Commission Rates?

A question for the reps out there:

I'm a seasoned sales professional making the leap to medical/surgical device sales, and I'm in the dark as to what I should expect, or what the "industry standard" is, for commission rates. I'll be selling spinal implant products for spinal fusions (titanium screws, rod, instruments for fusion procedures, etc.).

I'll be negotiating with the distributor hiring me this week, so if anyone out there has experience with these products and can let me know whas "fair" commission rates are, I'd appreciate it!

THANKS!!!

Jonathan
