Paving profit value - canvasser commission.

[SERVALNET]

Hi all, I feel I'm quite good at direct selling and have done canvassing for a few years now and looking to get some customers (not leads) for local paving companies going door to door. I have a few general questions about the paving sector especially block-paving if anyone can answer:

1. What is the average project value for installs?
2. Do you get a lot of repair only jobs? what value are these?
3. What would be a fair ballpark commission for us both if I hand you a paying customer? e.g. Would 10% of net invoice be good, too low, too high?

I'm thinking for every £1000 I'd like £100, leaving you with £900, but I also don't know if there's any profit in this sector for you or if you're rolling in it so just looking for some general advice that you'd consider fair for both parties.

Also, I asked about the small repair jobs as to give me a better understanding of what to expect and whether I'd need to establish a minimum fee and how that could also be fair. It would be easy to say oh I want £200 for a customer but you mainly only get repair jobs with a profit of £100.

I know there's a million variables like location, season etc but if you can help with any insights on what to expect that would be great. Thanks
