Remuneration

Remuneration, at least initially, will be entirely performance-based (i.e. commission and bonus) and has been formulated to incentivise sales.
We understand from our research that it is generous when compared with the market rate.
The commission and bonus scheme is not capped and is therefore only limited by our supply. Should our current supply be entirely sold out, the total remuneration paid could exceed $160K p.a, however it is not expected that these volumes will be acheived for some years.
Detail of the commission scheme will be tabled and discussed at interview.

Applications, including resumes and references should be sent by email, in PDF or word format, to imports@kplusar.com
