How much should a sponsors rep be paid?

We get lots of posts from webmasters complaining about the level of knowledge and skills of sponsors reps. So HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE PAID?

$50,000 a year?

That comes down to $1,000 a week or less than $143 a day.

Or 7 joins a day. Yes the guy helping you is unlikely to be able to sign up 7 members a day or the sponsor is paying him more than $50,000 + benefits.

If you want a guy who is the top notch and knows the site, traffic and your job from A to Z, how much do you think he's worth and how much do you think he should be paid?

I used $20 a sign us the absolute minimum and it should be closer to 5 joins as they should be worth $30 each. Plus a webmaster has some costs. Just illustrating the point.
