The three people I employ full time locally and the two part time all get over $26 per hour Australian. One gets $75 per hour.

These people are all professionals and I am prepared to pay well for loyal staff who step up to the plate and will put in more than a 9 to 5 day.

The problem with retail and sales is that companies are happy to pay college students and low end staff peanuts while pushing crap in malls and stores. Door to door sales is basically dead in Australia. Cold calling staff are expensive here and you can get twice the work done for 10 - 20% of the cost from call centres in India and Malaysia.

The moral of this story is, the money is in professional employment, not sales.
