Post subject: How much should I ask as an one-man coffee representative?

And Italian consultancy company gave me an interview today and they may offer me a position as the salesman/representative of tosteria del corso, an Italian coffee company. Once hired, I'd be the Italian coffee companies sole presence (at least for a while) in China, based in Overseas Chinese Building near Jing'an Temple, and be going from bars to bars and hotels to hotels to promote tosteria del corso. how much do you think i should ask? it's a bit complicated since the salary would be comprised of a base salary and commission. None of the amout of base salary, the formula for calculating the commission or the minimal monthly quota i am supposed to sell have been touched in todays interview because it was just between the consultancy company and me.

And my other question is what do you think of this brand of coffee. Do you think it has good prospect in China? I'm eager to get the answers and thank all of u who have taken the patience to read my post!

I don't know this company. But, I will be your first customer. And, if it is any good, a customer for life. Honestly.

I hate not getting good coffee here.
