Be your own boss. How good is a retail business?

[Zen]

i would like to seek the advice of those in retail trade...

what would be the best way to give commission to the retail salespeople? based on individual's sales or based on shop's overall sales?

if based on individual, then i'm sure everyone will be "killing" each other for sales..if based on overall sales, then some will laze and not work hard.

can someone suggest to me some ideas or advice about working out a commission scheme for retail sales people?

thank you.

Retail marketing creates a healthy competitive environment between retailers. This benefits consumers because it helps to keep their costs down when purchasing products. Retail marketing also helps keep competitors aware of what the other is charging for the same product.
