Cost Comparison


Below is an example of typical costs associated with hiring one International Sales Manager for year one based in the UK. It is significantly higher if you have to place an ex-pat in territory :
Recruitment cost using head hunter specialist
£30k
Annual salary
£75k
OTE commission / bonus (part guaranteed in 1st year)
£50K
Car allowance
£5k
Fuel charges
£2k
National Insurance
£14k
Pension
£6k
Medical aid and insurance
£2k
IT
£1k
SUB TOTAL
£185k
Burden (e.g. management overhead , office space, comms etc)
£25k
Flights and expenses (assume 8 trips to Asia at £5k per trip)
£40k
GRAND TOTAL
£250k

Our charges would typically be less than half that total for an equivalent contribution but could well be a fraction of it depending on services and effort requirements. If the right channels and markets are mobilised you could expect to recover these costs on initial orders and then grow the revenues exponentially.
