Answer 1

I'd need a minimum of $130 G plus travel, meals and lodging.  Full medical, dental, vision and a generous retirement package.  In return, I will make the job mine, and not only work as if the company's success depended upon my services, but as if I were part owner of the company.

Answer 2

Wow, well if you are capable of working to that capacity, then you should expect to be paid accordingly. I'd assume you should make at least 50k - 75k to start, and that your company cover all travel expenses.

anything to feed a family and to keep me entertained (10-120k)

$60,000

THE CATERPILLERMAN

MY FEE IS GOING TO BE 1,000,000 DOLLARS A AHOUR

Answer 10

I would expect that this is going to be a lot of commission, right?  Its basically an outside sales job.  I would ask for a minimum of 40k base salary plus commission plus an expense account, cell phone, mobile email device (blackberry).   I can almost guarantee that they are going to try to make this all based on commission.  If NOT, then I think $60K to $70K would be fair.  I pay my ouside sales people $50K to start, but there is only local travel involved.
