A 10 to 20% commission is steep for someone who just sends you a potential client. Galleries get 40 to 50% for doing all of the sales work and spending the overhead money to put your art on their walls for months at a time. A sales rep is one who is actively and full time pursuing sales and commissions for you and other artists. They might earn at the 10 to 20% rate if they are good and handle the entire sale. Anyone else is simply a sales agent and should get only a 3 to 5% commission for a confirmed sale.
