Coffee Industry Sales Commission Rates

Hi guys, I have a question for coffee roasters if you're so inclined to answer.
I'm trying to determine coffee industry standards for commission rates for sales reps.

The best feedback I have so far is: 
3.5% until Base Salary is covered, sliding up after that with a 10% cap after goals, etc. are met (based on Gross Sales).

Any other feedback?
Thanks in advance :-)
