Associate Pay Question

I’m about to enter into my second year of an associate contract and I’m not sure what to do..

I am at a practice with the intent to take over for a retiring dentist (who wants to retire in 3 years), but my daily production is horrible because the owner doesn’t like advertising and all the existing patients want to see him. I only average $1000 per day in production, but I’ve been getting daily draws through the first year that will be converted to salary since I will be below the mark at the end of the contract year.

So my question is, if my production is so low that I know I won’t be making much based off production percentage, what should I ask for my daily minimum to be as a second year associate if I decide to stick around? (I live in a relatively low cost of living area)
