My salesperson is purely on commission. Today he approached me with a restructured commission proposal.
20% commission for a sale between $10K - < $50K
15% commission for a sale between $50K - < $100K
10% commission for a sale >= $100K
This structure doesn’t make sense because he won’t be motivated to sell for $110K ($11K commission) because that sale will give him less commission than a $95K ($14,250) sale.
Also 80% of the deals will fall between $10K - $50K.
How would you counter his offer?
Thank you.
