Anyone do any creative financial constructs with commission to further incentivize blowing out your number? For example anything over x$ commission I’ll spend on a new car, etc.? Love to hear advice to motivate myself monetarily!

I try and use every sales job I had as a way to pay off a major debt. My first sales role my goal was to pay off all student loans. My second was to have enough of a down payment for a house, etc.

Not sure if that will help but if you can set major financial goals for yourself with each role I find it makes the motivation that much stronger.

Then work backwards from that. Assume you’ll be in role for about 2-3 years, take your on target commissions and use that as your base for what you need to hit for your major goal. Then create a subset of goals such as “I’m going to take a nice vacation down south or do a trip to Italy” and give yourself a financial target for each one.

Keep track of it in a spreadsheet and I find the more you can see those goals come to fruition the more motivated you’ll be overall.
