I am ready to transition my Salesmen to a base salary with commission to incentivize new hires & reward my long term guys. My industry is aftermarket auto parts. I am leaning towards a 2% commission but am flexible and just need help in figuring out salaries.

Hello! Good that you're thinking about employees. I have a question that is definitely not my business, but if your guys' business is small, did you consult with them about this and how they're feeling with this decision?

Yes my experienced guy loves it. Doesn’t know what to put as a base. Says he wants it. Trusts me to figure it out. Says he’d prefer 2% commission over 5% with a higher base.

Nice! At my company we did this a couple years ago, and in the end, everyone was happy. They were performing their duties in a smaller time frame, and even if they weren't working as much as previously, productivity increased because with a base salary, you make the same amount regardless of how much you worked, so I hope it goes well with your guys and best of luck!

Is it a good decision. Suggestions pls..

Does your firm provide an automatic raise each year of practice? Would you request for a raise if you have done exceptionally well and are paid below industry standards or is it just not the year to do so due to the pandemic?

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
