I have a $50k commission check that I’m afraid to spend because I’m worried the clawback is coming. The client I closed is notoriously flaky, and if they churn within the first 90 days, the company takes every cent of that commission back out of my future pay. It makes it impossible to celebrate a big win. Do you guys actually spend your big checks right away?

This is insane! I would definitely wait on spending the commission check! If the client is flaky and your commission check isn’t guaranteed. It should be guaranteed before handing it over too you, so idk 🤷‍♀️ why you were given a check that has not been secured. I hope that helps.

Smart idea… 💡

Additional Posts in Salaries In Sales

I am planning on asking for a raise in my base salary and I am unsure what the market price would be for my skills at a staffing agency. I am in the top producer at my company with over 50 producers. I generate an average of $120k in GM per quarter. I am approaching my first year end review and I am currently at a base salary of $70,000 and I have 3 years of prior experience in the industry. What should I be asking for in this situation?

Apologizes if this is a dumb question: but do companies keep the same pay for every employee regardless of location?

For example: paying someone a base of 80k in Georgia vs paying someone 80k in California

or do they make exceptions when it comes to base salary on location?

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
