Is your base plus commission a 50/50 split? Mines is like a 40/60 split and would prefer a higher base.

Mine is a 50/50 split. There’s usually trade off- so moving to a higher base with a 60/40 model is likely going to have lower OTE and/or lower earning ceiling and accelerators

like

That is true. It does help that we get paid commissions monthly to balance out the lower base

Mine is 40/60. I definitely wish it was higher. I should have negotiated for more when I had the chance. *sigh*

Sounds like mines! The only good things is that our comp plan has much higher income potential and we do get commissions monthly which is nice

Mine is a 50/50 split.

No - I negotiated for a higher base when I started because it was a new startup and COL in the bay area is crazy.

40/60

I'm ~60/40. Generally, base pay scales with the size of your deals and length of your sales cycle.

Mine is also 40/60. Good this is that this is very felxible. We can get an increase in commission based on performance.

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?

Additional Posts in Sales

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
