Damn son I thought commission was the one single perk of being a director 😂🥲 apparently not!

Are you in media sales? I’ve never heard of someone at an ad agency getting commission unless they are new biz. Bonus yes…but only year end and based on annual profits.

Charlotte, pharma/med tech agency, salary is 110

For new business, we have a base +commission model. The lower the base, the higher the commission. The higher the base, the lower the commission. The average commission is 10% of net. After 1 year the client converts to the agency and 4% net is earned for renewed contracts. There are caps in place for larger clients.

Well I’m in organic growth, so kinda new biz but on existing biz. No media sales just on new projects I create in partnership with the clients

My company gives a pat on the back for growing existing clients. Aren’t all account managers working in organic growth? 🤔 I’m curious about the fact that it sounds like your agency has it separate.

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
