Our sales team sells membership for $30k-$75k and make about $400 on each sale now matter how much. Each month management takes $500 for a “minimum performance charge.” All and all, my colleague has made the company over $400k this year and has only made 0.2% of that ($8k). Sales reps also report to 3 different people on average and there’s no cohesion between the 3. It’s wild.

Sound like great sales people. If they are ever looking to move let me know. I would love them over here at Food & Beverage Magazine

Pretty egregious in my view since that $8k isn’t even close to a livable wage. That $500 “minimum performance charge?” I’m not even sure that is legal. I’m in sales and our commission levels are performance based and range from 22-25 percent of total sales.

Kind of.

Certainly having a base cuts into commission potential, but still! With those numbers they are way off.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
