Super curious to understand commission structures for those in tech solution sales. What’s your base comp? What % of GM hits your bottom line? I’m currently at 95k base, realizing 8% at an estimated 40% GM. Unsure if this is a competitive structure.

I’ve got 10+ years experience in tech sales. Top performer. Just joined this org after a sabbatical. Not yet at my 2nd year here: should be on target for $220k or so. Previously been well over 300 so just trying to figure out if comp structure here is competitive.

Thanks for the feedback!

Do you get to build a book of business? In other words, do you get any commission from your accounts renewals? Or are you only getting commission off of new accounts or new licenses/subscriptions?

Sorry GM=Gross Margin

Not sure about GM.

About to hit 1YOE: 80k base & 130k OTE (ramped)

Likely get 90k base & 180k OTE next year

If I join competitor, 100k base with 200k OTE

I receive 16% of ARR. Jumps up to ~20% after 100% of quota and caps at 24%

I’m trying to move over to tech sales I need some companies to apply at any help is much appreciated

I'm in sales now, but was at 128 base with 16% variable based on brand performance and other personal KPIs when in tech sales 4 yrs ago. However, my company doesn't pay as well as many depicted here.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K). Was making ~3K/week on average in my previous role which was commission only, no base. Feel like I am completely wasting my time and potential. Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?
