    $300 - $350 - $500 AS A DRAW for Jrs and Closers - Plus 30% Of Profit Each Deal Brings in and 50% Of Fee Sheets (Split Amongst Reps On Deals)

    Commission for Telemarketer 10% Plus an Hourly
    Jrs get the Draw
    Closers Get The Draw

    Its Up to Closer how much he breaks off Jr Closer
    Closer gets 30% Telemerketer gets 10% - House gets 60% On Commission
    Fee Sheets - Telemarketer 10%, 50% Split Between Jrs and Closers on Deal.

    Thats How its always been.

    Your getting Killed with Salaries I think.

    Draw and Higher Commission fosters HUNGRY PEOPLE. BEASTS.
    When you are spoon feeding leads you need professionals (college degrees) and not beasts.Most of the standard shops are having people cold call all day so if they are not hungry beast they will do zero.By me we are all incoming i was unable to hire anyone telling them even 10%-20% when the shop down the block is offering 40%. most do not understand what having all leads brought to you is worth.

    For scaling, your business model is probably the most efficient, and my favorite. You probably have some employees who get to know the industry and feel like you're ripping them off by keeping most of the commissions and only paying a salary plus some bonuses. Some of those people will quit thinking they have the secret to success and make their own money. Most of them will buy UCC leads, call for a few weeks and call it quits, which leads them right back to the comfy salary position. A couple that did not give up, will source their own deals and figure it out, and then hire salaried employees... and so the cycle continues.

    I think Karen has triggered some mild PTSD in some members, if Ricky's comment is any evidence.

    In theory it sounds good . in particularity i dont think you can have sales man on a salary without some sort on incentive even if it is 1%

    So I don't have big turnover since most get scared to leave salary behind(I only hire someone with a family and bills)We are tight group and about 2-3 years ago one of the guys making 85k plus benefits left to someone promising him he will make that much a month.After 4 months of making zero (he was calling ucc off excel)he came crying back.Eventhough he was one of my best employees I refuses to take him back so everyone else knows if you leave you are done.He is now working in a restaurant just to scrape by and still uninvited pops in to the company events to beg for his job back.
