Because there are different ways to structure a sales compensation plan, you should run your organization's projected revenue alongside multiple different structures to see which one yields the preferred commission to the sales staff while retaining the right amount for your business. HubSpot's Free Sales Compensation Calculator can help determine which plan is best in your company.
A salesperson should sell at least enough to hit their on-target earnings (OTE). The business sees that as the minimum amount a rep should sell in a given time. Anything past OTE, a rep might make a higher rate of commission on that sale.
A sales bonus is calculated by applying the agreed-upon bonus percentage to the amount sold. For example, if someone sells $100,000 over their OTE and was told they would receive a 10% bonus for doing so, that rep would earn a sales bonus of $10,000.
