The basic kinds of commission paid to employees include the following:
Base Salary Plus Commission
This is the preffered choice of employees, While making a commission, the employer also provides the employee a salary. At times, it may be a specific amount weekly, or can be an hourly wage. Because sales, at times, may not always be steady, this method works best for the employee. This also serves as an advantage for the employee who is new to this type of commission pay, giving them some time to master their craft.
Usualy, commissions that are paid are large sums. This gives the employer the advantage of being able to set the base salary low, forcing the employee to focus on his performance and ability to sell. In this model, commissions are less than if the employee were working strictly on commission.
Straight Commission
This can be a very lucrative arrangement for highly talented and motivated salespeople. Since no salary is offered, the sales person’s speed will play a large part of their commission pay. Commissions are generaly paid out in percentages. For example: If you make 10% on a $100 sale, your commission would be $10. Bigger ticket items would earn even more. Some employers may offer bonuses for perfomance.
Network Marketing
This is a combination of straight commission with business ownership. Unlike most business types, where upfront investments are usually steep, network marketing has a low entry point. One such company is Joy To Live. The entry point is just $25. For this you receive a product of your choice, a website, to show off your e-commerce and a back office, where you can track your progress. Membership is free and is yours for a lifetime. The hottest ticket item is their mult-mineral supplement, Fulvia. You can search for the .com site NewFulvia
