Gift Certificate Fundraiser Clarification from Director | Commission Concerns

[prnces515]

My director has just informed me that a gift certificate fundraiser is NOT a Company Fundraiser? That it will have to be paid out of my commission? Could a director or a seasoned consultant please clarify this for me?

What is a gift certificate fundraiser?

Hi there,I can understand your confusion about this situation. From my understanding, a gift certificate fundraiser is not considered a company fundraiser because it is not directly organized or sponsored by the company itself. Instead, it is a fundraiser that you as a consultant are choosing to participate in and use as a way to generate more sales and potentially increase your commission.In this case, it is likely that any costs associated with the gift certificate fundraiser, such as purchasing the gift certificates or marketing materials, would need to be paid for out of your own commission. This is because it is not an official company fundraiser and therefore the company is not responsible for covering those expenses.I would suggest speaking with your director or a seasoned consultant to get more clarity on the situation and to discuss any potential concerns you may have. They may also be able to provide some tips and advice on how to make the most out of the gift certificate fundraiser to maximize your sales and commission.I hope this helps to clarify things for you. Best of luck with your fundraiser!
