Does anyone know how the percentage of commissions is calculated? If I submit a show for 250 in the beginning of the month and then a 800 & 440 show at the end of the month doesn't it go up a certain percentage? I can't find anything, my director says its in my paperwork, but I can't locate.
 
...$1-$749.99 you make 20%
$750-$1249.99 you make 22%
and so on
it's in your cosultant planner,

if you get paid 20% for a show that you submitted at the first of the month and your comission rate ends up being 25% at the end of the month then you get paid an extra 5% on your next check. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks again!
 
Its also on the back of the SuperStarter program brochure.
 
It is also in the Consultants corner under "Downloads" and then "Monthly Sales Diary"

It is listed at the bottom of the sales diary.:)
 
calculating commissionI'm not too clear on this. I'm hoping someone will be patient with me. Our commission is paid monthly, right?

If I had 4 parties last month of $200, $350, $500 and $600, would I be paid 20% for each of those parties, or would I be paid 23% on ALL of those parties at the end of the month?
 
You are paid monthly, so as long as you submitted all those shows in the same month you will be paid 23% on all of them.

If you received a mid month payment, it may have only been 20% on those first shows, but they will add the 3% on your end of month check.

I hope this makes sense... let me know if I was unclear :D

And Congrats on a great month!
 
I got it!

Thank you very much.
