No more commissions as of today, feb 11, 2012. Lowes just announced a few days ago that sales commissions will no longer be paid. they will pay sales associates one half of 2011's commissions earned, divided by 52 weeks, and add that tiny amount to future paychecks. Folks in appliances are going to take a huge hit. I have been at Lowes since August of last year, and rather than prorating my 18 weeks of service to Lowes for commission, they divided mine by the whole year. It works out that I will make an additional $2.57/ week. I can understand they may not want to pay huge commissions the appliance sales people, but to screw newer hires really annoys me. I really like working there, but I have no desire to work for $10.45/ hr with no chance of a raise until september.

To sum things up.... great place to work, as long as you are willing to work at a low starting wage and stay there.

What was Mr sellers' commission last week in dollars if he got a 6 percent commission from 1800 dollars in sales and how much will he have to sell this week to earn 120 dollars in commission?

Set up the problem and solve it: Sales * %commission = earnings (now insert the known numbers) 1800 * .06 = earnings (6% is the same as .06, now multiply to solve) 108 = earnings Now, to find how much he will have to sell to earn $120 using the same formula: sales * %commission = earnings (now insert the known numbers) sales * .06 = 120 (now divide both sides of the equation by .06) sales = 120/ .06 (do the division and solve) sales = 2000 (Mr Sellers needs to sell $2000 to earn $120 in commission)

How much you get paid for doing sales?

There are different types of sales positions. You can be salary, commission, draw against commission or paid in any type of combination. If you are paid based on a commission only structure you can earn $0 - the maximum cap the company has. I've worked in sales positions where I have earned nothing and others upwards to $80,000+. The best way to pick a position that will pay you the most is to chose a product that you are knowledgeable in, believe in, and that has the greatest commission potentials.
