Depending on the company they may make salary, commission, or some combination of the two. You should check with the company you are wondering about to see what they offer.
I have been a director of sales and VP of sales at several solar installers. Residential solar salespeople, or design consultants, can be paid in a variety of methods; full commission (most common), recoverable draw plus commission, non-recoverable draw plus commission, or base salary plus commission. The commission will typically be greater if there is no base salary. Expenses, such as mileage, will vary as well. Many companies offer salespeople benefits. The benefits and expenses make a big difference in quality of life. The most common, full commission range 5% to 7.5% depending on if self-employed, volume of business, bonus plans, mileage reimbursement, etc. Recoverable or non-recoverable draws typically range $2k-$3k month; commissions will be in the same range as if on full commission. Base salary can range $2k-$3.5k per month. The commission schedule will most likely be lower with a base salary; range 3% to 5%. Conclusion; no matter the method of payment, a successful residential solar salesperson or design consultant can make $60,000 to $300,000. The large difference is due to the company's offerings, available financing, number of leads, geographic location, available rebates or state tax incentives, and most importantly, the individuals knowledge, experience and sales ability. Good luck.
That's what you make & depends upon the percentage & your sales.
100% Commission
The answer to that is simple. Most sales people are commission driven and if they don't feel they will make enough money from you, they treat you badly. Also, sales people are usally desparate to make a sale, so they will lie, cheat and steal to make a buck. This is just a small % of sales people, most sales people are ethical, upstanding people. Not all sales people are rogues.
A good sales rep can make a pretty good salary. According to Forbes, on the average one can make a little over 84 thousand dollars a year.
A sales clerk makes around 17,000 dollars a year. A sales clerk can earn more if they make commission on top of this salary.
The average salary of a software salesperson is about 47,000 dollars per year. Many software sales are on commission so it is possible to make much more with sufficient effort.
It depends if you make commission and if so what % you get per sale. Also it depends how good of a salesperson you are.
The salary for an elevator salesperson can vary greatly. Most sales jobs pay is from commission so the salary will depend on how many sales are made.
PRI sales force get paid commission, NOT salaries. Office personel are paid salaries. Division Leader is a designation for sales force position Primerica has.
A retail cosmetic associate will only make around 25,000 dollars. They make up to 40,000 dollars a year if they make commission.
Most drivers make commission, the average commission is 30% of the tow. sometimes they make commission and salary.
The average base salary is between 40-45k to start with another 15-20k in commission in year 1. There is a great Verizon Sales forum at B2Breps.net. B2Breps.net is a Sales Discussion and Job Board. They have over 25 specific company boards where reps talk about their companies. You will hear the good, the bad and the ugly. Good site!!
There is no such thing as a typical sales commission on anything. This is something that has to be determined between sales person and company hiring the sales person to make sales.
Sue received $450 this week. The more Sue sells the more money she will receive because her commission is a percentage.
entry level make $8/hr and 10% commission on what you sell. As you get older, the $ per hour is increased. 3rdkey makes $11/hr +10% commission manager and asst manager are salary based.
That is a very open ended and very deep question. The reason I say that is because most people take a percentage of the sale and call that commission. Sales of $10,000 commission times 10% = $1000.00 commission. Nothing could be further from the truth. That is commission of gross sales..How about commission from net sales...How about a performance based commission. There are so many ways to devise a comp plan. Just make sure you know what you are actually paying in commission.
