  • Most of the commission amount calculations are carried out monthly or quarterly. If quarterly, additional bonuses will come at play as per requirement from client.
  • All the grouped invoices/ Credit Memo sales will be applied usually to the Sales Manager
  • Commission can be defined for a new sales rep when target is not defined. However, the commission will be a definite percentage of the sales until target is defined for the POC.
