Set up Ladder Commission Levels to Motivate!
Develop a ladder commission that only pays the extra percentage on the extra dollars earned (not retroactive to dollar one). Make the percentage increases 2% or 3% based on increasing sales about $ 150.00 per level. This gives the employee a continuing goal to aim for.
 Commission example:
 Guarantee $ 320.00 per week to all 40 hour employees
 Percentage From $ To $
45% $ 500 $ 650
47% $ 651 $ 800
49% $ 801 $ 950 no product charge
51% $ 951 $ 1100 $ 1000 per week
53% $ 1101 $ 1250
55% $ 1251 $ 1400
57% $ 1401 $ 1550 no service charge
59% $ 1551 $ 1700 $ 1500 per week
61% $ 1701 $ 1950
63% $ 1951 $ 2100
65% $ 2101 $ 2250
