Recurring commissions on Solo plans, Team plans, and add-ons for up to 12 months per client. Implementation fees now commissionable. Book floor protection for senior reps.
Commission on Solo plans, Team plans, add-ons, implementation fees, and multi-year contracts. No commission on the $50 Blueprint.
12-Month Recurring Window: Each new client pays your commission rate for up to 12 months. Month 13 onward — commission stops. Stack new closes every month. The book floor ensures income doesn't cliff when older clients age out.

| Annual Plan (any) | Monthly × 10 | Annual Upfront | 15% | Full annual × 15% | Paid month 1 |
| 2-Year Contract (any) 🆕 | Monthly × 20 | Multi-Year | 16% solo / 13% team | Full 2-yr amount × rate | Paid month 1 in full |
| Impl. Fee — Standard 🆕 | $12,500 | One-Time | 6% | — | $750 |
| Impl. Fee — Custom 🆕 | $20,000 | One-Time | 6% | — | $1,200 |
| Impl. Fee — White-Label 🆕 | $25,000 | One-Time | 6% | — | $1,500 |
Multi-year deal power: A 2-year Team Scale contract = $100,000 total commitment. At 13%, rep earns $13,000 upfront in month 1. Reps who pitch 2-year terms actively get rewarded — don't default to annual when the client is ready to commit longer.
When a rep's active (within-window) MRR drops below $5,000 due solely to client aging — not churn — they receive a floor payment. This protects senior reps from income cliff edges while still requiring new closes.
Draw active. No accelerators. See Draw & Base tab.
All accelerators activate. SPIFs live.
After 2 consecutive months 130%+ quota. $1,500 base + floor protection unlocks.
$2,500 base, all SPIFs, priority leads, equity review eligibility.
All three types stack simultaneously. New in v4: multi-year deal SPIF and implementation fee SPIF added to the stack.
All three types active simultaneously: Tiered bands reprice your whole month retroactively when you cross a threshold. SPIFs are separate same-week cash payments. Nothing cancels anything else.
Cross a threshold and it applies retroactively to every dollar you closed that month.
Same-week cash on top of accelerated rates. Two new SPIFs in v4: Multi-Year Deal and Implementation Fee.
Overrides paid on active MRR of every rep in your chain. Manager Override Accelerator and VP/President Tenure Multiplier unchanged from v3.
| Role | Solo Plans | Team Plans | Add-Ons | Impl. Fees | On $50k Team MRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales Manager | 1.5–2.0% | 1.5–2.0% | 1.0% | 2% | $750–$1,000/mo |
| Regional Manager | 2.0% | 2.0% | 1.5% | 2% | $1,000/mo |
| VP of Sales | 3.0%+ | 2.5%+ | 2.0% | 3% | $1,500/mo+ |
| President of Sales | 4.0%+ | 3.0%+ | 2.5% | 3% | $2,000/mo+ |
Implementation fee override: New in v4 — all leadership levels earn a one-time override on implementation fees closed by reps in their chain. A VP whose rep closes a $25,000 white-label implementation earns a one-time $750 override on that deal. Encourages leadership to actively support enterprise close cycles.
| Years in Role | VP Base | VP Effective | President Base | President Effective | Extra Monthly (on $500k MRR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 3.0% | 3.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | — |
| Year 2 | 3.0% | 3.25% | 4.0% | 4.25% | +$1,250/mo |
| Year 3 | 3.0% | 3.50% | 4.0% | 4.50% | +$2,500/mo |
| Year 4 | 3.0% | 3.75% | 4.0% | 4.75% | +$3,750/mo |
| Year 5+ (cap) | 3.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | 5.0% | +$5,000/mo |
Recoverable draw for new reps during ramp. Non-recoverable base for senior performers. Commission advance policy for high earners.
Repayment: Max draw exposure is $6,250 (months 1–3). Repaid at $500/month from month 4. Remaining balance due within 30 days of voluntary departure. Termination without cause waives remaining balance.
High-performing reps who close large deals shouldn't wait 30 days to see their money. Commission advances are available on qualifying deals.
Why this exists: A rep who closes a Team Dominate deal earns nearly $12,000 in commission over 12 months, with $1,000 in month 1. Under the advance policy, they can request up to $800 within days of close. This is a real recruiting differentiator — most orgs make their best earners wait. We don't.
Prospect registration, split-deal rules, co-sell attribution, and protection windows. Prevents internal conflict before it starts.
First rep to log a prospect in the CRM owns that prospect for the protection window. No exceptions.
When two reps jointly work a deal, commission splits must be agreed before the call and documented. Default split is 50/50.
| Scenario | Default Split | Can It Be Customized? | Approval Required | SPIF Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two reps co-present and co-close | 50% / 50% | Yes — any split agreed in writing before the call | Manager must countersign split agreement | SPIF split matches commission split |
| One rep brings the lead, other closes | 25% / 75% | Yes — default is 25% sourcing / 75% closing | Manager approval | SPIF paid to closing rep only |
| One rep assists single call only | 10% / 90% | Yes — by mutual agreement | Manager approval | SPIF paid to primary rep |
| No pre-call agreement documented | 50% / 50% | No — default is final | — | Split 50/50 |
| Dispute after close with no agreement | 50% / 50% | No — post-close disputes default to 50/50 | VP adjudicates | Split 50/50 |
The golden rule: Agree on the split before the call. Write it down. Get manager sign-off. No split agreement = 50/50, no exceptions, no appeals. This protects everyone and eliminates the most common commission dispute in multi-rep orgs.

For reps and leaders who build the company at the highest level — there is a path beyond commission. Formalized here for the first time.
Why this exists: A rep who hits President's Club two or three years in a row is not just a salesperson — they're building Recruiter Machine. If there's no next level, a competitor will create one for them. This pathway is our answer to that. It is real, it is documented, and it is earned.
Leadership equity: VP of Sales and President of Sales positions carry separate equity discussions as part of their initial offer letter negotiation. The pathway above applies to individual contributors. Leadership comp packages are structured separately and documented in individual employment agreements.
All commission rules, edge cases, and protections in one place. Updated in v4 with non-solicit clause, late payment grace period, and expanded chargeback protection.
Rep earnings with draw, base, accelerators, SPIFs, implementation fees, and multi-year deals. Override income with tenure. Affiliate 12-month cohort model.
Includes draw/base, accelerator tier, SPIFs, implementation fees, and multi-year commission
Manager accelerator + VP/President tenure multiplier included
Cohort-based projection with churn — commission stops at month 12
