How Commission-Only Sales Reps Can Drive Business Growth

The commission-only sales model ensures that sales representatives receive a set commission for each sale they close. They do not receive a base salary or benefits. In a nutshell, the more they sell, the better their paycheck.

The commission-only model is popular for startups or SMEs that do not have the resources to pay salaries. It is also commonplace in industries like roofing sales, solar sales, and pest control sales. Accordingly, the commission-only sales model offers superior scalability for growing companies, as you can adjust the number of sales representatives accordingly.

There are a myriad of other benefits of the commission-only sales model for both the company and the sales representative. Let's dive in.

Why Commission-Only Sales Models Can Skyrocket Your Business Growth

One of the primary advantages of commission-only sales models is that they can incentivize sales representatives to work harder. They establish a highly motivating connection between performance and reward. The commission-only model encourages salespeople to find innovative and effective strategies for upselling more products, accruing more leads - and closing more deals.

Plus, the commission-only model allows unlimited earning potential, meaning the most successful representatives will be rewarded plentifully for their acumen. Generally, the commission-only sales model offers greater autonomy for the sales rep over their time and efforts, meaning they can fully control their salaries.

A benefit of the commission-only sales model from the company's perspective is that it can save operational costs from taxes and benefits. More specifically, firms typically pay a portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes (the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA) for their employees, which are made redundant with a commission-only structure. A side effect of this is that your HR department will perform less administrative work pertaining to employee benefits, time off, and performance management - leading to increased efficiency and costs saved.

In summary, by slashing the costs associated with salary-based sales, you can decrease operational costs while boosting your sales figures by employing highly motivated sales representatives.

However, the commission-only sales model is contingent on finding the right sales representatives who are prepared to start smashing their sales targets. For recruiters, finding such candidates may represent a long and arduous process. That's where HyperHired comes in.
