selling job commision

clammy

What are the feeling on a guy getting a commission on installs that said person sets up ,prices ,figures materals and time and installs the whole thing , and also is the only one in the company that is creating work.Also on another note i am getting the company twice as much for there jobs then before and no call backs on any installs.I've managed to sell and install 10 boilers 4 hot air furnaces 3oil tank replacement and a couple of complete repipes.I'm not bitchin but i'm using all of my own tools drills saws and hardware and have easley brought in close to 70 thousand in about 4 months while rest of our service staff sells and installs nothing an i crazy to think i derserve a commission on tyhese jobs or shouldbring it to the owners attention.On another note besides 1 or 2 guys helping me get the units into the homes i do the complete job alone no piping or wiring help no help period.Am i being selfish or is my boss taking advantge of my making work and staying busy attuide .

2 to 5 %

is what we pay for estimating and closing the deal. We provide all but simplest hand tools, so you'd have to work out the tool "rental" fee with your supervisor.

The break out on commisions is 2 % just for a word of mouth referal that someone else estimates and sells, and 5 % for a sale estimated and closed by the same person. It's not that much, and it should be built into the price of the job so it's not coming out of hte company bottom line.

It's only money...

Should a full time sales person who works on commission be paid a nominal salary? And if so, What is a normal rate? Feel free to shoot me an email instead of posting on here.

the last company that i worked for before going on my own gave me five percent straight up. this was a controls company that wanted to get into mechanical service. once my sales reached five hundred thousand for the year, they stopped paying. as a "lowly" tech i was making more than their well regarded salesforce who never left the office except to go to lunch.i was thankfull for the extra money, then one day i was talked into starting my own company by my accountant.

clammy

we will see

That's all i can say supposely something is going to happen if not, ya just pull a work slow down either way there at least 10 hrs ot every week on nite and weekend service.So no matter how slow it's durning the day there's always some calls at nite.But it's been brought to the right person now to see if they do the right thing, it just sucks when it has to be brought to said person attention when they know what's going and who is doing what .But that's what workin for the mans about and alljobs havethere advantages and dis advantages. thanks for the input peace

You should pitch it

to the owner of the company. DO NOT undersell your worth. Get all your facts in line, have the conversation when you won't be interrupted, TELL HIM what you think is fair. Worst he can do is say no and perhaps he will counter-offer. Then you have a decision to make. Stay calm, stay focused and look him straight in the eye when you tell him. Don't burn a bridge. If down the road you choose to leave to do it yourself then try to leave on good terms and when you choose. In the small contracting business as in any other it is good to be able to speak with your competitors. Have a ball. Good luck!
