tammy, we have a simple pay structure where the outside salespeople make a
base salary, then are paid a percentage of gross profit (not a percentage of
sales) from their accounts. although in the past we have had proposals to
implement a sliding scale, pay only upon collection, etc we've resisted the
temptation to get complicated. outside salespeople also have expense
account privlidges, mileage allowances along with the other std. benefits.
inside salespeople are on a similar plan, base + percentage of gross margin
along with other std benefits (but no expense account or mileage allowance).
the commission percentage for inside sales is smaller that for outside
sales.
for reporting, we use the sales region field to designate the outside sales
code, salesperson field to designate the inside sales code and sort the
commission report as required. i'll directly email both inside commission
and outside commission reports to you (respectivily, they are really
commission report by salesperson and commission report by sales region).
they are no things of beauty, the salespeople like to see line by line what
'they' shipped and how much commission they earned on each shipment- once i
thoughtfully made a summary version, but was confined to my keyboard until i
made the old detail report come back.....james martin
God bless each of us and our Country.

What is your pay structure? Would you be willing to share your report with
me? I would like to look it over and see if it will meet our needs. Thanks
for your assistance.
