It’s not very often when an article gets me so agitated that I feel that I have to respond but, this one did … No Commissions, No Quota: the Future Model for Sales? My impression is that he has chosen to paint all commissioned reps with a broad, not so complimentary, brush. I hope that I have misinterpreted his intentions!

As a commission-only independent contractor, I was starting from scratch (no accounts or even leads), I needed to formulate a plan. Folks had always been happy to refer me to potential clients and I was most appreciative of those referrals! Becoming referral worthy. You keep the referrer informed of your progress.

Referral Commission Offer! I always love and appreciate your referrals! If you refer me, and these folks contract for my services , I will pay you a 20% commission on that full contract value. This commission applies to the original training contract only. Now I’m going to PAY you for them! Cold hard cash.

Additionally, I wanted to work on a commission only program. They are in the unique position to introduce you to others who might need your services. These are at the very least warm calls and are more likely referrals. More importantly, they had no fear that this referral would come back to bite them in the butt.

Set aside time each day to prospect – Not doing so is the most common reason behind the commission roller coaster. I prefer warm calls (having names, a feeling for them and their company, or a known need) and referrals and we will talk much more about this topic! Squandered opportunity. How about your website? Create the deals!

Particularly with commission salespeople, their paychecks look like a rollercoaster ride. A good salesperson not only needs to build new relationships, they need to maintain and strengthen relationships with existing clients who are their best sources for repeat business and referrals. Build relationships. Reminders and tasks.

Networking groups have fed me consistently throughout the years and they have yielded several million dollars in sales as a direct result of referrals and that is the magic word. Would you rather make cold calls or follow-up on a referral? I wanted to sell and I wanted to do so as an independent contractor on a commission only basis.
