Just venting but I guess I'm curious if anyone (assuming they watch this page) has had the same thing happen
Sold a big 11:11 managed backup deal ~$18k monthly charges to customer. T--a told that "Rule of 72! You'll make a bunch of money". BS. We recognize 15% of that as GP$, not commissions. I'm on 20% com plan. So I get $540/month. I make more than that a week on cables and DON'T have to project manage the thing over 10 weeks, dozens of meetings.
Wait there's more! The rep from 11:11 asks me if I got the SPIFF. "What SPIFF?" Oh yeah, we're running an incentive where you get 2x the monthly charge upfront! $36K...that would have been nice for the effort I + tyeam put in. Would've gladdly shared it with my gals for their work on it.
So I go complain to my VP. More calls. Turns out "oh we have to pay for overhead". Jesus F! I complained enough they "let me" recognize 15% of the $36k, $5,400, and then I get only 20% of that too!
WTF is wrong with these people?
