Hi MJ, how would/do you go about on commision? I have 2 employees now during slow season and I just can't find the right "recipe" to keep them motivated and selling. Is comission worth it then trying something else? Thanks

I play Bingo with them. On your computer make a bingo chart. Whoever gets a row wins $20 bucks, or dinner tickets or movie tickets. Works here. Make sure the competition stays friendly, and up the stakes when the boxes are being highlighted fast enough!

AllSeason,
What does the Bingo chart have on it???...I like the idea, just not sure how to execute it!
Please tell more.Thanks.

My now has things like: Sell $100 in one shift. Make your weekly goal. Smokin' bottle. Infared bottle. Year EFT. Sell 3 EFT's in one shift.
Things like that. I change it every time. I don't make it too easy, but also I make it attainable. The catch is, I play with them.
We also do a version of darts. Fill up your chart first, get a prize.
Hope this helps.

last April alone I personally sold over $30,000 in lotions. Commision is a nice thing, but you need to remember there are alot of expenses that need to be accounted for before you can start coughing up close to $3000 in bonus/ month per employee.

If you sold $30,000 in lotions, then you can have a $3,000 bonus.

We make each employee obtain a certain-per tanner average in order to receive commission-I show them weekly where theya re at, if they just sit around and don't put any effort into it-they will not make their goal. Works great!!!
During the busy time our girls will receive $200-$400 per month each.
