Rep Power: 0 | As our salon is going to open next month I have been trying to come up with a comission base. I was thinking an incentive comission like for instance selling lotion under $500 a month 3%, $500-$1000 5%, over $1000 10%. Has anyone tried this approach and if so, how did or does it work for you? Also if you have tried it what would you consider a good price ranging and comission amount? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!! |

Rep Power: 0 | But I think they need some sort of incentive to sell. They are not going to care if they are making $6.75 an hour with no chance of making more. Thats the sad fact, I even know for myself im gonna try a heck of alot harder to sell something if I get something out of it too, in general thats the way it is. |

Rep Power: 22 | Yeah, you should wait on the commission. The employees are a liability to begin with until they learn the ropes from you and prove themselves.Plus you will probably go through them like crazy so rewarding them from the get go is only going to cost you extra dough and won't help you as much as it will hurt you. Go with the Quote:So you think maybe I should have something like if you are employed here after 3 months youll start getting comission and maybe after 6 months up the comission and so forth? idea... |

Rep Power: 0 | Charge them per month, say 19.99, to tan until six months, then free tanning. If you have an employee that last that long, they are set in the salon, know how you run things and most likely will stay there for a longer amount of time. IF you want to do commission...my first salon did this and it was an incentive to sell...do something like 5% on anything under 35.00 and 7% for anything above. If you do contracts...$5.00 each contract they sell. If they don't sell, they don't make money, if they don't make money you aren't making money. Management shouldn't change on commission, but they would get free tanning once they were promoted. I insist that my employees are tan. Who wants to go to a salon with some white chick helping you, people won't trust that. |
