Sales Compensation Agreements

Sales compensation agreements are essentially promises built into a company's protocol that guarantee certain incentives for productive salespeople. The incentives usually are commissions on sales, but are not necessarily limited to commissions alone. Many incentives include allowances and transportation provided by the company in the event employees reach or exceed certain goals.
Sales Compensation Agreement Goals

The goal of a sales compensation agreement is to encourage productivity amongst employees, increase sales, increase creative thinking amongst employees and to meet sales and marketing goals within a company quicker than what would be possible without incentives for productivity.
