A sales commission is a percentage of sales revenue paid to a salesperson as compensation for generating business. Commission structures vary widely — flat rate, tiered (higher rate at higher volumes), split (between multiple reps), or residual (recurring on ongoing contracts).
💡
Pro Tip
Understand your commission structure before joining a sales role. A 6% commission with high quotas can earn less than a 3% commission with achievable targets. Always model realistic scenarios.

Did You Know?
The term "commission" comes from Latin "commissio" (to entrust). Medieval merchants used commission agents to sell goods in distant markets — a practice that drove global trade before modern corporations.
