“Traditionally, our industry’s model has stated that sales reps should receive compensation equal to 10-14% of the hardware revenue produced during that year. As an example, $1,000,000 in hardware sales should equal $100k-$140k in total compensation. I’m curious since dealers are pushing services more and more how that has effected that model since services transactions may not result in hardware sales. If you know how much you made in 2013 and how much hardware you sold, what % of hardware revenue did you receive as compensation in 2013?”
