Penalized for a 12 month commitment vs 24/36.. 📆💸

Question

Wondering if anyone else gets penalized for selling a 12 month deal VS multi-year deals?

By penalized I mean: reduced quota relief, 40% quota credit, and 3.6% paid out for a 12 month deal VS 100% quota credit, and 10% paid out on multi-year deals...

Accepted Answer

Tell us what company you work for so we can all avoid it...and then we'll help you get out.

Answer

This is fucking crazy and the fact that its a platform for projects makes it even worse - heed @poweredbycaffeine advice and get out of there

Answer

Nope not here. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Based off your comments, it seems like a skeezy way for your company to pay you less cash. Tell them to change it, or start looking elsewhere. If you're any good at sales, it won't be hard to find work in this market

Answer

That blows man. We get rewarded for multi year, not penalized for single year

Answer

Sounds like your company isn't financially stable

Answer

That's is a bad structure. We get paid out for multi year.

Answer

Lmao what? I’d be outta there in a heartbeat

Answer

We get extra commission on multi year...same quota relief through regardless of contract length.

Answer

Sounds like some straight up BS and your company wants people to leave, get out before you are the last one holding the candle.

Answer

I do and my standard term is 60-months, at my previous gig the standard was a 36-moth term. I used to get hung up on it, but aren't they always trying to fuck with our comp plans? Especially when you are killing it. I was never hit as hard as they are hitting you and was paid at 70% on 12-month deals.

Answer

We don’t get a penny more/less for renewal length 🤷‍♂️

Answer

Wow, you're supposed to be rewarded for multi-year deals, not punished for initial 1-year deals. That is insane.

Answer

This is one of the stupidest quota systems I've ever heard about, sorry for your loss.

How many months per year should an AE be allowed to miss his/her quota without losing the job?

What major actions would you take on month ends and quarter ends to hit your quota and also increasing the logos of yours from your pipeline?

FEELINGS- Your commission is annual (ARR) but the customer paid monthly (MRR) and if there is a churn in the next few months, the company will deduct by increasing your quota and taking the equivalent amount $$ from your quota in the next month.
