To help you quickly get started with QuotaPath, we offer a template library of some common and effective comp plans. The Team-based Commission with Accelerators plan can be found under Sales Leader Plans.

A Team-based Commission with Accelerators plan is commonly used by Sales Managers, VP of Sales, Director of Sales, Head of Sales, and CROs.

Oftentimes, plans have accelerators where a sales leader earns a higher commission percentage if they overachieve their quota. Quotas for sales leaders are typically the sum of the quotas of people who report to them.

Below are a few examples of how this plan could be applied in a variety of industries and goods sold.

A Sales Manager has a 6 person team with a monthly quota of $198,000 ARR and earns a 2.5% commission of deals they close until they hit quota and 5% commission thereafter.

An IT Sales Director has a 10 person team with a hardware quota of $1,000,000 of revenue a quarter and earns .6% of deals their team closes. Once quota is hit, they earn .8% commission of everything their team sells.

An Insurance VP of Sales has a 100 person team with a resale quota of $20,000 of health plans per month each (total quota of $2,000,000 per month) and earns 0% of the premium of plans sold until they hit 50% quota, then .75% until they hit 100% quota, then 1% once they hit 100% quota.
