Commission models

Roll the plan out. Then let it run.

A commission plan groups the people, the models and the period. Assign a team and Prowi knows exactly who was on it at period end. Stack models for base, kickers and accelerators. From there it runs itself.

Most plans live in three places that disagree.

The contract PDF, the finance spreadsheet and the rep’s memory. Each one is right about something and wrong about the rest. Every dispute starts there.

So you spend the quarter arguing about the rules instead of the deals.

One plan: the people, the models, the period.

Assign people individually or by team. A person can be on several plans but never twice on the same one. Each plan has a period type and a status: active, maintenance while you rework it, expired when it has paid its last period. Periods can be offset from the calendar, so a plan that runs from the 16th to the 15th or on your fiscal quarters works as-is.

So there is one place the rules live, and everyone reads from it.

03Modeller

Stack models instead of writing one monster formula.

Base commission, a kicker for deals over a threshold, a quarterly accelerator, a team override for managers. Each is its own model with its own data sources and metrics. Tiers, accelerators, kickers, splits and clawback windows are all building blocks.

So a rep can read the plan and know what the next deal pays.

Models in the Enterprise planEach one calculates on its own
Base commission8% of closed won ARR
Accelerator12% on ARR above quota
Multi-year kicker€1,500 per 36-month term
Team override (managers)1.5% of team ARR
Corrections window6 periods
04Teams

Teams with memory.

Prowi keeps the full history of who was on which team and when. Assign a team to a plan and each period resolves its members as of the period’s last day. Move a rep mid-quarter and both plans calculate correctly.

So reorganisations stop being a manual reassignment exercise.

Change the plan without rewriting history.

Every statement is pinned to the configuration snapshot that calculated it. Change a rate for April and January still knows it was paid at the old rate. Test the change in the Studio first, then place it on the timeline.

So plans can evolve with the business instead of calcifying.
