This model works if

Combined with an accelerator to shape both ends of the curve.

  • You are very confident in targets
  • Low seasonality between periods
  • Paired with an accelerator

Protecting the downside

Below the threshold the rate halves. The company does not pay full commission on a weak quarter, and the quota is reinforced as a real target.

Communicate carefully

Reps who fall behind can feel punished twice. Be explicit about why the floor exists and keep it low enough that a bad month is not a bad quarter.
