Money Mailer of Henderson Sales Commission
Schedule
Base Commission Rate: (4 or 8-Mailing Agreement signed*)
Zone Charge (Postage) – Printing – Art – Cross Sale = Margin divided by 2 =
Commission (50% of Gross Profit Margin)

Other Commissions/Bonuses:
• $50 for each new client above 5 new clients* in a given mailing cycle
• $5 per zone sold for all zones in excess of 50 zones sold
• $10 per zone sold for all zones in excess of 100 zones sold

Postcard or Print Only Sales:


The same calculation as Base Rate, but 50% GPM. Reason: There is often an inordinate
amount of administrative work to complete Solo or Print Only orders.

When Paid:
Commissions effective end of week when money is collected. Paid by following
Wednesday.

Charge-backs, Bad Checks or Credits back to client:


• If a client check bounces, or a credit card charge be reversed, commissions paid will be
deducted from future commissions due.
• If bad sales communication results in a client requesting an ad credit or refund, then the
sales commission plus printing & art costs will be reversed from future commissions due.
This means when an ad that is incorrectly printed & mailed has to be credited as a result
of an error on the part of the sales person, the cost will be born by the sales person. This
is a case-by-case basis policy.

Other Situations:
If anything has been ‘missed’ on this sheet, we will talk it out & be fair about the
concern.
