Should an office manager who starts landing sales get paid commission? (for experienced sales professionals)?
-
I'm an office manager at a manufacturer, and have been working for 1 year. Since being here, I have been working hard to update the companies overall image and exposure to new customers through use of a website, directed marketing approaches and direct email contact with potential clients. Now, I have begun to land a ton of business. My day to day duties are still back office related, but since I am generating sales.....should I ask for commission? If so, should I be given the usual sales targets as a salesperson (minimum number required before commission kicks in) or should I just be given commission right off the bat? I am not intending on becoming a full time salesperson, but do think generating revenue and profit for the company is important to its success........how should the company view me and my work efforts?

Answer:
If one of my back office people started landing "a ton of business", I would be doling out a bonus, roughly the size of the commissions and I would be talking with them about continuing as a full time salesperson. True, good, producing sales people are rare and if I found one, I would try to keep them in my company. Good luck to you.
