"Besides, even if they get the commission bonus, their total income isn't high!"
Yang Hui had run the numbers on this. At Futong Commerce, a sales associate's compensation was a 2,200 yuan base salary plus a 5% commission.
This compensation standard had been established several years ago when the average monthly sales for a single Airex store were 300,000 yuan. Some of the better-performing stores might hit 400,000, while the worst were still pulling in over 200,000.
Based on a calculation of eight employees per store—with one store manager who didn't make sales but received 1% of the store's total commission—the sales associates at a high-performing store would average about 60,000 yuan in sales per month. The top seller could exceed 100,000, while the lowest would be around 40,000. As for a store with only 200,000 in monthly sales, the top seller might generate 50,000 yuan, with the lowest performer at around 20,000.
