Compensation

Commission Structure:

- Deferred Payment:

$4,000 guaranteed after 30 full days of completion.

• Base Rate: Start at 3% commission on sales.

• Increased Rates: Commission increases based on performance milestones, such as reaching $100,000 (6%) or $250,000 (9%) in revenue generated from campaigns.

• Performance Review: Commission rates are reviewed and adjusted every few months, based on individual and business performance.

• Based Pay: 5% of all earnings generated after the successful completion of any marketing campaign.

• Team Commission Sharing: A small percentage of the Marketing Manager’s commission will be distributed among the marketing team:

• Marketing Executive: Receives a portion of the Marketing Manager’s earnings based on their contribution to campaign execution.

• Content Creator and Curator: Receive a very small portion of the Marketing Manager’s commission but are also compensated based on their impact on online presence, engagement, and driving sales.

• Individual Annual Cap: For the first year of working, the maximum commission payable is capped at $200,000.

Commission Sharing:

- The $200,000 cap applies only to your individual commission and does not limit your team’s earnings.

- If you’ve earned $120,000 and your team has earned $60,000, you haven’t reached your $200,000 cap yet. You can still earn up to $80,000 more.

- There’s no cap for the team as their earnings are independent.

- The $200,000 cap applies separately to each department you manage, allowing a potential total of $400,000 in your first year (e.g., $200,000 in sales and $200,000 in marketing).

Additional Information

The Marketing Manager position is contract-based, with the potential to transition to a full-time role as the business grows. This role requires flexibility and adaptability to the evolving needs of the company.
