More ways to earn.

$500

Recruit bonus

When someone you bring on closes their first deal.

$100/deal

Team lead override

On every deal your team closes, once you lead one.

Where this goes.

Everyone starts as a rep. Nobody has to stay one.

Rep

Start here. Learn the pitch, knock with the team, close your first deal.

Closer

PLACEHOLDER: consistent monthly deals (e.g. 4+ for 2 months). Run your own appointments.

Team Lead

PLACEHOLDER: recruit and train reps. Earn an override on your team's deals.

Manager

PLACEHOLDER: run a territory and a team of team leads.

The fine print

All earnings shown are examples, not promises or averages. What you earn depends on your effort, schedule, territory, and how many of your deals pass the home review and reach install. Deals that cancel before install do not pay. Bonus programs can change; the current plan is confirmed in writing when you join. Questions? Ask Sage directly.
