When commissions grow, the spreadsheet breaks.
What works with a few clients and a few people stops working when more teams, projects, rules, exceptions and variable pay come into play.
- 01
Manual calculations
Every close, invoice or project requires reviewing sheets, formulas and conditions.
- 02
Unclear rules
People don't always understand what percentage they're entitled to or under what criteria.
- 03
Hard-to-detect errors
One wrong cell can generate incorrect payments or internal disputes.
- 04
Constant exceptions
Every client, project or person has their own special case.
- 05
Poor traceability
It's hard to explain where each commission comes from.
- 06
Scaling becomes dangerous
The larger the company grows, the more fragile the calculation system becomes.
