Here’s the harsh math behind scaling a commission-only sales team 👇

If you’re paying on commission, you don’t just need “a few good reps.” You need volume, a real recruiting system, and the skill set to sell your opportunity at scale.

On a typical team, only about 25% of new commission reps stick. That means you need to hire 4 people just to keep 1.

Now zoom out:
• ~100 applications → 1 rep actually shows up to onboarding
• ~10 hours of recruiting work per rep onboarded

So to get 4 in the door (and 1 who sticks), you’re looking at ~400 applications and ~40 hours of focused recruiting — *before* you’ve even invested in onboarding and ramp.

Most owners don’t have a “people problem.” They have a volume, process, and retention problem.

Once you crack the recruiting pipeline, the real game becomes onboarding and keeping those reps productive.

Have you actually run the numbers on your recruiting funnel lately?
