How it works
A commission pool sized by aggregate team attainment (e.g., $50K when team hits 100%) is split among team members based on a defined formula - often equal share, hours-on-deal, or a discretionary allocation. Common for SE / pre-sales pods, also used in inside-sales pods.
Formula
Pool = base_pool x team_attainment_multiplier. Per-rep payout = pool x allocation_share.
Worked example
Example. 3-person SE pod. Pool $30K at 100% team attainment, 1.5x at 130%. Team hits 120% → pool $42K. Equal split = $14K each.
