What are sales commissions like at Leaf Home?

Up 24% commison possibilities, average was between 8% to 12% yearly average for commission for a good rep.

Huge territory with no guarantee of making money even if you do sell the deal, and racking up miles on your truck, and how much fuel you’ll burn in a day.

Decent starting wage, decent commission %

Absolutely awful company. Even as a man, the things I heard come out of my manager's mouths were absolutely abhorrent. They do not provide pay for travel (Not gas, nor wear to personal vehicle), but consistently required at least 2 hours of car travel per day. On some days it was closer to 4. This besides the fact that they put employee safety at risk by telling them to work late into the evening. Furthermore, my managers would frequently send us to no soliciting areas without the proper permits, resulting in the cops getting called more than once, and several trips from security out of private complexes we were told were fine to go to. I'm honestly lucky I don't have an arrest record from this job. Also, they talk a lot about the money but it really isn't there unless you're like a really bad person. Often the only way of getting people interested is overt manipulation tactics, and taking advantage of those with mental disabilty, which they teach you to do while training (at least at my local office). One of the last straws for me was when I found out my team lead was lying to my face about our office's (mostly his own) performance when his boss actually showed me the spreadsheet one day. Avoid Leaf Home at all costs, especially for the field canvasser and installer roles, which are extensively taken advantage of.

potentially decent income, leads provided

commission structure has changed several times for the worst

schedule is flexible and fair

2.5 hour radius, no mileage pay, unconfirmed appointments and cancellations often and zero pay for these. Forced to sell at cost if don't close at first and zero commission on cost jobs. extra material deducted from commission without notice or explanation even when asking .

Great commission potential. Plenty of leads in season

Long drive times. No benefits for sales reps

My co workers were kind and ambitious at the start.

There is a lot to be said, Ill do my best to sum some of it up. Bdurable is Leaf Home's newest addition, doing garage floor coatings. I'm sharing this in the hopes It will stop someone from making the same mistake I did working for this company. I started in a training class of 11 individuals, all from different walks, a few very seasoned sales guys, none of the 11 are still working with the company 4 months later. Right from the start with Bdurable the lies started, They train you that the product is proprietary, A specific blend that took years of R&D to develop, A product that is so strong it wont chip, bubble, or crack; In hopes of sticking to the rules on glass door, I will just leave it at that. They also tell you that the install team is top class, guys that have been in the industry for ages, even owned there own companies but decided to come to Bdurable because the product was just that much better, Another claim easy to debunk by having one conversation with the install guys and simply asking about there experience, Truth was they couldn't get installers to stay with the company and the turnover was crippling, Almost every job was done by a completely new team that knew very little about the process. This showed in there work, No less than half of the jobs I sold had major issues with install which ended in discounted work and less or NO money in the commission. They mentioned that we would being selling in the immediate St. Pete area, 90% of my presentations were 1:30+ away. Be ready to drive, and I mean a lot. assume 5 hours a day behind the wheel at least, sometimes upwards of 8. No compensation for gas. Which leaves the commission. As a Salesman you are free to price the product for however much you believe the customer will pay, the more you sell it for, the more you are payed, Sounds nice right? Well the company has a bottom line, If you sell at this price you get 0% commission, that's right, free work. Said cost price is on average above any competitors quotes. The only way for you to make any money is to sell the jobs at about double what competitors will offer. The company is also a "one and done" sales pitch, and they expect you to start high and work the price all the way down to cost before leaving, there is no keeping a book of business, If the customer, who only requested a free quote online, is not ready to buy from you on the spot, you're required to attempt to bully them into buying at "cost" which profits you nothing, Or write it off as a loss. This accounts for 75% of the jobs you will quote.

The product is very good. The Leaf Filter gutter cover is a very good product. It does what no other gutter cover can do. I really enjoy the clientele. Most are elderly and good people. Theyll offer you a cookie and coffee. The only products I have available are the Leaf Filter gutter covers. and Gutters

I really dislike the commission structure. Very hard to calculate commissions so it is a stab in the dark estimating how you come out after you close a sale. I just did a quote that could end up costing me $200. Training is incomplete. You are given a manual and that's about it. I have asked my Sales Operations Manager to help me figure out what I have been paid for, how much was I paid for jobs I sold etc. VERY ENIGMATIC Hard to track. Feel like you can get screwed if you don't watch and it is next to impossible to figure out. The pricing is very high on all products so you have to sell the quality and lifetime warranty. The commission is a sliding scale.....as mentioned earlier....hard to track I don't have enough leads to make much money here in a small market. Some of the leads I go on are absolutely worthless. So I spend 4 hours driving, $75 in gas and have no chance to make money.

No cap on commission Good environment

Door too door constant rejection Long hours if you want to do good

Can get a commission if get an appt.

The moment you stop performing you are fired. Huge weekly overturn for sales associates. One minute you have a team the next you're gone. I felt used with no chance for promotion. Lots of manipulation and dangling carrots that fall short of what the job is about. I would not recommend and hugely dissappointed. Customers yell at you and tell you what a terrible product it is. Go elsewhere and save your face.
