Finance FAQ’s
A commission clawback occurs when you have already paid out a rep’s commission for a deal that is no longer valid to earn commissions. This results in a rep’s paycheck being reduced by the originally paid out commission.
Any company that offers a deliverable, such as a good or service, is technically subject to ASC 606 guidelines. These principles were created by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The goal is to make it easier to compare revenue from organization to organization and even industry to industry. In other words, it’s all about simplicity and consistency.
Generally commissions are either paid out when a deal is signed or when a customer or client pays. If cash flow is a concern, you may want to pay out when the client pays, but sales reps like to get paid as quickly as possible. So, if you’re trying to keep reps happy, you may want to pay when the deal is signed.
Revenue forecasting is vital for leaders strategizing and planning out their growth models. It allows you to uncover the why, where, when, and how of sales performance and use that information to shape future management decisions.
Analysts typically adopt one of four ways to forecast revenue. Two approaches feed from historical data (straight line, moving average), and the other two from observed situations (simple linear regression and multiple linear regression). The simplest to set up and understand is the straight-line method. In the straight-line method, you’ll use historical figures and trends to predict future revenue growth.
