Advanced: Compensation Tips for Management Personnel
 
  • Don't pay your managers so poorly that they have to sell. A manager's role is motivating and mentoring the sales staff, putting them in competition with each other is a lose-lose situation.
  • Do pay managers a bonus or percentage of commission to provide incentives for increasing productivity.
  • Do link incentives to more than just sales volumes; set bonuses based on the overall profitability of the brokerage so that managers will not neglect the important job of controlling expenses.
  • Do be sure that your salary and benefits—health, pension, etc.—are on parity with your competitors.
  • Don't pay all the managers the same. A manager charged with opening a new office requires a different compensation structure from one operating an established, stable one.

TIP: Remember that managers are exempt employees for tax purposes. As with support staff, the brokerage company is responsible for income tax withholding , FICA, and unemployment taxes.
