We pay competitive commission rates for each new DIRECTV subscriber. The pay scale is tiered for each one-week pay period. Thus, production of 1 through 8 activations pays a commission of $100; and 9 or more pays $125 per activation. Under certain circumstances of low churn and high production, bonuses are also paid.
At these rates, a sales person who generates just two new DIRECTV residential accounts each day, five days per week, will earn $1,250 cash each week. This translates into annualized take-home pay of $65,000.
