Commissions & Goals

How SchoolsPLP pays salespeople, resellers, and management — quarter splits, goal-gated accelerators, retro top-ups, and the reseller payout models.

Quarterly + Annual Gates

applies to all Goal-Based plans

Quarter gate

Cross a quarter's goal → the accelerator kicks in for the rest of that quarter, and every prior base-rate deal in the same quarter retro-tops-up. Doesn't carry into the next quarter.

Year gate

Cross the annual goal → every base-rate deal across the whole year retro-bumps to the accelerator, even quarters that never hit their own goal. Counters reset January 1.

Quarter weighting follows the school-year cadence: Q1 13% · Q2 37% · Q3 37% · Q4 13% of annual.

Plan Applies To

SchoolsPLP products, eDynamic, eDynamic Premium, Pointful, and BYU (ACT Prep & AP Courses).

Plan Type

Volume-Based for resellers (New Business)

Goal-Based for internal sales (Backbone, SchoolsPLP)

How It Works

Volume-Based: commission rate steps up as cumulative annual new-business volume crosses each threshold.

Goal-Based: sales commission depends on goal attainment — Unmet Goal pays the base rate, Met Goal pays the accelerator.

Renewals: fixed renewal rate as shown on each card.
