RevOps and finance leaders often face a big question concerning sales commissions: when to pay commissions. It’s a tricky subject as it involves human emotions and reactions, and any mistake can negatively impact sales performance.


A vital decision around sales compensation is to decide when commissions should be paid. Should they be paid when a deal is closed or when an invoice is raised or when an invoice is paid?
