Sample math
House sales: $100,000,000
House accounts (owner/purchasing): 20% = $20,000,000 — stay with ownership; not in the SalesBench fee base
Street book: 80% = $80,000,000
Outside DSRs: 18
Inside CSRs: 5
Dollar trail
- Fully loaded cost — the half of DSRs who go $140,000 × 9 = $1,260,000
- Fully loaded cost — inside CSRs (example all-in inside cost) $70,000 × 5 = $350,000
- Total loaded cost coming off $1,610,000
- SalesBench fee $472,000 ~0.59% of the $80M street book it covers — house accounts excluded
- Desk dollars freed before ace pool $1,610,000 − $472,000 = $1,138,000 ~1.4% of covered street sales ($80M)
- Ace pool — two-thirds of CSR/inside savings only ⅔ of $350,000 = $233,000 Performance pool for the remaining aces — paid out for real gains in item mix, GP$ per delivery, gross margin, and new accounts. Aim: the whole pool pays out for a job well done, so your DSRs are the highest paid among competing distributors.
- Net to house if ace pool pays out in full $1,138,000 − $233,000 = $905,000 ~1.1% of covered street sales ($80M) — house bottom-line save on the book SalesBench covers
- After-tax profit line Demo House trailing twelve-month net income on $100M sales: $895,000. Net to the house of ~$905,000 more than doubles that line — 2× after-tax profit on this math.* * Independents often net ~1–2% of sales after tax.
