How rep ROI is calculated

  • Attributed revenue: accounts under management times average revenue per account times the share you credit to the rep.
  • Rep cost: commission on attributed revenue, plus 12 months of draw, samples and collateral, and territory or trade show costs.
  • ROI multiple: attributed revenue divided by rep cost. Net value compares your gross margin on that revenue with the rep cost.
  • New accounts: year 1 revenue, then retained revenue in years 2 and 3 at your retention rate.
Tip

A revenue multiple can look healthy while net value is negative. Check net value at your real gross margin before deciding between a rep and selling direct.
