HI.

So lets your an independent sales agent  and the Value of a deal your about to close is USD 1000 and the commission your about to earn from this is USD 200. How can you put this information in pipedrive?

Thank you.

    We found a very suitable way for a customer. So suitable that we are using it ourselves now :-) 

    We created a "commission" pipeline where we duplicate the deals. Stages like expected, signed, invoiced, paid by the customer. But the deal value is the commission. And then you add a expected close day for date you are expecting the pay out. If you don't want to add the deal = commission manually you can use integromat  for example. This will calculate even the commission if it is a certain percentage. Makes this pain in the a... "commission controlling" much easier.
