Sales team's commission sheet adds up on both paydays

A sales team paid its closers twice a month from a Google Sheet that kept breaking. We rebuilt it so each closer's payout, close rate and no-show rate match on both payout days.

Google Sheet with the 15th payout per closer: calls booked, show and close rates, cash collected and commission.Rebuilt on test data

Before and after

Payday came twice a month, and the numbers did not always add up.

What we built

  • Two payout days. A view for the 15th and one for month end.
  • Old and new pricing. Each deal pays at its own rate.
  • Payment plans. 2, 3 and 5 month plans count in the right month.
  • Stats that match. Close rate and no-show rate agree across the sheet.
  • A dashboard per closer. Ranges grow with the data, so new rows do not break it.

What broke and how we fixed it

What broke

One closer's commission came up a few dollars short. The no-show rate showed two different values on the same sheet.

How we fixed it

We rebuilt the logic so every payout and every rate matches, top to bottom.
