Commission+ automates with 332 carrier feeds, real-time dashboards, override calculations, and missing commission detection recovering 3–5% of production ($45K–$75K annually for a $1.5M agency). ## Key data points - Manual commission reconciliation: 15–20 hours/month. Automated: under 1 hour — while recovering 3–5% of lost commissions. - Agencies with real-time commission dashboards: 25% lower attrition, 40% fewer complaints. For agency owners managing 5–50 agents, commission tracking is the most important and most painful operational task. Manually reconciling statements from 15–25 carrier portals for multiple agents consumes 15–20 hours per month. By the time reconciliation is complete, data is 2–4 weeks old. ## The Manual Problem 1. Download statements from 15–25 portals (30–60 min) 2. Map commissions to agents (2–4 hours) 3. Calculate overrides (1–2 hours) 4. Find discrepancies (2–4 hours) 5. Create agent statements (2–3 hours) 6. Process payments (1–2 hours) 7. Update reports (1–2 hours) **Total: 15–20 hours/month** for 10 agents. 30–40 hours for 30 agents. ### Hidden Costs - Payment delays (agents wait 2–4 weeks) - Trust erosion (agents question accuracy) - Missing revenue (3–5% goes undetected) - Management blind spots (weeks-old data) - Attrition risk (opaque processes drive agents away) ## Automated Commission Dashboards ### Agency Overview (Real-Time) | Metric | Current Month | Trend | | --- | --- | --- | | Total production | $142,800 | ↑ 11.2% | | Active agents | 14/18 | ↑ | | Avg per agent | $10,200 | ↑ 3.3% | | Missing commissions | 7 ($3,200) | ↓ 42.9% | | Override revenue | $18,564 | ↑ 11.2% | Updates in real-time — not at month-end. ### Agent-Level View Per agent: total production by period, commission earned vs paid, production by carrier and product, persistency rate, and missing commission alerts. ### 332 Carrier Feeds Auto-import: commission statements, policy status updates, chargeback notifications, advance reconciliation, hierarchy-based overrides. No downloading, mapping, or spreadsheets. ## Team Management **Identify underperformers early**: Real-time flags for agents below threshold, slowing production, or declining persistency. **Compensation transparency**: Agents see their own real-time dashboards — eliminating "Am I paid correctly?" anxiety. **Missing commission recovery**: 3–5% of commissions recovered automatically. $1.5M agency = $45K–$75K annually. **Production goals**: Real-time progress bars, automated alerts, leaderboards, contest tracking. ## Override Calculation Engine System traces every commission through the hierarchy, applies carrier- and product-specific percentages, calculates dollar amounts at each level — no spreadsheet formulas or manual errors. ## ROI | Task | Manual hrs/mo | Automated | | --- | --- | --- | | Download statements | 1–2 | 0 | | Map to agents | 3–5 | 0 | | Calculate overrides | 2–3 | 0 | | Find discrepancies | 3–5 | 0.5 | | Agent statements | 3–4 | 0 | | Total | 15–22 | 0.5 | Agencies with transparent dashboards: 25% lower attrition, 40% fewer commission complaints. ## FAQ ### How many carriers? 332 feeds across life, annuity, Medicare, health, and supplemental. ### Can agents see only their own data?
