Dealer commission structure
Your dmClub dealership isn't an affiliate scheme. Affiliate schemes typically pay a flat percentage commission to members based on the number of successful sales leads referred by an affiliate.
At dmClub, we don't just pay you for referrals - we give you the opportunity to 'white label' our products and sell under your own brand. dmClub dealerships also offer the opportunity to be as part-time or dedicated as you want - and success is rewarded with a greater share of the profits.
But this partnership-led approach needs a slightly more sophisticated commission scheme than simply a flat percentage of sales. So our approach is to share the profits of dmClub with our dealer network. The available profit is called ValueAdd, and the proportion of ValueAdd you pocket as a dealer increases depending on your success.
What is ValueAdd?
ValueAdd is the difference between the price of the sale to the customer and the estimated cost of that product to dmClub. It's calculated this way because some products/services are more expensive to deliver than others, and therefore the margin varies across products. Dealers' commission is calculated as a percentage of that margin.
How do I find out the ValueAdd on different products?
If you want to check the ValueAdd on a particular inbound number/service combination, here's how to do it:
1) Log in to dmAdmin
2) Click on 'Tariff Guide' on the left-hand menu
You'll see a drop-down menu giving options for range, service and plan.
3) In the drop-down menu, enter the range, service and plan combination you want to check
4) To the right of the drop-down menu, you'll see three buttons giving different tariff options.
Click ‘Value Add Rates'
5) You'll see the information you need on-screen.
How is success rewarded?
It's free to sign up as a dmClub dealer. But if you find you're doing well, you can increase the percentage of ValueAdd you earn on every sale by upgrading your dealership account. There are three levels of dealer, each with its own commission structure, and each level is designed for a different level of commitment.
