... . Revenue budgeting is basically the same process as operating expenses. Income outside of commissions is non-operating income (i.e. bank interest and contingency) . If monthly income in this category has a relationship to operating income (i.e. interest can be defined as a percentage of total income in an annual view), it can be projected the same way as we recommend the projection of expenses. If historical non-operating income is unique or has no relationship to commissions, you must use your best guess regarding the repetition, growth, or diminution of those income lines monthly and annually in the next year. Contingency, by the way, does have a relationship to commissions — but not in the same year. The contingency percentage to determine trending is the relationship between contingencies paid this year and P/ ... retention will be 110% . The other component to agency commission income in the budget is new business projection. Although many agents squirm like a worm on a fishing pole when asked to project their new business for the year, it's often not a difficult exercise. First, look at the new business generated over the past three years. Rationalize unusual writings (i.e. the one ‘Home Run' account written a few years ago) . Look at the trends and project the new business to be written in the next year based on the trends and the human environment in the agency (do you have more or fewer producers this year? Are all the producers working for a living this year?) Spreading the retention income over the 12-month period is easy. Identify the total ...

... 210,000 instead of $200,000 it's unlikely that the agency would require substantial additional expense. Strong growth should also be beneficial to producers by rewarding them geometrically. We recommend that you measure growth in one year and increase growth expectation by 10% for the next year. The producer who exceeds that expectation should enjoy an additional 10% bonus for growth beyond the target. The producer's historical growth is the basis of future growth. In our examples, if Bob's prior-year growth took him from $125,000 to $150,000, his target for this year would be $25,000 growth plus 10% — $27,500. Since he grew by $50,000, he would achieve a second-level bonus (at the end of the year) of ... Recent All Back Growth-Loaded Producer Compensation 4/30/2013 12:00:00 AM by Al Diamond , CompleteMarkets Editor This content has not been rated yet. Use this plan to give your producers an incentive to target growth, while protecting the agency from financial losses. Everyone is motivated by money to some extent. For some people, money is the source of security, providing funding for home, food, and the necessities of life. For sales people, money is also a way to get things. Things form a sort of scorecard by which many salespeople measure success. The more money they make, the more things they can have. This is not meant as a value judgement. It's just a fact: Money motivates salespeople more than people in other types of careers. ...
