To **calculate sales commission automatically**, the commission has to be part of the deal record rather than a separate month-end exercise. When the deal closes, the commission is already known, already attributed, and already visible to the person who earned it.

## Why commission becomes a monthly argument

Commission disputes are rarely about the percentage. They are about which deals counted and who owned them.

- Deals attributed to the wrong salesperson after the fact
- Commission recalculated by hand in a spreadsheet each month
- No visibility for reps into what they have earned so far
- Lost deals recorded without a reason, so nothing improves

## What the commercial dashboard should show

- **Total sold, total lost, and total in progress**, as headline indicators
- **Commission per salesperson**, alongside proposals made
- **Loss reasons**, so the pattern behind lost deals becomes visible
- **Filter by salesperson**, recalculating every indicator for that person
- **Open opportunities**, listed underneath the indicators

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Capture leads through a public form in **Jestor** — anyone with the link can fill it in, and the entry lands on the opportunity board.
2. Open the card to set the deal title, the client's stated problem, and the product being proposed.
3. Assign the responsible salesperson as the deal moves into the proposal stage.
4. Record the proposed value and the expected closing date.
5. Use the conditional **Kanban** so each phase shows only the fields relevant to that phase.

## Why choose Jestor for commercial management?

**Jestor** makes the whole dashboard filterable by salesperson, so a rep sees their own numbers and a manager sees everyone's, from the same build. Conditional phases keep forms short — nobody fills a loss-reason field on a deal that is still open.

Because the board, the indicators, and the form share the same records, commission figures move as deals move, with no monthly consolidation step.
