Commission Problems
Cost More Than You Think.
A top closer doesn't leave because the job is hard. They leave because they can't trust the number on payday. When commissions live in a spreadsheet no one else can see, every paycheck is an argument waiting to happen. And the best reps — the ones with options — stop waiting.
Commission Disputes
Calculations aren't transparent. "Profit" means something different to the owner than it does to the rep. Arguments follow every paycheck. The best reps keep score.
Reps Flying Blind
No running total. No deal status. No visibility until the check is cut — and by then it's too late to push harder, course-correct, or question anything.
Admin Eating Your Day
Manual spreadsheets, monthly reconciliation, chasing down numbers. One roofing company was spending 8 hours every pay period on commission calculations alone. Tierly Pro cut that to 30 minutes.
Losing Your Best Reps
Top closers don't always leave for more money. They leave because they can't trust the process. When reps can't see their own numbers, they assume the worst. That's a retention problem disguised as a pay problem.
Excel Hell
No data integrity. No analytics. One wrong formula and a month of payroll is wrong. Spreadsheets were not built for this and everyone in the building knows it.

Built to Match
Your Process. Not Ours.
We don't hand you software and a manual. We configure it to match how your company pays its people — then train your team to run it.
-
We Configure Your Commission Logic
During your 30-day setup, we build your commission structure from scratch — your fields, your math, your approval process. We cover the five most common roofing pay structures, then configure until it matches exactly how your company operates.
-
Reps Submit Deals Through the Portal
Every rep gets a mobile-ready portal. Submit deals, see commission status immediately — Week-to-Date, Month-to-Date, Year-to-Date. Always current. Always on their phone.
-
Managers Approve. Everything Is Logged.
Approvals flow through built-in workflows. Every dispute gets a full audit trail — who said what, when, and how it was resolved. "I thought we agreed" stops being a conversation.
-
Everyone Sees Exactly What They Should
Role-based access means reps see their data, managers see their team, admins see everything. Clean. Simple. Nothing bleeds over.
- Rep dashboards — every rep sees what they've earned, week-to-date, month-to-date, and year-to-date. No more asking.
- Manager dashboards — your team's numbers in one screen. Approve payouts without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
- Commission dispute log — every disagreement documented with who said what and when. 'I thought we agreed' stops being a conversation.
- Approval workflows — built to match how you actually run payroll, not how a software template assumes you do.
- Role-based access — reps see their data, managers see their team, admins see everything. Nothing bleeds over.
- Mobile-ready portal — reps check their commission status from the job site, not the office.
- Up to 250 users, one flat price — hire ten more reps and your bill doesn't change.
Most clients are live within 30 days of providing their commission structure and employee records. Simple structures go live faster. Complex ones take longer — we'll tell you upfront if yours is one of them. When you have a question, you're talking to someone who built the platform.
Five Starting Points.
One Finished Product — Yours.
These are five common pay structures that serve as a starting point. Yours doesn't match exactly? We can probably handle that too.
% of Gross Contract
Simple on paper. Disputes happen the second collected amount differs from what was sold. Tierly shows both — signed contract, amount collected, commission owed. No argument, no Friday afternoon call.
Profit Split with Overhead Deduction
Every dollar deducted for overhead is a conversation waiting to happen. Reps don't know the rate. Costs run over. Numbers get quietly adjusted. Tierly locks the formula before the job starts and shows every deduction in real time.
% of Profit (Margin-Based)
Rep sells a $15k roof. Costs come in high. Commission shrinks. Nobody told them. That's the dispute. Tierly shows estimated commission before the sale closes — and the final number the moment costs are entered. No surprises.
Tiered Volume Commission
Cross a tier mid-month and every previous sale gets recalculated. That's not one number — that's the whole month. Spreadsheets fail here every time. Tierly recalculates automatically, retroactively, the second a tier is crossed.
Base Salary + Commission
Quota isn't hit. Is the bonus owed? What counts — signed, collected, or installed? These questions kill trust fast. Tierly tracks every benchmark in real time so the answer is never "let me check the sheet."

Running Commissions
in a Spreadsheet?
Know a roofing company running commissions in a spreadsheet? Make the introduction. Two tiers. No ceiling. Documented in writing before any names are exchanged.
$2,500 per signed referral. Paid when your referral signs their contract. Not when they go live. When they sign.
Uncapped. Refer one company or ten. Every signed referral pays the same $2,500. No ceiling, no fine print that changes it.
Zero friction. Just make the introduction. We handle everything else. Documented in writing before any names are exchanged.
What It Costs to Solve This Any Other Way
Built for Roofing. Ready for the Rest of the Field.
Tierly Pro was built for roofing — but commission chaos isn't unique to roofing. If your company runs field sales in solar, HVAC, pest control, home security, or gutters and windows, the problem is identical and so is the solution. Same spreadsheet headaches. Same rep trust issues. Same Friday afternoon math. If your reps sell door to door and get paid on commission, we should talk.

What They've Earned.
You already know what it costs to lose a closer. You already know how long your manager spends on commission math every pay period. At $1,200 a month, Tierly Pro isn't a line item — it's the system that protects your best people and gives you your time back. Most clients are live within 30 days of providing their commission structure and employee records. Simple structures go live faster. Complex ones take longer — we'll tell you upfront if yours is one of them.
