How does the rep compensation model work, and does the payout rate affect how many reps work the campaign?

Yes, payout rates directly affect how many reps compete for your campaign. We've built our marketplace so higher commissions attract more representatives, but we actively manage earning ratios so no rep gets stuck on low-potential work.
How Our Payout Model Works
We pay reps on a per-qualified-meeting basis, not per call or email sent. When you book a campaign with us, you set a qualified meeting rate that makes sense for your sales cycle and deal size. A B2B SaaS company might set $75 per qualified meeting, while a bigger enterprise deal might offer $200 or more. The rep only gets paid when they deliver a real prospect who meets your exact criteria and shows up to the call.
Why Higher Payouts Attract More Reps
This is straightforward supply and demand. Our marketplace includes hundreds of experienced SDRs who choose which campaigns to work based on earning potential. A campaign offering $150 per meeting will naturally attract more applications than one offering $50 per meeting. More reps bidding for your campaign means faster outreach, quicker meetings booked, and a larger pool of qualified prospects finding their way to your sales team.
We've found that reps think in terms of time-to-earnings. A campaign might promise $200 per meeting, but if it takes 200 cold calls to land one qualified meeting, the effective hourly rate might be lower than a $75 campaign where one out of 30 calls converts. Smart reps do that math.
How We Keep Earning Potential Even
This is where our system gets intentional. We don't just let high-payout campaigns hog all the talent. Instead, we monitor what we call the "time-to-earning ratio" across every active campaign. A rep working a highly targeted, narrow ICP might land meetings faster on a lower-payout campaign than on a broader, higher-payout one. We surface this data so reps can make strategic choices about where they'll earn the most per hour, not just per meeting.
We also stack campaigns strategically. A rep might work your $100 per meeting campaign alongside a complementary $85 campaign in a similar market, spreading their effort in ways that feel worthwhile. This prevents the scenario where every rep chases one high-payout campaign while others sit understaffed.
What This Means for Your Campaign
When you launch with us, you're not paying more to "buy" every available rep. Instead, you're setting a rate that's competitive within your market and use case. We handle the rest by matching your campaign to reps whose skills and earning potential align. A well-calibrated payout rate typically attracts 8 to 15 qualified representatives depending on your industry and ICP. You get enough concurrent capacity to run a serious outbound program without overpaying.
The beauty of this model is stability. You're not negotiating commission rates rep by rep or wondering why your campaign can't find talent. You set a fair rate, we attract the right people, and those reps stay consistently engaged because the time-to-earning math actually works.
The exact rate depends on your use case, so we recommend running the numbers together on a quick call. We can show you comparable campaigns in your space and help you land on a rate that gets serious attention without leaving budget on the table.
