💼 OBAOL Commission Structure
A transparent reward system designed to encourage supplier activation, trade execution, and long-term relationship building.
All commissions are distributed from a fixed profit-sharing pool.
🔹 1. Commission Pool
At OBAOL, every completed trade generates a commission pool equal to 30% of the company’s net profit.
This pool is then distributed among contributors involved in the trade.
⚠️ Important:
Commission is calculated only after the trade is fully executed and profit is confirmed.
🔹 2. Commission Release Conditions
Commissions are paid only when all conditions are satisfied:
- Product has been loaded or dispatched
- Payment is verified
- Trade profit is finalized
The following do not trigger commission payouts:
- Purchase Orders (POs)
- Inquiries
- Negotiations
- Partial transactions
🔹 3. Commission Pool Distribution
The 30% commission pool is distributed as follows:
| Category | Share of Pool | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Deal Closer | 40% | Person who successfully finalizes the trade |
| Supplier Portfolio Owner | 30% | Employee responsible for managing the supplier who executed the trade |
| Leadership Layers | 30% | Mentorship and leadership reward system |
Total allocation always equals 100% of the commission pool.
🔹 4. Supplier Portfolio Ownership
Each employee is assigned a group of supplier associates on the platform.
Their responsibilities include:
- Onboarding suppliers
- Activating supplier companies on the platform
- Listing supplier products
- Maintaining supplier relationships
- Ensuring supplier responsiveness to enquiries
- Encouraging active trading participation
If any trade happens involving a supplier under their portfolio, the employee receives the Supplier Portfolio Owner share of the commission pool.
Example
Employee portfolio:
If any trade happens involving these 50 products, the portfolio owner receives their commission share.
🔹 5. Deal Closer
The Deal Closer is the person who successfully converts an inquiry into a finalized trade.
The closer receives 40% of the commission pool.
A Deal Closer may be:
- A supplier portfolio owner
- Another employee managing the buyer side
- A team member facilitating negotiation
Important Rule
If the Supplier Portfolio Owner also closes the deal, they receive:
This rewards both relationship ownership and execution capability.
🔹 6. Leadership Layer Rewards
OBAOL rewards mentorship and leadership through a layer-based incentive system.
These rewards are distributed from the 30% Leadership Layer portion of the commission pool.
Layer Distribution
| Layer | Share of Commission Pool | Description |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | 12% | Direct mentor or reporting manager |
| L2 | 8% | Senior mentor or team leader |
| L3+ | 10% (shared) | Extended leadership layers |
L3+ Distribution Rule
The 10% allocated for L3+ layers is shared among all additional leadership layers beyond L2.
The distribution works as follows:
- The total 10% is divided equally among all active layers beyond L2
- Each layer receives an equal share
- Maximum per layer is capped at 5%
Examples
Example 1 — Only L3 Exists
| Layer | Share |
|---|---|
| L3 | 5% |
The remaining percentage stays within the leadership pool.
Example 2 — L3 and L4 Exist
| Layer | Share |
|---|---|
| L3 | 5% |
| L4 | 5% |
10% divided equally.
Example 3 — L3, L4, L5, L6 Exist
| Layer | Share |
|---|---|
| L3 | 2.5% |
| L4 | 2.5% |
| L5 | 2.5% |
| L6 | 2.5% |
10% divided equally across all layers.
Key Rule
The total leadership allocation always remains 30% of the commission pool, distributed as:
- L1 → 12%
- L2 → 8%
- L3+ → 10% (shared among extended layers)
This structure rewards mentorship, leadership growth, and team development while maintaining fairness in distribution.
Leadership Eligibility Rule
Leadership layer rewards are calculated based on the Supplier Portfolio Owner's hierarchy, not the Deal Closer's hierarchy.
This means leadership benefits follow the ownership chain of the supplier who executed the trade.
Example Scenario
Assume the following situation:
- Employee A closes the deal with a buyer.
- The supplier involved in the trade is managed by Employee B.
- Employee C is the mentor of B.
In this case:
| Role | Outcome |
|---|---|
| A (Deal Closer) | Receives the Deal Closer share |
| B (Supplier Portfolio Owner) | Receives the Supplier Portfolio share |
| C (Mentor of B) | Receives the Leadership Layer reward |
However:
If A has a mentor named D, D does not receive leadership rewards, because the leadership structure is calculated based on the supplier ownership chain, not the deal closer.
Key Principle
Leadership rewards always follow the supplier ownership hierarchy.
This ensures leadership incentives support:
- Supplier onboarding
- Supplier relationship development
- Long-term supplier portfolio growth
rather than individual deal activity.
🔹 7. Example Commission Calculation
Example trade:
Distribution:
| Category | Share | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Deal Closer | 40% | ₹12,000 |
| Supplier Portfolio Owner | 30% | ₹9,000 |
| Leadership Layers | 30% | ₹9,000 |
Total distributed: ₹30,000
🔹 8. Philosophy
OBAOL's commission system is built on three core principles:
Execution
Reward those who successfully close trades.
Ownership
Encourage employees to build strong supplier portfolios.
Leadership
Recognize mentors who support team growth.
Every successful trade represents the combined effort of relationships, execution, and leadership.
🔹 9. Key Principles
| Principle | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Fixed Profit Pool | Commission always comes from 30% of net profit |
| Execution First | Deal closers receive the largest share |
| Supplier Ownership | Employees benefit from activating suppliers |
| Leadership Incentives | Mentors are rewarded for guidance |
| Trade-Based Rewards | Only completed trades trigger payouts |
🔹 10. Long-Term Vision
The commission structure encourages employees to treat suppliers as long-term business assets.
The more suppliers they activate and maintain, the more trading activity they generate — creating sustained value for both the platform and the team.
