Commission Distribution SOP

Pathway 1 of 6 | Priority #1 — Joe's Financial Framework | April 12, 2026

Complete Process Map: Deal Close to Commission Distribution

This is the end-to-end workflow. Verify each step is in the correct sequence.

1
Deal Closes at Title Company

Title company funds commission to KW Memorial. TC/Transactly processes CDA (Commission Disbursement Authorization). Invoice # assigned.

Title Co → Keller Williams Memorial
2
KW Split Calculation

Gross Commission (3% of sale price) + $495 Archive Compliance fee - $65 Memorial Realty - $55 E&O Insurance - $10 KW Nonprofit. JRD is CAPPED at $18K + royalty — associate royalty OFF, company split (30%) OFF.

Net to DG = Commission - $130 fees (when capped)
3
Outside ReferrAL Check

If inbound referrAL percentage < 1.0, deduct referrAL amount from gross. Example: Diener/1609 Tabor = 25% inbound = -$3,900 outside referrAL. Net after referrAL = Agent Gross Commission.

4
Agent vs. Lead Determination

If Team Agent (DLO, SMT, GAV, EDE): Agent gets 70% of TPJ Income, DG retains 30%. Agent quarter cap: $4,500.
If Lead (JRD or KLJ): Full TPJ Income flows to Profit First split. JRD/KLJ annual cap: $18,000 + royalty.

Cross-Analysis Results (3 Loops)

Loop 1 — Sequence Logic Gaps

  • Steps 2-3 (KW split + referrAL check) run sequentially but COULD run in parallel if referrAL status is known at contract signing
  • No formal handoff trigger between Step 7 (record) and Step 8 (payroll) — relies on manual review
  • Transaction Board uses static $300K template row for commission calc; actual deal prices differ, creating mismatch risk in bottom-section formulas

Loop 2 — Data Source Verification Gaps

  • 3 separate spreadsheets (Transaction Board + Spending Plan + LOC Tracker) with NO live sync — manual reconciliation risk
  • Q3 2025 tax payment came from COMP account (X2958), NOT from TAXES account (X6094) — PF discipline break
  • QBO not live-connected — only category codes mapped, no API pull
  • Payroll sheet shows total historical ($180K) but not per-agent breakdown

Loop 3 — Corrections Applied

  • FIX 1: Added Step 8 (Agent Payroll) as explicit step — was previously implicit between Steps 5 and 7
  • FIX 2: Clarified cap tracking per agent type (quarter cap $4,500 for agents vs annual cap $18K for leads)
  • FIX 3: Added explicit account routing for team pay: DG TEAM SAV → TPJ Payroll → Agent
  • FIX 4: ReferrAL check (Step 3) now shows correct TPJG vocabulary (ReferrAL with capital A)
  • AUTOMATION TARGET: Steps 5-8 can be automated: commission triggers PF split + QBO entry + Transaction Board update + Paychex payroll run
