Lux’s compensationpackage included accelerators, which increased the percentage commission a salesperson could earnbased upon quarterly sales.A salesperson could potentially earn 24% commission. Arck’s compensation package included astandard 9% base commission paid after the quota was met. There was also a $50,000 bonus if the$6 million sales cap is reached.
