    Curious what sales people get on average at sportsbooks?

    I've done my share of $100-200 deposits for 100% freeplays and have had probably 15 calls this year. 7red, alliance,abcsportsbook, BI,youwager,etc.

    If I deposit a measly $100, what does the telemarketer get?(providing I'm the rare loser that doesn't knock out the 12 times RO and take them for a 5K profit))

    They might get a buck or two thrown onto their $5.00-6.00 wage...in an eight hour day during football season they might open four or five little accounts and one dime account and it comes out to $8.00 or $9.00 an hour--which is good for that labor market.

    Sales compensation.... in the gaming service industry. The average sportsbook salesman in Costa Rica gets a salary per month of between $800 and $1200 based on a 6 day weekly schedule 8 to 10 hours a day as well as a percentage of all incoming deposits they closed. The percenatges are usually based on a number of criteria including if the account is an existing one or a brand new signup. This type of account deposit is given the highest commision, the other kind is an older account that has been inactive for 90 days or longer... a salesman can get as much as %3 to 7% on average depending on service they work for and length of employment with service. Reloads are generally 1% to 3% of the deposit and can be received by closing the deposit or because the salesman has met the criteria to have the account assigned to him... so even if the player makes a deposit through CSD he will still get the reload commision. These jobs with lower sales positions are also generally seasonal, they all get let go, fired, by January/February... or if your numbers are bad you wont last 30 to 60 days... Super Salesmen/Agents command very good salaries anywhere from $2k to $5k and generally call their own shots and work a semi open schedule, they are held to a standard based more on results and get paid accordingly which can be quite significant especially if they have single handedly built a sheet of 100 or more players with a good overall hold percent, good is -5 or better... acceptable -2 to -4 and any sheet that goes + is bad... the last and most rare salesman is basically an agent with a large customer base and has a revenue split deal... could get as much as 30% to 50% of the sheets net... note that I said sheet and not book. They will only earn off of their customers not the houses as a whole. Also, Sales managers get a higher salary and usually a few points on the houses post up operation, with the main stipulation being that the house sheet has consistently had a good hold percentage. This is a main factor in the manager keeping an eye on who gts how much bonus if any at all, one if not a couple hot players and great runs can skew a sheets average hold percentage really fast with big action, especially if it is a smaller shop.
