Clawback Commissions: What SaaS Sales Leaders Must Know ( And How to Minimize Them)

Clawing back commissions is like awarding a trophy—then snatching it away. A deal closes, a rep gets paid, but if the customer cancels, defaults, renegotiates, churns, or commits fraud, revenue drops, commissions are clawed back, and the sales team’s morale takes a hit. While 53% of SaaS companies use clawbacks to recover lost revenue, clawbacks are frustrating for the sales teams. Moreover, frequent clawbacks are a symptom of deeper inefficiencies in the sales processes.

Is Payment Flexibility Hurting Your Business In Ways You Didn’t Know?

In my years working with B2B companies, I’ve seen the push to offer flexible payment terms (like monthly options for SaaS or 60-90-day cycles for enterprise contracts) to close deals faster. While it seems like a win-win—clients appreciate the flexibility, and sales teams close more contracts—without proper management, it can quietly drain resources and disrupt operations.

Five Fintech Solutions That Can Help SaaS Startups Win More Customers

The economic downturn has hit businesses very hard. And economists say there's the threat of a global recession on the horizon. To survive, many companies are being forced to keep a tight lid on their budgets and limit upfront cash payments for tools. So, SaaS vendors are considering adopting financial solutions that help accommodate their customers' financial difficulties.
