How Commissions Work

Three layers, stacked additively

Every booking you make earns commission from up to three layers, added together — never compounded:

Early Bird and Final Call both count

Commission is earned on sales made during a cohort's Early Bird window or its Final Call window (the last-chance 5-day period before sales close, formerly called "Fire Sale"). It is not earned on bookings made after a cohort has closed to sales entirely.

Final Call pricing is a flat 50% off list price — a smaller discount than Early Bird's 60% off, deliberately, so waiting for Final Call costs a delegate more than committing early. The commission rate structure is identical either way.

Commission is calculated on the actual amount paid

Every rate above applies to the overall booked price — what the delegate actually pays after Early Bird / Final Call timing and any multi-seat discount, never the undiscounted list price.

When you actually get paid: pending → released or void

Layers (a) and (b) are locked in the moment a booking is paid — you'll get an immediate email showing that rate. But nothing is payable yet at that point:

Worked example

You sell 5 Deep Dive delegates to one company during Early Bird (total paid: RM2,625, after the 10% multi-seat discount that applies at 5-9 delegates).

• At the sale: company tier 5% (1-5 delegates), no workshop bonus yet (this is your first sale into the cohort, cumulative 5, below the 6 threshold). Pending commission: RM131.25.
• If the cohort later reaches its minimum (18 delegates): +5% minimum-fill bonus added → 10% total → released commission: RM262.50.
• If the cohort never reaches minimum and isn't merged: void — RM0.

If you go on to sell another 8 delegates into that same cohort later on, that second booking's company tier is 10% (6-9 delegates, based on that booking alone), and because your cumulative count in this cohort is now 13, the workshop-volume bonus kicks in at +6% too — 16% at the time of that sale, 21% once released.

A 30% example — the maximum rate in practice

You sell 8 Deep Dive delegates to one company, then 10 more to a second company, both during Early Bird into the same cohort — that second sale brings your cumulative in this cohort to 18, exactly the minimum it needs. Total paid across the two: RM8,575.

• At that second sale: 15% company tier (10+ delegates, this booking) + 10% workshop bonus (your cumulative just crossed 18) = 25%. Pending commission on that booking: RM1,093.75.
• Once the cohort is confirmed at minimum: +5% minimum-fill bonus → 30%, the maximum possible rate — released commission on that booking: RM1,312.50. The same +5% is also added to your first booking in this cohort, since the bonus applies to every sale you made before the cohort hit minimum.

Sales Manager override

If you're a Sales Manager, you earn an override on every sale closed by any rep on your team — calculated independently of, and never reducing, what that rep earns above. It's paid on the same deal value, on top.

A quarter in practice

A manager with a team of 4 reps — one strong performer working two cohorts a month, three more solid, steady producers — sees their team's combined volume cross 25 delegates partway through the first month, then 40 shortly after. That first month is a blend of tiers as the team ramps up (roughly RM2,100 in override); by month two, the team's quarter-to-date volume is already well past 40, so every sale for the rest of the quarter sits at the full 5% (roughly RM3,100 and RM2,900 in months two and three). Quarter total: around RM8,200. Once a team habitually clears 40 delegates early each quarter, the steady-state figure — nearly the whole quarter at the full 5% — runs closer to RM9,800 a quarter.

Meanwhile that same strong performer on the team, working two concurrently-running cohorts most months (this is exactly what having multiple venues and facilitators running unlocks — never stuck waiting on one cohort's cycle), earns in the region of RM30,000 in their own commission over the same quarter.

These are illustrative, not guaranteed — real earnings depend entirely on real sales. But they're built from the actual rate tables above and real pricing, not rounded-off guesses.

Warm-intro referral bonus

Log a referral at book.woowoo.world/refer when a client's C-suite contact points you toward someone else in their organisation — a department head, for instance. If that named contact's company books within 90 days, you get a flat referral bonus, regardless of which sales code the eventual booking uses.

This is reviewed by hand before payout, not automated — a real person checks the referral genuinely led to the sale before it's paid.

Account ownership on companies you open

The first time you sell to a company, you become that company's Account Owner for 12 months. If that same company later books directly or clears the Sales Code field for a self-credit — no other rep involved — you earn the company tier rate (5/10/15%, based on that later booking's own delegate count) on it, even though you weren't the one who closed that particular sale.

This only ever pays out in the case where otherwise nobody would — a direct or self-credit booking. If a different rep sells to a company you opened, they earn their own commission normally and nothing changes for you; ownership never splits or competes with another rep's sale. It's there to reward staying close to an account and helping it grow, not to protect territory.

Ownership doesn't carry the workshop-volume or minimum-fill bonus layers — it's the company-tier rate alone, on that one later booking.

Same rules for a Booking Contact's own rebate

If a company books directly and clears the Sales Code field for an account credit instead of naming a rep, the credit follows the same company-tier rate plus the same +5% minimum-fill bonus — it just doesn't carry the workshop-volume bonus, since that layer is about a rep's ongoing sales behaviour across bookings, not a single company crediting itself.
