Let commissions drive profitable growth and boost performance
Meet James, our fictional Owner based on what we know of other Owners. James heads up a $50M dealership in Florida set on being featured in Dealer Magazine as the fastest growing group in the state.
James' biggest challenge is retention. It's the constant force working against his one goal: growing the group with more rooftops. He wants a clear understanding of the dealership’s financial health, especially how sales commissions impact profitability.
James didn't understand the cost of his commission process and how that works against his profit. Then he found Nimble Compensation. Let's take a look at his transformation.

Have Questions?
These are some of the most common questions we get.
Great question!
A commission management platform helps businesses manage and track commissions.
It is important to note that a commission management platform does not replace your payroll provider. It sits between your DMS and Payroll provider to provide accurate commission and earning information for your payroll system to process.
While there are a few commission management platforms out there, Nimble Compensation is different. We are the only commission management platform built for dealerships. We only work with dealerships, which means we live and breathe in your world every day.
This matters to you for a few reasons:
- We are built to work with every department in a dealership. Other commission management platforms are made for sales departments, which is different from the reality of a dealership. We know and understand nearly every employee in a dealership is on some flavor of a commission plan.
- We work and integrate with the tools you use every day. This includes your Dealer Management System.
- We don't need to tell you this, but the dealership world differs from other industries. Start throwing out terms like retro, front gross, back gross, and most companies ' heads are spinning. That is our every day.
We encourage you to check out our full article for a more in-depth explanation.
Great question! Our pricing is based on a monthly fee billed per rooftop. Our monthly fees vary depending on the number of employees under each rooftop. We do offer volume discounts for dealerships.
In addition to the monthly charge, we charge a one-time setup fee. As part of this setup fee, Nimble's implementation team will come to your dealership and work with your team on the initial setup. This setup fee is fully refundable if your dealership cancels within 90 days of the setup, but we are confident you will think that setup fee was the best money you ever spent when you see how much time and money you are saving with Nimble Compensation.
We don't believe in locking you into a long-term contract, so we have a month-to-month agreement that allows you to cancel at any time.

While every dealership is different, on average, our dealership customers see an 80% reduction in process time.
To put this into real terms, if your commission process currently takes 10 hours every month, after implementing Nimble Compensation, we expect it would take roughly 2 hours to complete. That is 8 hours you get back during your busiest time of the month, month-end close! Imagine what your life would look like.
We regularly hear from our clients that they now get to eat dinner with their family during close or don't have to come into the dealership on Sundays because of the time-savings Nimble Compensation gave them.
We want this to be you, but we also have been doing this long enough that it is hard to believe this could be your story. We encourage you to Book A Demo so we can setup a custom demo and show you how different your life could be.
The short answer is yes!
Over years of working with dealerships across the country, if there is anything we have learned, every dealership is different.
With this in mind, we have built Nimble Compensation to accommodate any pay plan or bonus structure your dealership can dream of. We have seen standard things like split deals, minis, volume bonuses, retro, and penetration commissions, to name a few. But we also have some pretty wild things. Anything related to commissions in California would count.
We customize our platform to your existing process and pay plans. If you want to learn more, check out our article about 100% Customizable.
No, we believe you should never feel stuck in a long-term contract, so we don't have them. We are confident once you start using us, you won't want to cancel. But just in case, all our subscriptions are month-to-month, so you can cancel anytime without paying a cancellation fee.
Pretty novel idea, don't you think?
