# The percent BLS does not publish

BLS does not publish a door to door sales commission rate, and it does not publish a commission percentage at all. The average door to door sales commission is not stated publicly. What BLS 2025 does publish, through O*NET, is the United States wage for SOC 41-9091, not a percent. Knockdesk is field sales software: vendor rate at confirmation, then the org default, and an empty amount when neither exists.

## Commission only is a design you write

You feel it on Friday when the crew asks for the national percent and the vendor file is blank. Door to door sales commission only is a pay design the organization writes, not a BLS rate. Commission based door to door sales is the same kind of design: the org names the rate, and Knockdesk never invents one. The only math on this page is if you write a rate on the vendor file: the confirmed sale pays ____. That number is not a national average. A residual is paid only if a saved rate already exists.

**Vendor rate.** Confirmation uses the vendor rate whose window contains that moment.

**Org default.** Used only when that vendor has no rate at confirmation.

**Empty amount.** If neither exists, the amount stays empty. The product never invents a rate.

## Pest commission is not a published percent

A door to door pest control sales commission is not stated publicly, the same way the broader percent is not stated publicly. This page does not borrow pest-control worker wages to fill that blank. The dollars in the wage table are SOC 41-9091, and that occupation includes news and street vendors, not only canvassing crews, so they are not a pest-only commission.

1. Read $19.89 hourly and $41,380 annual as occupation wages, not as a percent.
2. Read employment of 50,900 as the size of that occupation, including news and street vendors.
3. Read every commission percent cell as not stated publicly, including pest.
4. Save a vendor rate or an org default if the organization uses one. Otherwise the amount stays empty.
