# A short extra payout on a SKU or a window

A sales spiff is a short extra payout on a SKU or a window. Knockdesk is field sales software, and sales spiff meaning is that burst, not the residual you pay all year.

## A sales spiff that never ends is just a raise

You feel it when last month's burst is still in the sheet and nobody can say when it closed. Sales spiff meaning includes an end. The $25 in the example pays on 6 confirmed units inside 14 days. Unit 7 after the window is $80, not $105. A chat that says keep the bonus is how Friday breaks.

**The SKU.** Name the offer. A sales spiff on everything is a new plan, not a burst.

**The dates.** 14 days in the example. Confirmation has to fall inside that window.

**The visit.** The knock still has to hit the pin. Extra pay on a sale you cannot find is not a spiff.

## A burst is not a contest and not a residual

A sales spiff is extra pay. A sales contest is a rank on a metric. The commission guide is where the confirmation rate lives.

- [Sales contest](/glossary/sales-contest): A scored game. The prize is not the same as a sales spiff.

- [Sales commission](/guides/sales-commission): The rate at confirmation. A missing rate stays empty.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Knockdesk does not ship a separate SPIFF object. A short extra payout can be a vendor rate whose window covers those days. Confirmation uses the rate you already saved. The product never invents a rate. Full desk is on the pricing page.
