Terrecom uses a sliding-scale commission structure — the bigger the contract, the less you pay. Founding Suppliers pay zero commissions for 12 months from their first completed sale.
Industry competitors charge 5–10% flat. Terrecom's sliding scale means you keep more on every deal — and even more as your deal sizes grow.
| Deal Size | Commission Rate | What You Keep on a Deal |
|---|---|---|
| $1 – $50,000 | 3.5% | $48,250 of a $50K deal |
| $50,001 – $250,000 | 3.0% | $242,500 of a $250K deal |
| $250,001 – $500,000 | 2.5% | $487,500 of a $500K deal |
| $500,001 – $1,000,000 | 2.0% | $980,000 of a $1M deal |
| $1,000,001 – $2,000,000 | 1.5% | $1,970,000 of a $2M deal |
| Over $2,000,000 | 1.0% | Lowest rate, biggest deals |
* Rates are applied to each deal's contract value at close. Commissions are automatically collected via the platform — no invoicing, no chasing. Founding Suppliers pay $0 commissions for 12 months from first completed sale.
Most procurement directories and platforms charge flat rates regardless of deal size. Terrecom rewards volume.

No surprises. No hidden fees. Here's exactly what happens.
When a deal closes on Terrecom, commissions are automatically calculated and collected through the platform. No invoicing, no chasing, no back-office headaches. You close the deal; we handle the rest.
For Founding Suppliers, the 12-month commission-free window starts from the date of your first completed sale — not your registration date. You could register today and close your first deal in six months. The clock doesn't start until that deal closes.
A sale is completed when both parties confirm the deal is closed and funds have been processed through the platform. Pending or partially-closed deals don't start the clock. Your supplier dashboard shows your current commission status at all times.
Standard Suppliers (those who join after Founding spots fill, or at the $99.95/year rate) pay commissions from Day 1 of their first sale. The same tiered schedule applies — 3.5% on the first $50K, lower as deals grow.
Buyers register once and get lifetime access — no registration fee, no commission, no subscription, ever. Terrecom's business model runs entirely on supplier commissions. Buyers have zero reason not to post RFQs.
Optional premium services (enhanced analytics, market intelligence tools, and more) are available separately — they are not included in the free tier.
Every supplier gets a real-time commission dashboard showing: current promo status, time remaining on commission-free period, commission preview for open deals, and historical commission payments.
Lock in your spot before all 1,000 are claimed. Pay once, listed forever, commission-free for your entire first year of selling.
