Abstract:	As a member of the heterogeneous salesforce, every salesperson’s demand and sales are both various. A payment may not be satisfactory for all salesmen. Therefore, this paper deals with the problem how a firm designs a compensation plan in order to meet every salesperson’s demand. We set up a mathematical model, according to the interaction of the distribution of different salesmen, their demand, and a firm’s profits. The model is solved with the optimal control theory and the optimal compensation for heterogeneous salesforce can thus be found. Moreover, we obtain several interesting characteristics from the optimal solution.
