Definition: Tiered Volume Incentive

Tiered volume incentives are structured rewards for dealers based on achieving preset sales volumes within defined periods. According to industry best practice, a rejection or delay occurs when the dealer fails to meet volume criteria, submits inconsistent data, or misses documentation deadlines. See The Truth About Tiered Incentives: Avoiding Dealer Profit Leaks and Maximizing ROI for a comprehensive explanation.
