What is CCRS and how does it work?
CCRS stands for Customer Care and Revenue Share. It is a program that pays commissions to Verizon agents and retailers who sell Verizon products and services to customers. The commissions are based on three factors:
Customer satisfaction
Customer loyalty
Customer revenue
The idea behind CCRS is that by providing quality customer service and retention, you can increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, and revenue, which in turn benefits Verizon and its customers. For example, satisfied customers are more likely to stay with Verizon, buy more products and services from Verizon, recommend Verizon to others, and give positive feedback about Verizon. This creates a win-win situation for everyone involved.
How to qualify for CCRS commissions?
To qualify for CCRS commissions, you need to meet three requirements:
You need to be a Verizon Wireless agent or retailer with an active contract.
You need to meet certain performance criteria, such as activation rate, churn rate, and customer feedback.
You need to submit your CCRS reports monthly through the Verizon portal.
The performance criteria vary depending on your contract type and market segment. For example, if you are a prepaid agent or retailer, you need to have an activation rate of at least 80%, a churn rate of less than 5%, and a customer satisfaction score of at least 8 out of 10. If you are a postpaid agent or retailer, you need to have an activation rate of at least 90%, a churn rate of less than 2%, and a customer loyalty score of at least 7 out of 10.
The CCRS reports are where you submit your sales data, customer feedback, and other information that affects your commissions. You need to submit them by the 10th day of each month through the Verizon portal. You can access the portal through this link:

How to calculate your CCRS commissions?
CCRS commissions are based on three factors:
Base commission
Bonus commission
Revenue share
The base commission is a fixed amount per activated line or device that you sell. The amount depends on your contract type and market segment. For example, if you are a prepaid agent or retailer selling smartphones, you may get $15 per activated line or device. If you are a postpaid agent or retailer selling tablets, you may get $25 per activated line or device.
The bonus commission is a variable amount based on customer satisfaction and loyalty scores that you receive from your customers. The scores are measured by surveys that Verizon sends to your customers after they activate their lines or devices. The surveys ask them to rate their experience with you on a scale of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the higher the bonus commission. The bonus commission ranges from $0 to $10 per activated line or device.
The revenue share is a percentage of the monthly recurring revenue (MRR) generated by your customers who use Verizon products and services. The MRR includes charges for voice, data, text, features, accessories, insurance, Continuing the article.

If you are a postpaid agent or retailer, you may get 10% of the MRR.
