Adding tiered or revert deals to a contract

How do I put a tiered or revert deal on my contract?

Written by Antonio Sierra

Gigwell's deal fields hold one percentage, so a multi-tier overage structure — a revert deal, a sliding scale — doesn't have a merge field that can express it. There's a straightforward way to handle it that keeps the numbers right and puts the full structure in front of the buyer.


​

Enter the deal and write out the tiers

  1. On the booking, enter the deal using one tier — the first or the last. Promoters usually quote from one of those, so whichever matches their offer sheet is the one to use. That keeps your figures lined up with theirs.

  2. Write the full tier breakdown into Additional Terms on the booking. Spell out each tier — the threshold and the percentage that applies above it — in plain language.

  3. Generate the contract. Additional Terms flows onto the document, so the buyer sees the complete structure alongside the headline number.

  4. Alternatively, you can type the breakdown directly onto the contract draft in Document Preview before issuing, if you'd rather keep it off the booking record.

After the show

Once the show has settled and you know which tier the deal actually landed in, adjust the percentage on the booking to the real figure. The settlement then reflects what was genuinely earned rather than the placeholder tier you entered up front.

Good to know

  • Additional Terms is the right home for anything the structured deal fields can't express — tiers, bonuses, conditional adjustments, unusual splits. It's free text, and it renders on the contract.

  • If you use the same tier structure repeatedly, save the wording as a preset at Settings > Presets > Logistics Phrases so you can pull it in with Load Terms rather than retyping it each time.

  • Reporting follows the percentage saved on the booking, not the text in Additional Terms. That's the reason it's worth going back and setting the real number after settlement.

  • Pick one convention — always first tier, or always last — and stick to it across your agency, so nobody has to guess which number a booking is showing.
