When I was at HubSpot I was paid my full for 3 months, and then it ramped down for a number of months until I was on my own.
It was a huge motivator to produce and keep earning that check. That said, their capacity model and bank accounts were for now flush than most smaller companies, so they could do that.
I think a month at full, 2 at 80% for the first quarter will give a rep support while also motivating them to earn when the training wheels come off.
