A spiff is a small, immediate bonus for a sale. Typically, "spiffs" are
paid, either by a manufacturer or employer, directly to a salesperson for
selling a specific product.
There is a reference to a spiff in a slang dictionary of 1859: "The
percentage allowed by drapers to their young men when they effect sale of
old fashioned or undesirable stock." It seems to be connected with the use
of the word in that period to mean a dandy or somebody smartly dressed
(hence spiffy, and to spiff up - to improve the appearance of a place or a
person), but nobody seems to have been able to disentangle the threads of
which came first, or what influenced what, or where the word originally
came from.
Legality of a SPIFF In 2007, the The U.S. Department of Justice
characterized SPIFFs as kickbacks, and illegal if the purchaser is the
government.http://weblog.infoworld.com/techwatch/archives/011413.html
