![]() Richard Miller - "Building Brands & Selling Stuff" Pay Up! In this episode, we talk about some of the greatest challenges in setting compensation plans for our teams and in particular – our sales forces. What’s fair? What works? What motivates? What doesn’t? SETTING THE SCENE This show is focussed on customer facing matters – Sales and Marketing. At IBGR, we are building the largest Global Business Community in history to bring you practical and pragmatic advice from business operators who do or have done what you are doing. Tune in to the show for the following thoughts and insights. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOU? We cover: Why do some plans work whilst other plans don’t? Compensation mistakes to avoid. Retainer, commission or both? Stay flexible – a plan is not a contract. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW About 1/2 of businesses mix between base salary and variable pay for sales compensation. 18% use a mix of 80 percent salary and 20 percent commission. 16% use a 70 percent salary, 30 percent commission ration. 14% reported a mix of 60 percent salary and 40 percent commission. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND HOW YOU NEED TO DO IT
