C-Levels Making Commission on Deals
23
Sounds like a great way to take liquid equity out of the company without cannibalizing their cap table. If I were the board Iโd shoot that down in the comp plan.
I can't confirm but I have a sneaky suspicion my COO is collecting commish. He's such a fucking loser.
The COO of all people?
Fuck that.
You already know what I think. Scum of the earth, right up there with slow walkers, ppl who put fish in the office microwave, and that asshole who yelled at us for tipping his recycling bin over while on our naked walk to the store last night. Cowards.ย
Iโm currently writing in my meditation journal about all the ways Iโm going to torture, maim, and murder any C Suite that collects commission. Especially ones who have worked in the presence of u, my love.ย
Iโve already located the outfit Iโm going to wear, too.ย

Ur a goddess
Fit only for a godย
Here I am.
You best get out of here before @paddyย kills u just for thinking about it lol.ย
Douchey, I had a COO that would steal any high level prospects by offering to jump on the demo with you and when it closed take the majority of the commission and leave you a little "for setting it up". Piece of shit.
This story fired me the fuck up.ย
wooooow!!! i would be SO pissed if that shit happened to meย
Itโs odd that is even possible - also OPโs scenario.
I give away, on a rotating basis, every single new prospective client I personally start to people in our firm who have onboarded within the last 12mo. If they eventually get closed I see it in the business cash flow (ownership stake). I need and want my people to eat (commish & trails).

From what I understand that dude caused a big part of the horrible attrition rate of all employees at that company. I hear he got fired and now he's near unemployable in his area because so many people are aware that he's a toxic person.
My current CEO is awesome, he will SDR for us on occasion and even pass deals on to us that he set up with his own friends. Dude knows how to keep sales staff happy. Just wish we didn't have to qualify for residuals every month haha

That's so douchey.
If you snapped and murdered that dude, I would've been the sneaky runaway juror (shoutout Cusack and Hackman).
There was so much bull shit going on at that company and that dude was at the center of most of it. Closest I came to physically assaulting the guy was when he was yelling at myself and a buddy for some stupid shit. He must have noticed that we weren't the least bit intimidated so he pounded on the table, got louder, and pointed at me basically sticking his finger in my face.
I smacked his finger out of my face, stood up and told him he didn't scare me in the slightest but was in fact beginning to piss me off. He sat down and apologized for "letting his anger take control" and the conversation was over about 5 seconds later.

They should just throw those people of the end of the earth
they belong in the shower.
They donโt deserve the shower. They belong under the heel of my new pair of Loubs. Sobbing for their mother.ย
I hear a pressure washer in the distant background
No. Just no.
Wow, no.ย ย Very bad look.
What? Absolutely not.ย They're to move a deal along.ย It's in their best benefit.ย This is like stealing.
Greedy bastards
Other than profit sharing or other standard plans, that c-level person better be ready to hit the road with me to earn that commission.
"Grab us some coffees while we review the contract will ya, Jim? Thanks"

Dumb af.
That is all
That is all
I think it depends on the circumstances, but in general I would say no.ย Their compensation is (should?) not be driven in that way.ย ย
You agreed to the comp plan... why?
The only C-level role I could see this being defensible for would be a CRO or Chief sales officerโฆ
The equivalent of a marketing person making commish lmao
how....why....I dont....i dont get it.ย
Their massive base salary not enough??ย
Are they TRYING to run their sales ppl out of the company??

Yes, they are there to push their sales guys to close and to assist on the exec level.
once your C-level isn't your commission your profit share/bonus you get each quarter? Taking it on individual deals just seems dumb
greedy af, but true af too
Not cool.ย ย
