Talked to the CEO of SetSail.co recently, who has a unique idea for sales compensation:
1/3 Base
1/3 Commission
1/3 "Deal Progress"
Deal Progress = You did the right things in the sales process, even if customer didn't get closed.
Example: You sent reminder email 1 day before call. You ran a good disco and uncovered pains. You replied to a customer email with 60 minutes with answers. The customer viewed the proposal. You got to the economic buyer from the champion. Etc.
Basically, you did the things that you can control right.
Thoughts on this?
