Do you pay your salespeople in perpetuity? Peel back the layers to expose the hidden dangers of perpetual payouts. Irregardless of what an acquirer wants, it’s time to take another look at your sales comp plan.
The partnering-with-pest-control question continues. In this case, The Boardroom takes another stab at the home inspection question from Episode 131. Do the same rules regarding perpetuity pay for salespeople apply to paying joint venture partners?
And should it (and you) stay or should it go? When it comes to joint venture partners and also founders, what challenges and opportunities exist when it comes to transitioning after an exit? And how does it differ between strategics and private equity?
