This 1.5 hour video presentation by Senior Consultant, Harry Schum, MBA, of Compensation Resources, guides contractors in how they can find solutions for one of the more difficult challenges in business: developing the correct compensation plan for employees, with an emphasis on salespersons.
This link includes an approximately 1.5-hour video of a presentation by Bill Silverman, a dynamic speaker who definitely knows his stuff. With a background in the Marriott organization, his presentation is modeled after the manner in which Bill Marriott grew his business into the worldwide organization it is today. As Silverman points out, in order to achieve business growth that is sustainable, as well as modular such that it holds together as you grow, you need to have a basic platform in place at each level of your operation’s size.
