I thought hiring a salesperson would make me money… until I realized I had no idea how to pay them without breaking the rules.
If you’ve ever wondered how to compensate a non-attorney salesperson ethically and profitably, this episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor is a must-listen.
In it, I break down exactly how to pay a non-attorney salesperson in a way that’s smart, strategic, and 100% above board.
I’ll be discussing real numbers, firm-friendly structures, and how to stay on the right side of ethics rules.
You’ll learn why traditional “base + commission” models won’t fly in most jurisdictions and how “base + bonus tied to collected revenue” is the way to go.
I’ll also cover:
- How to calculate target compensation
- What behaviors to incentivize (spoiler: it’s not just closing deals)
- Why tracking conversion metrics matters more than you think
… and so much more!
Well then, what are you waiting for?
Tune in now!
