Coin Operated

The 80/20 Way to Build and Pay a Team That Grows EBITDABy Bill CanadyRecorded Track
Length6h 29m

About this audiobook

Most middle-market companies run pay plans nobody can fully explain. The salespeople are paid on revenue, the leaders on a scorecard of ten measures, and side letters pile up under both, while the owner values the company on EBITDA. People do what the plan pays for, so whatever the strategy says, the pay plan is the strategy they run. Coin Operated applies 80/20 thinking to the team and its pay. Read every plan as it actually pays. Put the owner’s number at the top of every leader’s plan and give each lever of the bridge to EBITDA one owner. Build the sales team against the customers worth keeping and pay it on the gross margin it controls. Pay the few seats that move the number at the top of the market, lock the leaders to the number with a cash gate, and give real equity to the people who will deliver the gain.
