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!
