Back in the day, premium comp for some software sales execs made simple and easy sense. Traditional software had 90% gross margins, and the classic enterprise sales reps, the best ones, could close a million or more dollars a year. Paying them 20% all-in on what they closed was easy, a 5:1 ratio ratio. Close a million, make $200k. Close two million, make $400k.

“What was once working just isn’t any more.” That was Steph Cuthbertson, HubSpot’s Chief Product Officer, talking about the old ways of attempting to market to customers in individual and siloed channels and sell to them in ways that B2C behemoths like Amazon have made obsolete.

There’s the old children’s song, “The Skeleton Dance.” It starts with “the foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the knee bone…” It’s really a discussion of systems. The human body wouldn’t function without all the components or subsystems working together. Business and what we do as sellers is a set of interconnected/interdependent subsystems.

I built my selling career on referrals. As a result, my closing ratios were phenomenally high. I created and nurtured relationships with both clients and power partners. I was always a member of a networking, or leads, group. Some of the leads groups that I belonged to were good and others were flat out bad. Regardless, I always made them pay. I showed up at every meeting and I always had leads to share. .

We see all sorts of articles about work/life balance. We read about a downside to WFH, the fact that we seem never to leave the job, it intrudes on our home life. We see people putting in long hours and macho attitudes that some how associate hours at work with one’s value. We see people genuinely exhausted from long hours. We see quiet quitting, both associated with hours and with a lack of connectedness with the organization.
