Ken takes the time to deeply understand the nuances of both the business and its sales team. He cuts through the commercial noise to design sales compensation that is simple, scalable, and easy to understand, manage, and execute. He is an expert at crafting plans that not only motivate and reward sales teams but also keep expectations clear and strategy focused. His influence has shaped how we think about motivating sales teams and he has left a lasting impact on our commercial organizations.”

“Ken helped us design our sales comp plans for three years of tremendous growth in revenues, profits, and headcount and I haven’t had a serious complaint about our designs during that time. Also, sales compensation costs were reduced from near 30% of revenue to the low teens as a percent of revenue during this time.”

“Ken was a strong advocate for the field and creatively communicated sales compensation to the field in a simple, straight-forward way such that the field would realize total compensation was aligned to the organization’s growth goals. He knew the ins and outs of sales comp design like the back of his hand. Also, he was extremely considerate and thoughtful in his approach with field personnel who often called in highly emotional states. His emotional intelligence and ability to remain calm during the onslaughts he often faced was truly an artful thing to observe.”
