The “Reward the Right Stuff” Compensation and Bonus Program

RewardCreating a Budget is a powerful step towards crafting YOUR ideal business. From the Budget, you have Goals for each area of the business…and a reasonable Selling Price. How do you KNOW if your Budget assumptions are sound? You have to keep SCORE.

Keeping Score helps you know if you are on track…and what to do if you are not! Also, by Keeping Score, you can reward the people in your company who go “above and beyond.” Quit rewarding poor performance. Start rewarding the Right Stuff people at your company.

This program will help you get up and RUNNING with a performance-based compensation and bonus program. We will schedule two on-site visits with Ellen Rohr.

On the first 2 ½ day visit with Ellen Rohr you’ll receive…

  • Customize and implement the Scorecards and Scoreboards for the Service Techs, Sales Teams and Install Teams.
  • On-site, real-time education for you and your team. Ellen will introduce you to the Scorecards and Scoreboards and a solid Bonus program.
  • Tie in a WIN-WIN-WIN compensation and bonus program. We’ll “dovetail” your Budget with the Scorecards and a sound compensation program, one that honors and rewards the best performers and won’t shoot your profits in the foot.
  • Answer questions and customize the “Rules of the Game” to work for YOUR team. Implementing a new way-to-pay can be tricky. Ellen will help you navigate the best course…and get everyone on your team playing a bigger, better game.
  • Show you how to measure, improve and REWARD progress. One of the cool benefits of this compensation plan is that EVERYONE can win. We’ll show you how!

During the second 1 ½ day visit, you’ll…

  • Review and update the Budget with the information from the Scorecards and Scoreboards.
  • “Iron out” the challenges discovered by you and your team as you put the program in place.
  • Kick in the bonuses and acknowledge the Right Stuff actions at your company!
  • Enjoy a compensation and bonus program that doesn’t leave you feeling resentful…and doesn’t compromise your profitability. This program MORE than pays for itself in increased sales and profits!

The “Reward the Right Stuff” is designed to help you put performance-based compensation IN at your company. Sure, you can do it yourself. But WHEN? And will you know the answers to all the tough questions your team is bound to come up with? We can help!

BONUS the Financial Intensive includes Financial Basics 102 – all the Scorecards, Scoreboards and Procedures customized for YOUR company…and IMPLEMENTED during the on-site visits.

The Financial Quick Check Meetings

Financial Quick Check

Are you concerned that the accomplishments you make in our consulting work could slip away? It’s so easy to fall back into old habits and patterns. One of the best benefits of working with Bare Bones Biz is that we will HOLD YOU accountable. Our weekly Financial Quick Check meetings will…

  • Review your homework on your Financial Quick Check.
  • Reinforce your financial analysis…and help you find the red flags if you happen to miss them.
  • Help you develop the habit of meeting weekly for a financial review and decision making meeting with your key employees. You can’t win the game if you ignore the SCORE!
  • Make sure you STAY at a KFP and create profits…EVERY month. The financials can get “messy” if you are not diligent. It takes time, discipline and procedure to change a behavior.

Set yourself and your team up to WIN and let us hold you accountable…at least for two months. That way the good behaviors will gel into good habits!

Andy Stack“I’m 55 years old and I would like to retire in this lifetime! My four kids work in the business, and I am glad that they chose to work with me. However I realized I haven’t fully prepared them to take the reins. And, as it stands now, there isn’t enough fortune for all four next-generation families unless we grow this business. I knew I needed HELP”
