You say you want an elite acquisition manager who closes deals, follows your process, and helps you scale, yet you refuse to give them stability or invest in their training. In this eye-opening solo episode, Tiffany High dismantles the myth that paying commission-only is the safest way to hire, revealing why it actually repels the top-tier talent you desperately need. Tiffany breaks down her exact Compensation Funnel, showing you how to strategically recruit from the retail space, match their base salary for stability, and use performance-based commissions to provide life-changing income. You will also learn the non-negotiable systems you must build from a rigid four-step interview process to daily KPI scorecards before you ever make your first hire. Listen and enjoy the show!

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Structure your compensation plan to attract, train, and retain elite acquisition managers
  • Transition from a commission-only model to a base-plus-commission structure safely
  • Recruit top-tier sales talent from the retail sector who are eager for a better work-life balance
  • Stop your team from locking up bad deals by tying their pay to profitable behaviors
  • Build a mandatory daily scorecard that proves your inconsistencies are a sales problem, not a marketing problem
