Welcome to Day 10 of the Double Your Profit Series — the go-to profit series for contractors, home service owners, and small business entrepreneurs. Today, we’re tackling something that’s as obvious as it is underused: Tying Compensation to What Actually Matters.

🧠 If you’ve ever said “I wish we had more sales” — but your sales team is on base salary with no commission — this one’s for you. No incentives? No results. It’s that simple.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why lack of commissions kills sales motivation
• How to instantly align incentives with business outcomes
• What Charlie Munger meant by “Show me the incentive, and I’ll show you the result”
• How to build a comp plan that actually drives performance
• Why the culture you’re building is shaped by what you reward
• The cascading effect of bad (or nonexistent) compensation design
• Real-world example: how a friend’s lack of incentive tanked her motivation—on a Monday bike ride
