Hello Alaska,
I was in the process of writing the promised bit about sales professionals and their compensation structures, but sadly it was way too long and requires some serious chopping and editing. So plan B is to save that topic yet one more week and send the announced survey instead. We gather this information annually and I can't wait to hear what you say. We will share the results as soon as they are available.
I am certain that your participation will be beyond our wildest dreams, but just to make certain, I've secured a couple of incentives to give you a nudge. They include an overnight stay (with dinner and breakfast) at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Anchorage and a $50 gift certificate to either the Glacier Brewhouse, or Orso restaurants. We will also add a few $25 Kaladi Brothers gift cards.
