Core Values Spotlight: Trust
  

At Bridgepoint, trust is the cornerstone of our business. It encompasses all aspects of our lives -- from being forthright and honest -- to serving our clients with the highest degree of service. Trust means doing what we say and not operating with a double set of standards. Trust is something that can't be given; it is a trait we expect to earn every day.  

 

At Bridgepoint, we fully commit to earning and working hard to retain the trust of our clients, business partners and employees.

Leader's Edge Recap: The Art of the Sales Comp Plan

 

"Two things: Sales people are coin operated," said a CFO at the recent Bridgepoint Leader's Edge event for finance executives, "And changes to a comp plan can have bad unexpected effects if not thoughtfully planned."

This was part of the discussion when Bridgepoint Consulting recently hosted an interactive roundtable with 25 CFOs and finance leaders at the offices of Multimedia Games about the topic of sales compensation plans. The discussion was led by industry veterans Adam Chibib, CFO of Multimedia Games and Trey Chambers, CFO of Compass Learning, and was moderated by Bob Smith of Bridgepoint Consulting. Read more...
