Sandy S. – $250,000 Performance Driven Salary – Up to $1,000,000 Equity!

Sandy is a world-class channel marketing executive who was working a consulting job out working for an Asian-based company in telecom. He wanted to get back to a domestic company, and was interested in a variety of industry segments outside of telecomm.

One of the main goals for Sandy was to work on his career strategy and to explore options available to him. Through the course of working with SC&C on these issues, Sandy became very clear and focused on what he wanted to do which helped him clarify his “passion” for those with whom he networked. The strategic planning set the framework for his “branding” in the marketplace and then, he purchased a drum set from a family. Job related? Here’s the rest of the story. It turned out the woman selling the set was a recruiter. Not being shy about creating a relationship under any circumstance, Sandy shared a bit about his background with her. She was impressed and remembered Sandy when a friend of hers with XXXX was looking for a world-wide channel leader.

That simple introduction led to a series of conversations and relationship building discussions that ultimately generated a great offer from the company. And, as these things happen, no sooner did Sandy accept this position than a number of other very interesting opportunities surfaced for him. When it rains, it pours! At his current company, he is being mentored by a world-known figure who is one of the investors in this company. A dream fulfilled for Sandy!

His base is $190,000 with an upside bonus component that doesn’t cap. Sandy feels he can get this closer to $250,000 with performance. Additionally, he was awarded 3 basis points in the value of the company which is a new way of awarding equity, similar to stock options. Frankly, this was one of the more attractive aspects of the position, as within a year or so, he could potentially have close to $1 million in equity.
