Is your agency set up for
new business success? In Hubspot's
Agency Pricing and Financial Report,
less than half (46%) of agency leaders
surveyed indicated they were either
“satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their
agency’s positioning. 43% of them
have not developed a strong
positioning statement.

TIP: Don’t neglect cultural fit. Culture
is so important that some agencies
look for cultural fit before anything
else. What is your agency’s culture,
and how does it apply to hires that
may not be in creative roles? What
qualities and values should someone
have to mesh well with your culture?

TIP: Avoid using a descending sliding scale for commission percentage (i.e., 6% for
closing up to $300,000 in new business; 5% for closing between $300,000-
$500,000; 4% for closing over $500,000). Though some organizations use such a
scale, it will likely de-motivate your salespeople. Your compensation plan should
incentivize the behavior you want, not work against it.

10 Dr. Brad Smart of Topgrading has done studies pegging the average cost of a sales mis-hire at as much as six
times their base salary; others have said its closer to 3-4 times base salary. 11
Total costs for salary, employment tax, benefits are roughly 1.24-4x base salary, per Joe Hadzima, MIT. (So for $75-150K salary, the cost of benefits might be $22-45K).
