Valuetainment Will do. Because I’m seeing a disconnect with those who “have money” and their ability to cheat those without it. Wealth has absolutely NOTHING to do with hard work, nor education. But, however, working for someone for pay does not equal up. A cheap employer will always have an excuse for not compensating properly/fairly, yet always has money for himself/herself. The money game, which is what this is, is not fair and most employers Will steal wages salary when given the opportunity. Just my experience when I hear “employers” brag about pay.

[@Maphip]

Sir one question the department of a company that pays salary is called what

How to Pay Your Employees Key Takeaways: Pay Levels: 1.Hourly: Low skill and transactional job, good starting point to know who want to go to the next level 2.Salary: 40h/week, hourly has a skill set, eligible to promotion and raises 3.Profits: salary+profits/bonus, work during weekends if needed 4.Equity: best executives coming on board 5.Sales: sales is king Strategies: -Know what you can afford -Always keep a look out for free agents -Know the market value for the position you are hiring for -Learn how to customize pay depending on talent -Setup a compensation plan in a way to incentivize loyalty and longevity

[@Sveltdre]

Bredou Alban Brice Where do You, as employer, get the money to pay? Do much talk about pay, salary etc, where you get Your money? Please don’t say sales! BS!

@Billy B Then you aren't ready to hire anyone. Or pay people under the table.

[@mrcarterfx885]

Everyone that works a low wage job needs to understand this. You get paid for your skills not because u work hard

[@charlesmichaelschmitt6412]

What if through a set of skills, someone has more expeirence, doing it long but can outperform, create a team dynamic because of said level? What about outside and around the corner thinking, planing but not over anticipating. 😅 I work for much less now! doing entrylevel stuff I did in the military as a SPC. Europe! I can't get out of recreuting agencies, because I have a residance in Germany. Local secter feel threatend by my expierence but want to hire and fire me to keep a bottom feeder mentality. I can't get a good job because I over stayed as an American but can't really work as a Local National. I get a hassle because protected employees sleepwalk through their job! The sad truth, I am living on the verge of poverty, can't get ahead. I will eventually file bankruptcy.

[@eli_manguala]

you get paid for skills and working hard. both

[@jamesdnh]

Exactly. And if they don't pay for my skills on a job that is important (building quarter million to half million projects daily) then I don't work hard. If they don't value their own product why should I?

[@REEVOTIC]

this was one of the greatest videos you have ever done Patrick.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

+Alloy Jack thanks. What did you like most about it?

[@REEVOTIC]

knowing how to balance salary and equity.

[@lonutifrim2750]

This is quite an interesting information, but waiting on a monthly salary is frustrating somethings. we Don't have to depend on one source of income. Investing create a safe haven for the future.

[@sophiahermann]

I concur 💯 to what you're saying, show me someone without investment and I will tell you how long it's going to take to go bankrupt. the wisest thing that should be on every individual list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on government or company for salary.....

[@Santiago-he4rz]

Investing is an important decision to be made for the future. If you don't mind, can you please make me understand how you made profit investing in cryptocurrency, thanks.

Investment are the steppingstones to success especially if you been guided by a professional. Investment is good but investing in the right place is the key to financial freedom. who's your pro.?

[@lonutifrim2750]

There are so many investors out there but if profits must be considered then not all investment are go to go. I have made up to $ 30k in just 3 weeks and 2 days.

[@thorstenhunsicker9302]

The thing about giving equity to superstars is a game changer! Opened my eyes on how to approach and hire people I cannot afford right now, but those are exactly the necessary and highly motivated people that will get you to the next level!

[@Ducky_logan]

That front desk clerk story. That’s really cool to think that how you set up your business can change people’s life.

[@MissChievousRN]

Another great one!! Very timely too. We own a small but growing business and we are struggling with finding good employees. As a small business, we don't have a ton of $ for payroll but its a learn on the job position. We do hand out bonuses for particularly long hours or a difficult gig. The jobs are entry level but with the company growing this fast, there is plenty of future ahead and skills to learn. One of the things we encourage is sales with commission- anything they bring in completely organically, they get a cut. We don't have to front the money so it saves the payroll, but it also incentivises them to CREATE their own bonus. They also tend to take ownership of those jobs, proud of them, and they reach a little higher. Its a 3 way win and it helps team build because they actually have emotional skin in the game and are personally invested in building the company. We really hope they stay and grow with the company. There's definitely a generational divide in work ethic and the snowflake influence on our employee base. This is really a great video explaining how and why to pay people and how to incentivise employees to bring out their best ;) Thanks so much!!

[@Aruariaan]

this may not be the most exciting video you say?this was extremely informational and interesting!

[@wuzgoanon9373]

Great wisdom here. Compensation structure can be used to drive growth and longevity based on the value of employee/member contribution and loyalty. It's always a measurable value proposition.

[@marcdevries4470]

another piece of great advise i have taken and used to full extent, find old retired people who would love to get out of the house for a while. offer them none to a tiny bit of workload and sincere respect to advise young unexperienced workers. they often don't want much money from you if they want any and they greatly enhance unexperienced workers.

[@talentsherpa]

Thank you, Patrick for clarifying an opaque or murky area. I recruit the rock stars of the insurance world. My clients are the CEOs or presidents of large insurance organizations and to make the decision making easier or more smooth, I’ve come up with a scorecard called Avatar. Avatar is one who is great in their echo system as defined by their skills, traits, tenure, and pain. My clients and I collaborate and create his/her avatar, I’ll go fetch them, they interview multiple times and when it comes to make a decision, these CEOs and their hiring team each rate the candidate in a scale of 1-10 and let the numbers be a strong guiding light. I’ve had 99.11% success rate when it’s come to tenure

[@clarkbolding5161]

Hourly pay if for simple skill sets. Salary means you are valued and are needed in the company. When in a salary position go above and beyond to have leverage in negotiating price point. Salary + sales/bonus is like a pot at the end of the rainbow. Giving equity is more for long term partners. Don't put a cap on sales cause there will reach a point where they are no longer incentivized. Sales is king. Give equity to those you believe can bring immense value. Numbers don't lie. Know the market value of a position.

[@dennisreed4927]

Brilliant. After listening to your video I have a better understanding of the different levels. From transaction hourly employee to Top Sales. Gives me more insight for future growth and where to align our team as we grow. We are a small 4 person team now but are excited to see where we can take it. Thanks for all you and your team does to provide excellent content. By far you all are a step above.

Hi Patrick, your work is amazing! I've been following your channel for a quite a while and I can say I learn so much that I can't even handle at one. I take notes every time when I watch your video, sometimes I go and watch the video more than once! I have noticed you always talk the "sales" is the key, "sales" is the king, but what about the other people who are not on the product side. Running a software company without good product is not decent strategy as well. What is your advice to those who develop/produce the great product and make it literally easier for the salespeople to sell it? Thank you for your amazing work and knowledge you provide to all of us!
