The $100K Receptionist

My Job Here Is Done - Career Success Podcast

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Comp Creep - Runaway Pay - Compensation plans that hurt your company and your employees. We ask … How can a person earn a $100K annual salary for being a receptionist in a small company? We show you how it happened, why it shouldn’t happen, and how to fix it before it happens in your business.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Meet Archie and April, a couple we met on the beach who inspired this episode
* One started as a new receptionist 20 years earlier and was let go recently
* Their ending salary for the receptionist position was over $100k annually
* We discuss compensation plans that can promote pay-band anomalies
* We offer a few ideas on how to create compensation plans that work for today

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

Compensation plans can be complicated to the point where you lose control of costs or disincentivize employees. We discuss ways to make compensation and incentives rewarding, controllable, and fair.

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with challenges and celebrating their career successes differently.

Over the years, they noticed similarities in their stories about their work, the people they interacted with, and how business was conducted. Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there is substantial value for others in those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.
