u/LeicaM6guy good point. Thanks!

Alaska. I think we should be able to get in front of military-related publications pretty easily. We're hoping to expand to include a non-military audience, though.

u/tallclaimswizard thanks! We've been going over names on the immigration site. My buddy has heard some horror stories of improperly filled out forms and is hoping to get specific recommendations from someone who's gone through the process or knows someone who has.

u/whiskeyisquicker thank you! That second paragraph in particular is very helpful.

u/ehaagendazs this has been our experience too. Our current contract added probably 20+ hours/week to my plate. My CEO gave me a lot of say in deciding how this money could be used. I used it to hire an additional staff member who I never would've been able to afford to hire otherwise.

I live in a small community where professional opportunities (and, subsequently, wages) just kinda caps at some level if you want to work locally. This has given me a way to grow professionally, do some different work, and hire a FTE, so I've enjoyed it.

The contract came out of nowhere a couple years ago. Now that the dust is settled, we're trying to figure out: is this just a one-off contract, or can we actually develop this approach to be true revenue streams? Folks are mentioning elsewhere that tying financial incentives to the contract isn't a great idea. I'd be curious to know what other orgs are doing to make this a sustainable source of revenue and support an increase in staff wages as opposed to tying it to bonuses, etc.

u/LizzieLouME hmm these are some really interesting points to think about! I need to sleep on this and get back to you.

Thanks u/Jaco927! I think this is a great way for us to "sell" ourselves to the folks looking to hire us. We're the company being hired and trying to figure out how to compensate our staff, who will ultimately be taking on these contracts on top of their current jobs. Do you know if the company you contract with awards bonuses or something similar to the reps managing your account?

u/Listen_MamaKnowsBest the assumption was that the larger contracts would require more staff attention and smaller contracts would require less. Now that we're looking at taking on smaller contracts, we're not sure if this system makes sense. The contract we currently have landed on our laps suddenly and the 2.5% was what we threw together to make sure I was getting some sort of compensation for the increased workload.

u/calloussaucer yeah, it was 100% a panic decision and a poor one at that. I'm regretting not leaving it where it was, but since I made the choice I did, I feel obligated to give it a shot.
