Where was I?  Ok, my question is this.  If we can't measure the success of a Business Development transaction, how do we pay tehe Biz Dev associate correctly?  If a person comes on early in the game, it's obvious because the Biz Dev person is sharing in the risk of the company with which they're involved (if it's a startup, there is less guarantee for success than for an established company).  But in an established company, is it really simply a matter of stating goal? And if yes, how do we know when the goal has been reached?  Do you have personal goals within a company that let you know when you've reached goals? (I know it may be impossible to talk about w/regards to your current company, but what about in the past?)  I switched the theme to pink, btw.  So hot.
