Always "keep score", as what gets measured and aligned with incentives has a very high probability of getting accomplished. It is a great foundation for any business and most people enjoy working much more in a performance based culture. Matt,

Bonus plans should not be in a contract if they are not tied directly to meeting objectives. One other way to think of it, a sales person doesn't get a commission for "almost" making a sale. Objectives should be fluid throughout the course of the year to reflect the changes in the business climate. Matt,
