VisionLink

VisionLink is a B2B compensation design firm that consults clients on incentive plans and total rewards.

The bonus plan pays out every year, and nothing about the business has changed

What they do

VisionLink helps clients envision, create, and sustain pay strategies that drive business growth. We do this by designing rewards strategies that promote an ownership mentality, attract, and retain premier talent, while generating a positive return on the company’s compensation investment.

Our work helps CEOs create a Unified Vision for growing the business by aligning pay with the strategic objectives of the organization.

Primary Focus: Total Compensation Structure • Total Rewards Design • Market Pay Assessment • Pay Grade Structure • Compensation GamePlan • Short-Term Incentive Design • Bonuses, Sales Compensation • Long-Term Incentive Design • Equity, phantom stock, cash, etc. • Executive Benefits and Perquisites • Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Design • Human Resource Strategy • Communication and Administration

Our Ideal Client:

  • Middle Market Private Company
  • $10Mto $1Bin annual revenue with a “Growth Mindset”
  • Unable to envision a Total Rewards Strategy that satisfies shareholders and employees
  • Struggle with building incentives that lead to their desired results
  • Lack time, expertise, or resources to design effective strategies
  • Fail to communicate their Total Rewards Strategy in a manner that instills confidence and partnership

Pricing Structure (Project-Based):

  • Compensation Game plan ($15k – $35k): May include Total Rewards Assessment, Market Pay Assessment, Pay Grade Structure, Total Compensation
  • Structure, Incentive Plan review, recommendations, etc.
  • Targeted Design and Implementation of new plans ($15k – $45k): Short-Term Incentive Plan, Sales Compensation, Long-Term Incentive Plan, or a combination (Unified Plan)
  • Other Plans ($3.5k to $15k):Market Data, Executive Compensation Summary, Change-in-Control Only Plan, Deferred Compensation, Compensation Review, etc.

How We Make Compensation Better:

  • Most businesses approach incentives from the wrong premise; thus, their plans fail (Only 10% of businesses believe their incentive plans are effective)
  • We know how to solve this problem; Our focus: how to get this “right”
  • Our clients work directly with a highly experienced consultant (25+ years)
  • We employ online technology and follow carefully refined processes to enhance the experience and results
  • We utilize proprietary cloud-based software (www.BonusRight.com) that allows client representatives to dig into their plan to the depth desired
  • We provide ongoing administration and support for Bonus Plans and Phantom Stock, so that the plan(s) can last “forever”
  • We have designed more than 400 phantom stock plans
