Dan Walter: Why Your Sales Incentive Plan Is Probably Built for the Wrong Role

Kris Rudeegraap: The Comeback of Direct Mail in the AI Era
Go To Market
Kris Rudeegraap, co-CEO of Sendoso, didn’t start in software. He started in sales, hustling during the early days of mail merge when 90% email response rates were real (yes, really). But when inboxes became saturated and automation tools exploded, he asked a pivotal question: What’s my competitive advantage now? His answer? Actively listen to what his customers were saying and respond with: –Handwritten notes. –Personalized gifts. For instance, Kris sent swag after hearing a dog bark on a Zoom call. It worked. But it was messy and unscalable. So Kris built the...

In this episode of the Go-To-Market podcast, host Amy Cook, CMO and Co-Founder at Fullcast, sits down with self-described “mercenary” of incentive compensation, Dan Walter, to challenge one of the most sacred assumptions in go-to-market strategy: that sales roles, and the way we pay them, are simple.
Dan has spent 30+ years designing variable compensation and pay-for-performance systems. He studies comp tech, AI, and incentive design obsessively — and writes extensively to sharpen his thinking.
In this episode, Dan introduces a powerful metaphor from his time on a Nebraska cattle ranch:
Hunters close.
Farmers maintain.
Ranchers build ecosystems.
And here’s something to think about:
Half of your best salespeople are probably ranchers, and your compensation plan doesn’t even recognize it.
Dan Walter’s Hot Takes on Incentive Compensation
-
Short-term quotas sabotage long-term enterprise growth.
-
You cannot motivate consultative sellers with transactional comp plans.
-
RevOps often builds systems for reporting — not for selling.
-
If your tools help the CFO more than the salesperson, you’ve already lost.
-
Most companies misclassify their top revenue talent.
If your revenue has plateaued…
If your enterprise deals take years but your comp plan only rewards quarters…
If your best salespeople don’t fit neatly into “hunter” or “farmer”…
You’re going to want to hear this.
