The reality they don’t tell you: Selling work can get you in trouble if you are not in the partner pipeline. Selling a lot of work can get you in a lot of trouble. Having the most opportunity $$$ in the sales system for your region can trigger extreme behavior, particularly from market leaders who have never sold a project. First $250k project I ever sold as a young manager our OMP tried to get region to fire me. I won that one as he later got fired.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
