  • Senior Director

    Bonus Model


    The Senior Directors are eligible for a bonus based on the profits generated by their coverage group, subject to the results of an annual vendor client survey. The survey will be conducted with the named senior representative of each vendor client, who will provide a thumbs up or down rating regarding the Senior Directors' service level.

    To receive a bonus, the Senior Directors must achieve a minimum client survey approval rate of 80%. If a Senior Director's approval rate falls below 92% for two consecutive years, they will not be eligible for a bonus in the second year, regardless of the profit generated by their coverage group.

    Assuming a profit margin of 20% and a bonus percentage of 10%, the potential bonus for each

    Senior Director would be:

    Profit = Total revenue × Profit margin

    Profit = $50,000,000 × 0.20 = $10,000,000

    Potential Bonus per Senior Director = Profit × Bonus percentage

    Potential Bonus per Senior Director = $10,000,000 × 0.10 = $1,000,000

    The actual bonus payout will be determined by the percentage of thumbs up ratings received in the annual vendor client survey, provided the minimum 80% approval rate is met.

    Actual Bonus per Senior Director = Potential

    Bonus × (Number of Thumbs Up ÷ Total Number of Vendor Clients), if approval rate ≥ 80%

    Actual Bonus per Senior Director = $0, if approval rate < 80%

    For example, if a Senior Director receives 85 thumbs up ratings out of the 100 primary vendor clients surveyed, the actual bonus payout would be:


    Actual Bonus = $1,000,000 × (85 ÷ 100) = $850,000


    However, if a Senior Director's approval rate falls below 92% for two consecutive years, they will not be eligible for a bonus in the second year, even if their approval rate is above 80%.

    The bonus will be paid out in the second quarter of the following year, based on the survey results from the previous year.

    Responsibilities for Bonus:


    To ensure eligibility for the bonus and maintain a high level of client satisfaction, the Senior

    Directors must:

    Consistently deliver exceptional research and analysis that exceeds vendor clients' expectations.


    Proactively engage with vendor clients to understand their evolving needs and address any concerns promptly and effectively.
    Provide responsive, personalized, and value-added client service that sets the standard for the industry.


    Demonstrate thought leadership and deep domain expertise in the artificial intelligence market and its submarkets.


    Build and nurture strong, long-lasting relationships with vendor clients based on trust, reliability, and continuous value creation.

    By focusing on these responsibilities and consistently achieving high approval ratings in the annual vendor client survey, the Senior Directors can maximize their bonus potential and maintain their eligibility for bonuses year after year.
