Susan stared in her glass of beer. This was the first time she was in charge of the whole consulting project. Making it a success was a must. Her client was a medium-sized television station. In a drive to cut costs, they were considering to outsource sales. Susan had just participated in the board meeting in which the key contender presented its proposal. The board had a positive impression but wanted to hear Susan's reaction. According to the sales company's proposal, they would be compensated on a variable basis. In particular, they proposed the following scheme: • 10% on the first $400 million in sales • 5% on sales above $400 million The sales company argued that their sales force was much more effective: for similar clients, their revenue generated per dollar spent on sales was more than two times higher than what the client currently achieved. The client had about $500 million in advertising sales and had no other sources of revenue. Their fixed cost was $420 million, which went mainly to the purchasing of television programs and to general overhead. Finally, they had $80 million in sales expenses, all of which was variable (in function of the number of ads sold).
Case Questions: (1) If you were Susan, would you advise your client to accept the proposal? (2) If not, what counteroffer might you propose?
