Building Excel Models & Hiring Great People

I have spent the past 15 years of my life building models and I love it. What can I say...I'm a geek. Since leaving the buy-side I have spent less time building models and I have missed it.

My new business has me back in the saddle building a big fat model in order to help build, manage and forecast the business. For all of you model geeks and quant-jockeys out there here's a taste.

This is the biannual sales bonus formula for my soon to be hired sales people:

=IF((L13+K13+J13+I13+H13+G13)*'Expense input'!$B$34<(('Expense input'!$B$32*'Expense input'!C11)-('2010 Rev & Exp'!$D$32*12))/2,((L13+K13+J13+I13+H13+G13)*'Expense input'!$B$34),(('Expense input'!$B$32*'Expense input'!C11)-('2010 Rev & Exp'!$D$32*12))/2)

For all of the normal people out there...if you know of any GREAT sales people or IR Pros in the Boston area (South Shore in particular) looking for an exciting new opportunity please have them leave a comment on my blog and I would be happy to speak with them. The opportunity is big and the compensation is real. The business has not launched yet but the gloves are about to come off and we are going to come out swinging!
