When you think about growing your business, improving data security probably isn’t at the top of your list—and that’s understandable. After all, the topic of security doesn’t sound as exciting as that latest Instagram hack and isn’t as immediately impactful as a new sales tactic.

Dear SaaStr: what are your thoughts on incentivizing reps to handle repeat business vs focusing solely on new business with an account management team for repeats (when you are still under $10m)? At the end of the day if your product is SUPER sticky and doesn’t need a big procurement battle to renew, then just have finance or ops handle it. Basically, automate it as much as possible.

Dear SaaStr: How Do I Motivate a Sales Team Working Commission Only? It is really, really tough. While I am sure there are examples of “1099 reps” that have done extremely well, I haven’t seen it work in SaaS. Pay the reps at least a small base salary, with a large commission. It’s what folks are used to.
