Just netted a 17k bonus after exploiting comp plan loophole
Has anyone else ever absolutely finessed a comp plan loophole before leadership patched it?
2025 was hands down one of my best years ever.
•Cleared $300K+
•Hit President’s Club
•Basically became a “top performer” overnight
The funniest part?
I maybe worked 10 hours a week. Maximum.
My company has the dumbest ROE rule imaginable: if you log any form of contact with an account during the fiscal year, you get ROE credit.
So what did I do?
Early January I spent ONE day sending an email blast to literally every contact in our entire Salesforce database. Thousands. Absolute carpet bomb.
Then I just… sat back.
Throughout the year I magically ended up on four massive enterprise deals as a 50/50 split. Didn’t source them, didn’t run point, didn’t do anything meaningful.
Just showed up on the paperwork like:
“Yeah I touched that account 😌”
Now my team hates me, leadership is seething, but they can’t do a single thing because technically I played by their rules.
I punched my ticket to P-Club, I’m taking the trip, and then I’m bouncing to another org with:
President’s Club | $4m closed | Top Rep
on my resume like I’m some kind of sales god.
Anyone else have legendary loophole stories or am I just built different?
