Contract to protect myself if I dont hit targets

    Hi,

    I have just signed an NDA and agreed to a project that aims to get up sales of a company.

    However, what happens if I dont hit my targets?

    Can I make them sign a contract that I cant be held responsible if I dont hit my targets? - and as a result they dont make as much money as they wanted from sales?

    If someone could tell me what I should be searching for, or if they already have somethin similar would be great!

    Thanks guys

    You are best negotiating a pay system that rewards you if you hit your targets and pays a basic amount to cover your wages if you don't.

    So no contract is necessary? Should I just say that I will try to hit targets but cant guarantee results?

    Well the point of a target is that you don't always reach it. You need a contract though otherwise they might not pay you.

    Whatever it says in the contract will happen if you don't hit your targets.

    Nothing then! Well....apart from I dont get paid my bonus for that target I suppose, actually, thats quite a big 'but' isn't it?

    Oh well, its better than being sued or something!
