"Barriers to exit" is an underrated concept also in sales, internal HR, and personal career management (e.g., salary negotiation but not only).https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1258137781639032832 …

What are examples in each? Sales contracts that have no easy cancellation? Firing bad employees? I don’t know the last one.

I was thinking: 1) Whether it's okay for a salesman to not have to offer discount to get a client at all cost (because of sunk costs, say). Barriers to exit as in "being okay with letting clients go" (for highly-negotiable deals, eg consulting sales).

2) Creating a team to work on a project → being able to reassign them fast if no progress. Perhaps use front-end loading (eg: the 3 of you work on this, if promising progress in one month we continue, otherwise reassign to new project).

3) If an employees lowers his own barriers to exit (by knowing that another company would hire him, by not having overspecialized his competences to a company-specific technology, etc) he can negotiate better salary or working conditions as he has the option to exit the company.

1) whenever I’ve managed salesmen we had a “we don’t negotiate policy”. If you can’t make that work your business is probably fucked anyways. 3) The salary is the ultimate “barrier to exit” aka golden handcuffs!
