UK and International

Sales commission is not the best way to motivate salespeople. Throughout a 20-year sales and sales management career I have never received or paid a sales commission. This has taken some strong courage of my convictions in the face of management, candidates and employees saying that it is essential and assuring me that sales cannot improve without it. This session will look at the pros and cons of sales commission, the alternative ways to motivate a sales team and hopefully give you the courage to defy an industry standard pay structure, with the aim of creating more loyal, more motivated and more independent salespeople.

Pros and cons of commission-based incentives for salespeople. Why it makes sense to motivate salespeople without commission. How to motivate salespeople without commission.
