Commission is meant to be the engine of a sales team, the thing that turns effort into money and money into motivation. In a lot of businesses it does the opposite. It becomes a monthly source of error, argument and mistrust that quietly drains the team it was supposed to drive. The cause is almost […]
You approved 30 new agents. The plan added 30 quotas. So why does the revenue lift feel so much smaller than the headcount promised? Because the number on a hiring plan and the number of people actually selling this month are rarely the same. Two forces sit between them: ramp time and churn. Both are […]
If you have read into the question of why more salespeople do not always mean more sales, the answer keeps arriving at the same word: visibility.
