In this episode, Bill and Bryan discuss best practices for motivating sales teams through compensation.
The guys explain why overly complex commission structures often backfire by eroding trust between sales reps and management. They share real world examples of commission plans gone wrong, and advise simplifying compensation to focus on customer needs instead of maximizing rep pay.
They also emphasize striking a balance between company goals and rep motivations. Listen for tips on creating commission plans that incentivize integrity and service.
