Why you should read The Complete Guide to Sales Force Incentive Compensation
Planning the ideal salesforce incentive compensation program is very challenging. Pay enough, and you’ll energize your salespeople. Pay too much, and you’ll throw money away while turning salespeople into loafers who can get by on fewer sales. Pay too little, and you’ll push your best salespeople out the door. But how much is enough, too much or too little? How do you figure out the best mix of salary, commissions and bonuses to pay your salespeople? This comprehensive compensation guide is a good place to start answering these questions. Written by sales and marketing experts Andris A. Zoltners, Prabhakant Sinha and Sally E. Lorimer, this is your essential map for developing and implementing the ideal compensation incentive plan for your salespeople. getAbstract recommends it to sales managers who want to do a better job of meeting their personnel needs and, therefore, their sales targets. (Read this before you negotiate compensation with anyone else.)
