Different Strokes…
We’ve all heard that old saying, “Different strokes for different folks.” Truer words were never spoken. Sales managers are always looking for the right “hot buttons” to get their salespeople motivated. Selling is a tough profession. There are always dissapointments and potential discouragements. Nobody likes rejection and salespeople live with it daily. That’s why commissions, contests and other incentives are so prevelent in the world of selling.
