Creating rolemodels in an employee recognition program is a great way to both reward an employee for top performance and give other employees a realistic model of what the company expects in sales.

Motivating yourself instead of thinking about how it benefits the company does help a lot of people. That may be difficult for some supervisors and managers to realize, but it is true!

Incentive programs sure do help people who need a little extra assistance getting motivated. Sometimes it’s hard to make sales if you don’t have anything yourself to work towards, so it’s good for companies to create goals for their employees.

I can’t believe that 20% of employees make 80% of the sales! It’s so hard to believe that some people just don’t pull their weight. Some people are just naturally motivated.

Having a tangible object to work towards is definitely a bigger motivator for people than cash or bonuses. They don’t really ’see’ the prize, and therefore don’t work as hard to get it.
