Description
It is an oddity of behavioral psychology that it’s a smart business strategy to let sales reps self-select some of their goals, yet not so smart to let them determine whether they receive cash or non-cash rewards for reaching those goals. Simply put, we don’t always understand what motivates us most effectively.
In this webinar, you will learn why our stated preferences don’t always line up with our decisions to act. For sales managers, this presents an opportunity to turn irrational behavior into an engine for improved performance.
Here’s what you will take away:
1. Why incentives are not obsolete
2. Why sales reps aren’t always good judges of what motivates them
3. Three characteristics of effective incentives
4. How dollar signs can disrupt salespeople’s perception of reward
