Sales Award Perspective
03/02/2023
Sales awards have been around as long as sales have been measured.
Top 10, #1, etc.
But I think rankings can be misleading.
And potentially even harmful to an organization if too much emphasis is given to rankings within a peer group.
Maybe the #21 ranked person did more incredible work than the top 10 people, but the numbers don’t reflect the full story?
Maybe the #1 ranked person left the most opportunities on the table that could have been won had they worked more efficiently?
The most effective managers don’t focus solely on numbers.
Sales award perspective.
Look at each person’s individual situation.
Where did they start?
How have they progressed so far?
What do their actions look like?
Skill level?
Market?
Yes … provide recognition and awards for great individual accomplishments.
This aspect of sales leadership should never change.
But be mindful … numbers only tell a part of the story.
Great time here in Jamaica with some of our team members. 80’s, no humidity, slight breeze, spectacular views.
Make it a great day!
