NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2012 – As chief sales officers are tasked with balancing the long-term mission of their organizations against the day-to-day pressures of meeting financial goals, Madison Performance Group, a global web-based workforce recognition and employee incentives solution provider, is offering tips for strategically aligning and motivating sales teams in their newly released Performance Perspective, “How Sales Operations Teams Can Provide Value to CSOs.”
“Sales operation teams that keep reps focused on the big picture, while inspiring them to outperform rivals, represent a distinct competitive advantage,” said Mike Ryan, Madison Performance Group’s senior vice president of marketing and client strategy. “The best organizations can effectively motivate their sales teams with carefully designed and executed sales incentive programs.”
To motivate the company’s collective resources without losing sight of the overall mission, Madison recommends three tips for designing and executing sales contests:
1. Maintain sales focus by filtering all incentive offerings;
2. Create and sustain a winning sales process by rewarding behavior; and
3. Grow the sales force by incenting all team members including “core” performers.
“The chief sales officer must manage a wide range of interconnected issues, but maintaining strategic alignment and ongoing motivation of the sales force are most important,” added Ryan.
