Hiring Sales People

As you probably have learned, employee turnover can be a costly problem. The sales industry is a highly competitive field, and many sales people know they can easily find another lucrative offer if they choose to depart from their current employer. With as much as you've invested in recruiting, hiring and training your sales staff, it's wise to do whatever is necessary to keep good people once you've invited them into your organization.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to retain outstanding employees is through fair practices. Employees deserve to be treated with respect, and it is the responsibility of management and corporate leadership to uphold the standard. This includes taking appropriate corrective action when employees are not maintaining the same high standard.

Treat your employees fairly by paying commissions on time and ensuring each sales person hired understands the details of the compensation plan. If changes are made to the pay structure, announce these changes in advance--don't let the employee learn about it by reviewing his or her commission check. Explain reasons for the change and ask for input from your sales people whenever possible.
