Assignment: Sales Force Compensation

For companies that have a mission of selling, a major objective is to motivate the salespeople. While there are many factors that go into motivating these people, one of the primary factors is the compensation plan that describes how they will be rewarded.

1. In order to motivate the sales force to produce the highest number of clients, describe six (6) features (not to be confused with the total rewards components) of an effective total rewards program. Hint: See eligibility for sales compensation in the textbook.

2. Describe the behaviors of the sales force that are targeted with the compensation plan. See page 278 in the textbook.

3. Assess how a value proposition is achieved for current and future employees in the plan you have outlined. *In responding, consider this site, https://workology.com/employee-value-propositions-evp/
