How do you encourage your employees out on road to get sales leads?

Resolved Question

How do you encourage your employees out on road to get sales leads?

Without paying them extra, it should really be a part of their job.

Review their compensation model.

If you want employees to sell, you need to ensure that a large part of their compensation is tied to their sales. So give them a small base salary and a large commission portion; that will make them try to sell more.

You can also make use of non financial incentives - such as recognizing an employee who has made a good sale, or has taken an account away from a competitor - and give them recognition before their peers. Call a general company meeting and acknowledge the employee, then give him/her a coveted parking space, or a small gift card, whatever. You will be pleasantly surprised how effective such non-monetary incentives can be. People always love being recognized before their colleagues - use that to your advantage and benefit. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
