Our primary job is to increase sales for our products month after month and so let me narrate what has worked for us over the last 40 years. I started my career with Eureka Forbes Limited mid-eighties as a door to door salesman selling vacuum cleaners and earned mainly on commissions. I also enjoyed exciting gifts for clocking in qualifying sales in the first week of every month and various other rewards & recognition programs run by our dynamic sales manager Mr. Anil Ambo who also shaped my thought process. During the early nineties, I also read a book ‘How to motivate people’ by Michael Leboeuf where he talked about “Rewards: the greatest management principle in the world” further moulded me in running various programmes in my business for sales persons, managers, buyers, retailers and stockists.
If you are not getting the results you want, ask the magic question: “What’s being rewarded?” The things that get rewarded get done but more important is what needs to be rewarded so that you do not end up being short sighted as life is too long. Also, important here to highlight that no matter what the reward system is, a small percentage of people will perform brilliantly or poorly due to factors such as personal ability, needs, values etc., factors over which one has no control.
The reward and recognition system are the one key factor that can be controlled by you and most people will respond to it very positively helping you continuously increase your existing sales and thereby raising your market share. Please remember the bottom line that everybody works smarter when there is something in it for them. So, let us do our job of identifying a long-term reward and recognition strategy to keep everyone excited in the fun filled journey called life.
We can help build strong connections with your esteemed recipients namely consumers who can be end users, customers like trade partners, influencers, employees and business associates.
