Recruiting Salespeople on an Incentive Basis
How can we recruit salespeople on an incentive basis? There will be no fixed salary. The salary will be based on targets. If a salesperson achieves less than the target, there will be a proportionate salary deduction.
For example, if we set a target of Rs. 1,50,000 for a salary of Rs. 35,000 and the salesperson achieves Rs. 1,10,000, the end-of-the-month salary will be calculated as 1,10,000/1,50,000 x 35,000.
Kindly provide suggestions on how we can recruit a sales team using this method.
