Implementing a successful sales incentive program to motivate employees to sell more requires a clear understanding of the 3 R’s of promotions and the formula P = M x K x P.

What is a promotion? It is part of the marketing mix and is used to increase the desire to sell, create enthusiasm, educate, provide an element of persuasion, and provide a reason for the employees to sell aside from the product benefits.

What is an incentive? It is an integral part of the promotion designed to create a behavioral change, prompt action and reward for “additional” effort. It is not meant to be compensation, rather generate motivation.

So, what are the 3 R’s of an promotional program?
You can usually break down any group of sales employees into 3 major groups. The first “R” stands for Recognition. The top 10% of your group are high achievers, highly motivated and the best sellers who are easily motivated to sell more through incentives and recognition. They provide the greatest return on any incentive program.

The next “R” stands for Reward. 40% of your employees will be motivated by the incentives and work harder to sell more to earn a reward. This group drives most of the increase in sales. However, the next 40% of your employees will not change their behavior at all, rather view the reward as a perk for doing their regular job – in other words, the incentive will not create a behavior change or drive more sales, but they are critical to the overall positive enthusiasm of the program.

The last “R” stands for Resume. This group, 10% of your employees, are the poor performers and are not motivated by the incentive program, in fact, usually complain about it.

By focusing your efforts on the top 50% of your employees, over time the gap between your high performers and the Resume group widens to the point where they usually seek another job knowing they do not have the skills to sell.

Now to put together a successful sales incentive program, you will also need to understand the formula P = K x M x P. I will talk on this in a future blog.
