Motivating Staff Explained

If a workforce is motivated, success usually follows, which in turn inspires and further motivates the employees to yet further success. Successful companies go into a self-perpetuating motion that brings more and more success and the associated rewards.

Take a few moments now to think about one or two of the successful companies you know of and consider whether what I say is correct.

Hopefully you agree that high motivation is inseparable from success. By taking a conscious control of the level of employee motivation in your company you are assisting your staff to step outside of a comfort zone that may be condemning your company to stagnate through procrastination.

Direct Marketing Sales Letters, Turning Profitable Returns

1. It is almost mission impossible, to determine your return on investment right off. First determine what ultimately a lead will yield. An example. Use a 3 year total override yielding factor of your desired agent’s production. Next compute the worth of a producing insurance agent by assessing it against the value of acquiring this producer. Assuming a 1,000 piece direct mailing to salespeople has a total $600 expenditure. Also assume your sales mailer produces ten responses. Out of these responses, you contract four agents, and 2 of them write substantial business generating $4,600 in overrides. A very respectable and inspiring return indeed!
