Have you been doing sales wrong all along? Why basing sales on data and not just intuition is important? What are the challenges when working with different countries?

Key Takeaways:
• Commission should be there not to motivate salespeople to do the right thing, but as something that doesn't prevent them from it.
• If you want your sales team to believe in a new methodology, show them results.
• Allowing a sales team to work on one common goal with little supervision from a sales manager can change the way they think and bring you more profit.
