Performance Evaluation
Why Are Appraisals So Important?
This answer to this question may seem obvious. Yet, surprisingly, many firms do not have a formal performance evaluation or appraisal process in effect for their salespeople. More often than not, sales quota attainment is the sole tangible measurement of a salesperson's performance. Although critically important, quotas offer only one dimension of evaluating the value of an individual to your company.

A strong producer's consistent record of sales and profit contributions won't always illuminate such issues as:
- How well suited is the individual for future management positions?
- Does this individual contribute to a positive sales team environment?
- What are the individual's strengths and weaknesses?
- What compensation changes should you consider?
Even within companies that believe in formal personnel appraisal and performance systems, management frequently evaluates salespeople by the same criteria they use for administrative, operations or support personnel. We don't think that this makes sense.
