Setting Realistic Sales Targets That Motivate, Not Discourage
The wrong target hurts
Random or inflated targets lose credibility and get ignored. Low targets leave latent performance untapped. A good target balances ambition and realism.
The basis of a sound target
- Build it on historical performance and market potential.
- Split it fairly across territories and reps.
- Make it measurable and track it weekly.
- Tie it to clear incentives on achievement.
Follow-up makes the difference
A target without follow-up is a wish. When the rep sees progress toward their target live, they adjust effort in time. Data-based targets lift performance without discouragement.
