Sales Insights @ fourquadrant.com/go-to-market-charts-sales/ Today, the average sales organization loses about 17% of its sales force due to turnover. When promotions, internal moves and organizational growth are factored in, CSOs must be prepared to replace about 28% of sales full-time equivalents (FTEs) every year. While sales rep compensation is a common tool, it is not the only effective or even the most cost-efficient way to address talent shortages. Over 60% in Gartner's annual Global Labor Market Survey did not choose compensation as one of the top five reasons why they left their former employers. In other words, most sellers don’t even consider compensation among their top reasons to leave an organization. However, compensation does dominate their decision about which employer to join.

Also, sales reps might choose where to spend their time based on what they perceive as enjoyable or profitable. This results in inconsistent execution and subpar results. In fact, 77% of CSOs strongly agree that increasing seller scope is an obstacle to meeting commitments. Challenges to Performing Against Responsibilities A sales rep may get bogged down with challenges to performing against responsibilities. While this can overlap with the problem of having too many priorities, it is more specifically related to tasks or demands that are time-consuming or frustrating to complete. According to the 2015 Gartner Sales Complexity Assessment, two-thirds of surveyed sales professionals said they are somewhat to extremely frustrated by the demands of their job. Strategies for retaining sales talent provides sales insights about the most cost-effective strategies for retaining top sales people and why compensation might not be the best answer to retention challenges. ============================================= ADDITIONAL GO TO MARKET RESOURCES FROM FOUR QUADRANT Sales Insights @ fourquadrant.com/go-to-market-charts-sales/ QBR Planning Template @ fourquadrant.com/go-to-market-planning-templates/qbr-presentation-template/ Go to Market Resources @ fourquadrant.com Strategic Account Plan Template @ fourquadrant.com/go-to-market-planning-templates/strategic-account-plan-template/ Free Downloads @ fourquadrant.com/free-marketing-templates/ Sales Quick Reference Card @ fourquadrant.com/go-to-market-planning-templates/sales-marketing-quick-reference-card/
