I own a sales outsourcing company and maximizing revenue/results from each of my reps is at the core of my company strategy. We focus our energy on making each rep better in all aspect of their sales life. Not by seminars but by strength and weakness meetings. Those of us with strengths in one area work with those who don't and visa versa. Best Regards, Eric Durant Mark,

We edited the numbers and tried to make it easier to read, and in the process lost the bubble. It's good to see you focused on the idea, not the flawed math. Thanks, Chris, Producer of Unconventional Thinking Ron,

Great point, though. Small, regular increases that are the result of singles and doubles usually outperform the occasional home run. Mark,
