Same Side Selling Academy > Captivate Podcasts > 167 | Avoid The Sales Quota Trap, Ian Altman

Sales quotas are meant to help businesses achieve incremental goals. But, if they become the primary focus for the seller to 'just close deals' without the client's best interest in mind, then you put so much at risk for your business.

I've seen too many sales professionals make rash decisions in order to meet a quota. For example, many might decide to offer huge, irresponsible discounts just so that they can close the deal before their incentive deadline hits.
