Frequently asked questions

How is a sales employee's appraisal decided?+

Mainly on achievement against targets for revenue, units or collections, plus factors like new customer acquisition, margin and conduct.

Should incentives be part of the appraisal letter?+

Mention the target incentive and refer to the incentive plan; the detailed slabs are usually in a separate plan document.

What if a salesperson missed target due to market factors?+

The review can consider documented market conditions, but the letter should still record actual achievement transparently.
