Hi!
I would like to comment on this habit that my company has and see if all companies are the same (I hope not)
Normally my company presents cycles in the year where our products fall in sales and at the beginning of the year they increase again (the company sells supplements for offices of all kinds) My bosses believe that after the sales commission, the vendors "lose their spirits". However, based on my experience, I believe that it is simply that at the beginning of the year they buy what they need for the whole year, so we must expand the customer portfolio or the product portfolio for ones with higher turnover.
Response from my boss "if that is so, I think it is best to cut the sales commissions so they have to sell more and the budget of the marketing area since we do "nothing" after March".
And it is already the second company that when sales drop the area to which they cut is marketing and sales when you should inject more. Opinions?
