Fixing the Root Causes Behind Rogue Salespeople

Paul Hunt, the President of Pricing Solutions, Exposes the Real Problems Behind Rampant Discounting in the Field

It's all too easy to observe rampant discounting in the field and conclude that "rogue" salespeople are the source of the problem. But out-of-control discounting and high numbers of exception requests are often just symptoms of other issues. In this expert interview with Paul Hunt of Pricing Solutions, you will learn:

  • Why so many companies believe they have a problem with their sales force...and why they are so often wrong.
  • The two big problems that are often at the heart of rampant discounting and high numbers of exception requests.
  • How to position changes to the underlying pricing architecture so that salespeople can recognize personal benefits.
  • How to diagnose the real problems and get management support and buy-in for the necessary corrective actions.
