Hi Vanessa,
My experience (20++ years in sales) is that motivationalmost always has to come from within. You can throw all the money,perks, bonuses you can afford but the person has to have a need to excel. It can be that they have bills to pay, a spouse to appease or kids on the way, but they have to want to work. That being said, it is, in part,your job to see what motivates. Not everybody just wants money, some are very motivated by praise, others by material bonuses (think extra days off, gifts, gift card to a favorite place), some by jobpromotions. I do in depth personality tests before hiring salespeople and find it invaluable. Won't hire without it.

In the insurance P&C world, I've not found anyone who's able to point to a significant benefit, especially if you actually try to calculate ROI. There's always something to be said for keeping your name in front of people but there are easier and less expensive ways to do that. Email is free and setting up a table at local events is pretty low cost. In the end, I'm sure the answer varies greatly depending on what you're selling.
