tracked and rewarded. Everyone will sell more furniture if they each have access to the award-winning training.

I love the site, but how can I motivate my employees to use the website?
Most sales people will quickly discover that the website actually helps them sell more. For really reluctant sales teams, retailers tell us that
they hold contests to motivate their sales staff. They offer bonuses to the sales person who sells the most during a given period of time. To
participate in the contest, the sales person must complete a certain amount of progress in the training.
