Sales Force Load Balancing

Sales Force Load Balancing: A fancy name for the process of putting your best sales people where they can do their best job and make you more money.

Sales professionals and their employers have an equally demanding set of mutual expectations. Businesses expect big (and often fast) results from their sales staff, while sales pros expect their employers to set them up in situations where there’s a realistic chance of meeting and exceeding goals.

Both variables in the sales/employer equation are often quick to cut ties when things don’t go well, so this is why we tend to see a lot of movement in the profession. In fact, a recent Manpower study found that sales jobs are the second-hardest positions to fill in the U.S., coming in behind skilled trades. This phenomenon is particularly evident in B2B environments, where sales team members often need to have specialized product or industry knowledge in order to be successful.
