44: 3 Reasons I Hate Sales Quotas w/ Dale Dupree


Listen Later

When we set sales quotas for our reps, we’re creating a system that prioritizes box-checking and number-crunching. The problem isn’t that reps don’t learn that system.

The problem is they do.

Guess what happens when another company offers your rep a slight bump in base pay? They leave, because it was *always* all about the numbers.

On this episode of the B2B Sales Show, co host Dale Dupree gives 3 reasons you need to get rid of sales quotas.

Dale, a.ka., the Copier Warrior, is the Founder of The Sales Rebellion, and also hosts another podcast called the Selling Local podcast.

What we talked about:

  • Why Dale hates sales quotas
  • Sales quotas limit the full potential of your reps 
  • Sales quotas create boundaries between management and reps
  • Sales quotas punish reps
