In Episode 32 we get real about incentivizing people. If you think incentive trips are a "boondoggle," you are wrong. Dead wrong!

It's incredible what the research shows incentives do for both the bottom line of your business AND the CULTURE. It isn't just about the sales team either if that's what you're thinking... this is a marketing tool that works both internally and externally for businesses that we should all know more about.

On this episode we learn the true value of the role marketing has in incentivizing performance across the company. If your company no longer has an incentive program, for sure you'll want to re-visit that after listening to this episode because it will pay dividends.
