Why Weekly Sales Meetings Matter

Most of the sales staff in your company, especially those who work for straight commission pay, would rather do just about anything than attend weekly sales meetings. If these employees have been forced in previous positions to be there and are still having difficulties closing sales and have a never-ending complaint that they don't get sufficient support from other departments, their reluctance is understood.
