Over-Aggressive Approach
The philosophical view or values of your business also dictate whether commissions make sense.
Commission incentives sometimes motivate staff to use an overly aggressive approach to secure business. While this approach may lead to strong short-term sales results, you can also drive away prospects and customers turned off by high-pressure tactics. Some companies use a relatively small commission percentage, especially in retail environments, to balance the motivational advantages of commissions while limiting the potential for over-aggressiveness.
