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.
