Gary provides 2 Recommendations for Team Engagement
Q&A Segment
- 00:29:28 – Question 01 – I have the monthly bonus based on collections. I can totally identify with the story you shared about team members essentially giving up on the bonus during months when the doctor is on vacation time. How do I stop this from happening?
- 00:35:01 – Question 02 – Under this system, how do you recommend handling vacation time for team members?
- 00:38:20 – Question 03 – I have had bonus systems in the past and, frankly, have not had a great experience. Help convince me why a bonus might be helpful.
- 00:42:14 – Question 04 – I know this sounds crazy. But I have a couple of team members that are not motivated by money. How can I create engagement with these team members?
