What are sales incentives? Sales incentives can be any kind of compensation or reward provided by an employer to drive productivity, more specifically, the selling of goods or services. And sales incentives have evolved over the last 25 years, as all things to do. If you could take a time machine back to the 1990s and join a sales team, there would be a 25 percent chance that your compensation package would include some kind of non-cash reward.

Good fuel, variety, repetition, exercise, follow-up: Are you working all of these into your educational programs? The more you know about what’s actually going between your attendees’ ears, the better chance you have of educating them in a way that makes the learning stick. That was the message of immunologist and science educator Dr. Frederic Bertley at the American Society of Association Executives’ annual conference in mid-August.

“You can’t make people change. But you can create an environment where they choose to.” —Seth Godin, Leadership. Change is hard. And you can’t make people change. However, meetings have tremendous potential to change lives. Attendees have something in common: a profession, a passion, a shared experience together. They are with people who, in some way, do what they do, speak the same language, and face the same challenges.

One of the biggest misconceptions about company loyalty and employee retention is that he or she is loyal because they have worked for the company for many years and thusly advocate the employee brand. This is the first mistake that most companies and business professionals make. An employee who has been working for your company for a long time are not necessarily loyal, nor do they necessarily buy into the company’s ethos or support its growth goals.

You are planning your wedding, a family reunion or another event that will include out of town guests. Maybe your church or another organization is planning a retreat or team building activity and would like participants to stay together in one location. Renting an AirBnB or similar property may be the perfect solution. Short term rentals have taken the market by storm, often allowing travelers more flexibility than that offered by a hotel.

And quite honestly, that tends to happen with politics and everything else. No matter where we turn, the simplest things that surround us are, in some way, shape or form, tied to politics.
