    Why Appraising Performance Regularly Against Relevant Criteria Is So Important
    A company’s performance appraisal process is critically important. It answers the two questions that every member of an organisation wants to know:• What do you expect of me?• How am I doing at meeting your expectations?Regular assessments and appraisals are essential if individuals are to continually expand their “skills set” and should deliver three key benefits for an organisation:• A clear career path for progression (which typically seems to motivate salespeople who operate in a business-to-business environment)• Evidence of the return on investment made in developing people so organisations are encouraged to sustain ongoing development• A clear benchmar

    Direct Mail – Not What it Used to Be
