Team - As a sales manager I was in the process of looking through the sales report of last two quarters. Sales have reduced by 25% in total over two consecutive quarters. Gross sales are down from $50000 to $37000. Owing to this reduced performance CFO has taken a decision to cut the base pay and commission by 15% with effect from the next quarter. Please note that it is important for us as a sales team to meet the budgeted figures which in turn helps in the overall growth of the company.
