I once worked for a short while at a place where they published everybody in the company's monthly sales in order to embarrass the people with fewer sales, and I honestly thought that little bit was too abusive.

I guess I was naive. And I guess I'm not cut out for sales.

Sales environments are such hotbeds of abuse. They want the most competitive assertive bullies they can get. Then they wonder why everyone hates salespeople.

Think about the best way to construct a sales team. Commission with elevated commission for meeting targets, sales interactions with product team to prioritize features.
