There is a common belief that sales force turnover is always a bad thing. I’ve even read several articles supporting this point of view. Well, I am here to say that some sales force turnover is a good thing. Anytime someone leaves, it affords you the opportunity to upgrade your talent.

Most people understand that marketing is key in how well sales performs, but the service organization is even more important. And the problem is that most organizations try to use service as a key component of their competitive strategy yet few actually deliver anything but mediocre service.
