As stated before my best success comes from finding customers who are not in the market!

Measuring Reps Activity

Just curious: Does your company have a required number of calls per day for each sales rep? If so, what is it? How is it measured? Do phone calls count? What if they leave a voice mail, does that count? How about direct mail, does that count? Do customers count, or only prospects? All input is greatly appreciated!
