Clayton Shold over at Saleopedia offers up some stunning survey results from a recent SalesDog.com survey.  Check this out (my emphasis):

Despite the job pressure, 70 percent of respondents reported being happy with their management, while 64 percent of those taking the survey said they felt adequately recognized for their achievements. A surprising 75 percent of respondents believe their management’s sales expectations or quotas are realistic.

I’m sitting here cruising at 70mph in Northern Minnesota as I write.  I should clarify that Lee is driving, I am geeking it up in the passenger seat.  We have been talking about these results for miles.

We often hear of how discontented workers are with their current roles and managers.  I suspect the fact that we are recruiters that we spend much of our time dealing with discontented salespeople looking for a new opportunity.  That fact skews our perspective.

These results are encouraging for the majority of sales managers who may have shared our perspective.
