I noticed that most Nigerian employees just want to sit and get paid after every 30 days, soon as I give them a target they run from the job, during interviews they run their mouth and talk confidently, but soon as I say their pay is based on how productive they are(I have a particular ratio), I wont see them again. I still do not understand how they expect to get paid without being productive, I am willing to pay between 30k to 100k yet it seems something is wrong, have any of you solve this problem?

There is nothing wrong with setting targets to sales personnel, provided they are reasonable and mutually beneficial to both the organization and the sales personnel. Take note of the words REASONABLE and MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.
If your sales targets take into consideration these two crucial factors, those who are willing and ready will stay and work. In the end, both employer and employee will smile. This also applies to other fields apart from sales.
The first basic rules is: Can I meet these targets myself, given the same circumstances, background, abilities, training as my staff? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Thank you, I actually did most of my jobs myself to have real field experience before employing hands so I can set targets for them
