2. Working with and motivating millennials can be a big challenge for some businesses. Try understanding the world from their perspective. They were raised believing they could have anything they wanted, as long as they wanted it badly enough. No one ever told them they would have to work really hard to get it. They were all rewarded equally with participation trophies. How could they know that only the top performers would be rewarded in the workplace? There are many other good reasons why millennials are the way they are. They were brought up this way, and it is not their fault.

Do you really care how many calls they make as long as they exceed your growth goals? Why not track their new closed business instead?
