Daily-deals provider Groupon is having a tough time keeping its salespeople happy, according to a new report.
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing sources, Groupon salespeople are increasingly looking for new jobs after becoming disgruntled with the way they're treated by their employer. The Journal sat down with Mike Silagadze, CEO of software firm Top Hat Monocle, who revealed that he has received "hundreds of resumes" from Groupon salespeople.
According to the Journal, the daily-deals provider has made it too difficult for its sales force, which accounts for nearly half of its more than 12,000 employees, to generate significant compensation. Groupon has also placed stricter demands on its salespeople. Years ago, Groupon made it easy for salespeople to generate six-figure incomes, the Journal's sources say, but now, they earn little until they hit monthly profit targets. Some folks have taken pay cuts amounting to thousands of dollars because of the changes, according to the Journal.
