THE AKERS ALVES GROUP, LLC
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Create bold yet realistic goals for your business. We often find that there is a discrepancy between a company's goals and the employee's compensation. We believe that compensation plans can stay in line with your company's overall financial needs, while demonstrating appreciation for the contributions of individual people. We find that employees who feel valued, are much more willing and likely to perform above and beyond the set expectations. We'll help you align your financial goals and compensation plans, which typically results in a better financial outcome. You don't have to lower your prices or offer discounts in order to sell more. We take the time to learn about your company, the products or services, and overall goals. Once we get an overview, we'll develop a plan to help you improve conversions, often using existing resources. This typically includes overcoming sales objections, reducing the overall sales cycle and identifying key factors that set you apart from the competition.
