The Cost of Losing Your Top Sales People: Employee Retention, Culture, and Sales Targets

💸 Replacing a top sales rep costs more than you think.

Losing top talent isn’t just about filling a vacant seat—it’s about lost revenue, missed opportunities, and cultural disruption.

Consider the impact:
🔹 Revenue loss—Top reps contribute far beyond quota. Losing them means losing deals, pipeline, and customer trust.
🔹 Cultural impact—When high-performers leave, it shakes team morale and can create a ripple effect of disengagement.
🔹 Hidden costs—Hiring, onboarding, and ramping up new talent is expensive and time-consuming.

So what’s the solution? Retention through intelligent leadership. In this episode of Growth Driver, Helen Fanucci breaks down what it takes to keep top talent engaged, motivated, and thriving in their roles.

Smart leaders know that reducing friction, fostering growth, and recognizing contributions isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a strategic advantage.
