Is Fee Erosion Eating Away at Your Profits?

If your margins are shrinking and you’re struggling to maintain profitability, your sales team might be part of the problem. Fee erosion in sales recruitment is a silent profit killer that many businesses don’t even realise they’re facing. The wrong hire—whether it's someone who offers discounts too readily or fails to close high-value deals—can cost your company far more than just their salary.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Smarter hiring decisions can protect your profits while driving growth. At Coburg Banks, we specialise in finding sales professionals who don’t just sell—they sell smart. Let’s explore how we can help you combat fee erosion and protect your bottom line.

Why Poor Sales Hires Lead to Fee Erosion

Hiring the wrong salespeople isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. Poor performers often resort to discounting as a quick fix to close deals, which directly impacts your revenue. Here’s why:

• Discount dependency: Instead of selling on value, underperformers often cut fees to secure business.
• Missed opportunities: They’re less likely to identify and close high-value deals.
• Damaged brand reputation: Consistent fee reductions can make your products or services appear less valuable.

These issues add up, creating a ripple effect that harms your business’s long-term sustainability. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to rethink your recruitment strategy.

The Struggles of Hiring Without a Strategic Approach

Before working with a recruitment specialist like Coburg Banks, many companies rely on generic hiring strategies that fail to deliver the right candidates. This often leads to:

• High turnover: Salespeople who don’t fit your company culture or goals are less likely to stick around.
• Wasted resources: Time and money spent on training and onboarding the wrong hires.
• Stalled growth: Without the right team, achieving revenue and profit targets becomes a challenge.

The impact of these hiring mistakes can linger for months—or even years—making it crucial to adopt a smarter, more strategic approach to sales recruitment.
