Kinda curious to hear others’ thoughts on this — we recently onboarded a couple of new salespeople and during the first week, our manager kept throwing in some motivational quotes during the morning syncs. At the same time, they knew there was a bonus system waiting if they hit target. One of the new folks really responded to the quotes — kept referencing them during calls — while the other seemed more fired up after we explained the bonus structure. It made me wonder: which actually motivates beginners more — money or mindset?

That’s a good question. I’ve seen both sides of it too. One guy I trained last year didn’t react at all to financial incentives, but when I shared a few lines from a list of [sales motivation](https://www.sembly.ai/blog/best-sales-motivational-quotes/)
ideas I came across, something just clicked. He literally wrote one of them on a sticky note and stuck it to his monitor. It gave him the mindset shift he needed to start pushing harder. So yeah, I think quotes aren’t just fluff — when used right, they hit deeper than money sometimes. But it depends on the person, of course.
