Clear Link

I'd like to nominate CLEARLINK as an organization that has found a good balance of being innovative in our sales philosophy while not losing sight of our people being our most valuable asset. Recently, one particular incentive that stands out as exemplifying this is each of our individual teams designed and incentive program that focuses on achieving sales results. Based on the team's performance in meeting those metrics, the money earned by achieving those results went back to CLEARLINK employees that were in need over the holiday season. The sales teams efforts assisted families in being able to provide Christmas for their families, meals, and more. As a company, we are continually looking for ways to raise the bar in performance metrics, giving back to our internal and external community and taking care of our people.
