The purpose of this PIP is to address the Employee's recent performance issues in meeting sales targets and to provide a structured opportunity for improvement. This PIP was developed with the Employee's involvement where possible. It is not punitive and provides a reasonable opportunity for the Employee to improve performance.

By outlining clear expectations and timelines this PIP aims to support the Employee in achieving the required standards and contributing effectively to the team's goals.

The Company is committed to supporting the Employee's success through this PIP.

The Company will provide access to additional sales training workshops one-on-one coaching sessions with a mentor and necessary resources such as updated sales tools and performance tracking software to facilitate improvement.

This PIP shall become effective on 2023-10-01 (the "Effective Date").

The duration of this PIP shall be 60 days from the Effective Date unless extended or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms herein.

The performance issues addressed by this PIP are the Employee's failure to meet sales targets and related quality issues in sales reporting. These issues have been documented in prior warnings as follows: (1) verbal warning on 2023-08-15 regarding missed sales quota; (2) written warning on 2023-09-10 for both missed quota and reporting errors.

There have been 3 incidents demonstrating the current performance issues: (1) On 2023-08-20 the Employee achieved only 75.5% of the monthly sales target (target: 100%); (2) On 2023-09-15 the Employee submitted a client report with multiple factual errors leading to a lost opportunity worth $5,000; (3) On 2023-09-28 the Employee again achieved only 78% of the sales target with an error rate of 12% in associated reports.

The primary objectives that the Company sets for the Employee's improvement in this PIP are to meet or exceed sales targets and to improve accuracy in customer data entry and reporting.

The specific performance area outlined for the Employee is Sales Performance.

The Employee is expected to achieve a minimum of 100 percent of their monthly sales quota with at least 95 percent accuracy in customer data entry and reporting while maintaining timely follow-ups on leads.

The method to be used for measuring the Employee's performance against the expected standard is Quantitative Metrics including sales reports and CRM data.

The Employee must fully meet this performance goal by 2023-11-30 (within 60 days of the Effective Date).

Successful completion requires meeting or exceeding the sales quota for two consecutive months with no more than 5 percent error rate in reports as verified by monthly performance reviews.
