I need some advice on how to motivate staff at a satellite location. As many of you know, we sell and install marine electronics. The mothership is doing fantastic, and always has. But I can't figure out how to motivate people at our satellite locations. We've tried bonuses. Have incredible pay and benefits. Have processes and expectations clearly outlined, with regular meetings to make sure everybody is on the same page.
It seems like I need somebody onsite with a real stake in the business, like an owner. I have not tried giving away equity but an certainly willing to explore that option.
We only have one satellite location now in FL, but had another in NJ that we closed a year into it. These locations have a service manager, bookkeeper/assistant, and 3 to 4 techs installing marine electronics.
Any tips?
