Perform daily little morning meeting with the employees and know the overall summary. Other than that having weekly meetings for the sales are beneficial. Also auditing on monthly basis are helpful. Always be in touch with the employees.

See first the expenses in meeting Sales Goals - Marketing Budget + Sales & Marketing Peoples Cost + Incentives [not exact figures, ofcourse Cost to Company]. Now compare this with the Sales Achievement. Every month produce a report - involving HR & Accounts. You will get the result.

My personal rule of thumb is sales & marketing goal should be400%(minimum) of their historical cost. In reverse, the total all-in sales & marketing cost should be25% (maximum based on previously achieved marks) of the sales goals.
