Their process was known as the â€Å"Commitment Process† which aligns the interests of the individual and company harmoniously and incentive sales people to stretch their performance and maximize sales results; this resulted in low turnover rate and the employees felt that they were valued employees. In Ayame’s position it would be to her benefit to find a company with these values or convince management to change their style or they would lose her as an employee and others who might feel the same way.
