Ahead of its third-quarterly report as a public company, Groupon is facing new questions about its business model, and inability to retain sales people. “Any issues with its sales force are troublesome for Groupon, since salespeople form the backbone of the company,” The Wall Street Journal writes. According to WSJ, about 45% of the company's more than 12,000 employees are in sales, and they are responsible for signing up local businesses to offer daily deals and other products.
