Are
Your Salespeople Engaged in Their Work?
The best way to generate revenue is to
have a sales team that is happy and engaged in their work. If
sales managers know how their salespeople feel about their job
they can make changes accordingly.
Goal Based Selling Motivates Salespeople
How can sales managers motivate their
sales team? True motivation must come from within, but knowing
what motivates each and every salesperson is key to setting
goals.
Effective Prospecting Puts an End to Cold Calling
Cold calling is inefficient and ineffective.
Running an effective prospecting campaign should be a joint
effort between marketing and sales, yet most salespeople are
left to do this on their own.
Giving Bad Customers the Pink Slip
Not all business is good business. “Firing”
bad customers leaves time to nurture and grow your good and
great customers. You might even find time to go out and find
new customers.
Generating Leads Without Conflict
Is sales a part of marketing or is marketing
a part of sales? Understanding what it means to prospect can
bring clarity to this age-old management territory debate.
Hiring is the Key to a Good Sales Staff
Prospecting
skills are different than other selling skills. When managers
hire salespeople they often look for someone who has a history
of meeting or exceeding quota, or a good closer. Many managers
then wonder why the heavy hitter they hired is sitting around
waiting for leads.
Time Management Critical in Sales
Time management is an ongoing challenge
for everyone. Since most salespeople like prospecting least,
they leave it until last and don’t give it the attention
it deserves.
Coaching
Can Change Sales Culture
Most sales managers spend only 20% of
their time coaching their salespeople to close business. Every
chief executive in America should change their sales culture
to make certain sales managers can spend 80% of their time coaching.
