SALES FORCE DEVELOPMENT
Sales Force Assessment
If you can be really honest with yourself , do you actually know how to measure who belongs on the team and who doesnt, other than looking at past performance or hoping for the best?
Six Crucial Areas for Sales Success:
- Evaluate the strength & weakness of the current sales
team
- Hire only the best by using very specific sales assessments
- Establish both base line & brass ring sales goals
- Hold everyone personally accountable ... includng yourself
- Use sales performance enhancers that boost momentum
- Understand the who and what before making training decisions
Most companies readily institute a comprehensive financial
audit to ensure strict adherence to company policy, as well
as provide a system of accountability. In the same spirit of insisting
on accountability and commitment, the Sales
Force Assessment is designed to give the organization an accurate snapshot of where they are and where they need to go.
Dynamics For Sales
Growth
Personal and Professional Development
Dynamics for Sales Growth is a systematic approach to business
development, focusing on the Sales Skills and most effective
processes to improve business development efforts. While most
sales training concentrates on technique or tactics, this program is a powerful combination that balances methodology with behavioral assumptions.
Let's face it, the sales techniques of the past are just
not working when pitted against today's professional purchasing
agents or well informed consumer. Most customers have unraveled
the standard pitches and insulated themselves from the power
of persistence. And most are deaf to the dance of enthusiasm
alone. Regaining control is the solution to handle today's
highly conditioned or professionally trained purchasers.
This program is for anyone who is frustrated or
annoyed with low closing percentages, giving
away free consulting, quotes that don't close and not meeting
profit goals.
Pre-Employment Profiling
Why wait months or years to find out the good news or the bad news?
Resumes, interviews and references can only take you so far in making a determination as to how someone will function in your sales environment. Assessments and profiles specific to sales adds a new dimension that yields a 94% success rate when following the recommendations, and a 75% failure rate when ignored.
Management of an organization's human capital starts
prior to hiring: Hire only individuals that possess
the characteristics needed for the job.
Know the motivators: Know if the candidate
has the drive, commitment, attitude and outlook to contribute to the overall success of the
company.
Understand the critical strengths and weaknesses: Employing
only people with the characteristics and attitudes to perform
the job, along with a proper cultural fit, decreases job stress
and increases job satisfaction and productivity.
Profiling is also recommended for existing employees so individuals
can maximize their potential within the organization through
improved understanding of themselves and how to best communicate
with co-workers, prospects, and customers.
Coaching
Don't waste time or money if you can't make it work ...
Course work is leveraged with one on one training
via email, phone or in person when practical throughout the engagement and after the classroom
work is done. One on one coaching magnifies the lessons learned
by rehearsing and reviewing "live" field opportunities
before and after you go before the client or prospect. The
only way to modify unsuccessful habits is to practice a more
productive behavior … and Growth Dynamics Coaching ensures
that performance continually improves over time.
Practice makes perfect: Product knowledge
alone does not get the job done. Before going "live",
know what you are going to do and say. Successful Selling
comes from preparation and practice before going into the
call.
Rehearse the Role before the Play: Identify
who you are dealing with and define the objective and plan
before the Sales Call. Rehearse with a Coach who can help
select the right approach and language to get through the
Buyer's filters and screens.
Coaching is for… everyone involved
in the sales or management process. Working with unbiased,
non-judgmental coaches ensures the best results possible.
The best athletes in the world use coaches to maintain their
high level of performance, from NFL Quarterback coaches to
Tiger Wood's swing coach. Coaching is not just for neophytes
or the unskilled!
