Here are a few
Frequently Asked Questions
that
our clients ask...
Q. Why do our team
of 16 reps always seem happy just to meet but
not exceed their monthly target?
A.
We call this "cruise control" mode when your
sales people have no real incentive or motivation to break
monthly targets. Sometimes
this is the fault of the representatives but usually changes to the
"management"
of the team yield instants results.
Q. My sales guys
have an "us and them" mentality when dealing
with our administration staff and it
is causing internal
headaches. What can I do?
A.
Friction between sales personnel and
administration staff is very common. Some sales people especially
"closers" can have an abrasive
manner and upset lower paid administration staff. Here we need to
reinforce
the team mindset of the sales team and realise that the promises they
make to clients can only occur with
the help of the head office staff.
Q. Our firm
decided to give our sales teams in Brisbane,
Perth and Melbourne a 10% lift in their weekly
take home pay but
it didn't work. What did we do wrong?
A.
Motivation, particularly motivation of sales
teams is a bit of a science. We know that whilst some people are
motivated by cash others
want acknowledgement, status etc. All Sales Training Australia
mentoring programs
are tailored to the "motivational keys" of the individuals in
any sales team.
Q. I've been
recently promoted to a sales management role
with a well known manufacturing group
with exposure to most of
Australia and New Zealand but I am apprehensive as to how to control
my team of 45 sales consultants.
A.
It sounds as though a session with our firm is
all you need to boost your confidence. We will help you to
establish client call
schedules, canvassing areas, sales representative reporting requests and incentive
programs.
