If we’re not selling, money isn’t coming in, and if money isn’t coming in, there is no business. While holding salespeople accountable is fair, are we as businesses doing everything we can to help them get to their goals?
Not everyone can be a successful salesperson. A good sales team complements one another and consist of individuals who have the inventiveness, capacity, and tenacity to approach and close a sale. Don’t put your sales team together lightly. Invest time in finding the right people for the job.
Training is the next piece of the puzzle. Making sure your sales teams are well trained to sell on behalf of your company. Many organizations committed to excellence have one thing in common – they are dedicated to investing in the people who represent their brand. Training in different forms, from strategic to technical, along with rewards that incorporate a learning model is a great way to make sure everybody wins!
For inbound leads, sales teams need systems, processes, and tools to do their jobs efficiently, especially when they are on the road. Ensure they have access to product information, as well as updated pricing and inventory information, in real time. For outbound teams, ensure they have qualified leads, target profiles, clear priorities, and the technology they need to nurture and feed content into their prospecting.
When all this information is available in a format that works across devices, remotely, your sales teams will spend a lot less time looking for information and more time making sure the customer requesting it has it. This spells more effective conversions.
