This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

  • How to implement effective changes in sales force behavior?
  • Approach the simplicity and elemental parts of performance development.
  • Importance of realistic approach.

Begin With The Sales Leaders

Implementing training programs on salespersons can be challenging. One effective way to get it done is to begin with the sales leaders and sales managers training. It will allow the leaders to understand the process better and connect with salespersons empathetically. This way the sales manager will approach the team with motivational and educational perspectives.

Effective ways to improve salespersons’ behavior:

  • Studying the high performers of the business and developing a framework and training program that feels natural.
  • Approach the sales team with simplicity and regularly give minimal effective training.
  • Improve the elemental parts of the team and eliminate what is unnecessary.

Importance Of Realistic Approach

Set up realistic goals that can be achieved and do not burden your sales team. Forcing teams to join a coaching or training session for long hours without a coaching structure is not ideal. Instead, begin the coaching session earlier with the right pace and structure. Discuss fewer opportunities for longer hours to have better clarity. This way, your sales force will feel more relieved and understand that this process will help them do better. It will reduce their workload and make them more efficient. Plus, the commitment of the sales leader and manager makes the team feel more optimistic.
