Atricle Dump - Sales Training Programmes Rarely Provide A Proper Return On Investment
One of the big mistakes many businesses make when collecting business debts is not having a clear policy and timetable for dealing with debtors.Too often a debt can sit on the company books for weeks , even months after it became due because of lack of diligence on the part of the business owner.Large companies rarely suffer from this kind of mismanagement. If you have ever been on the receiving end of the large company process, you will know how the demands escalate to a serous level in a relatively short time.Ok, your company may not be in the multi-million conglomerate bracket but relatively speaking bad debt is a big problem and can kill the best companies if it isn't addressed in a timely manner.Large companies have a set procedure which usually starts with a statement. You should do the same. Always send statements to your customers at th

A life insurance agent sits across the dining room table from a couple. The couple is middle class with two children ages 2 and 10. After conferring with the couple for 45 minutes the agent has designed a plan to protect the family against death of either the mother or father or both. The agent slides the proposal across the table to the parents. The parents glance at the proposal and see that the plan will cost them $50.00 a month. The couple hesitates then glances at each other.The agent observes the hesitation. He anticipates an objection and reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out 2 quarters, 2dimes, 3nickels and 4 pennies. He then puts the change on the table and states that “The children’s future will be protected in the event that a tragedy takes the life of one of you or both for a little over a dollar a day or a cup of coffee.” In sales, the next one t
To begin with, the one off programme may supply a short term motivational buzz and provide the delegate with a number of thought provoking ideas. However, in reality, once they are back at the “front-line” the day to day pressures of hitting quota etc take over again and the reactive mindset returns. It is rather like the Chinese meal effect; when you leave the restaurant you feel full but by the time you arrive home you want to eat again.
Secondly, most, not all, but a very high percentage of courses on offer today, deliver what I term “generalised” skills development.

You’ve probably heard the normal response to any bulk mail out in business ranges from 0.5% to 1% -- any more is often regarded as a very good result. You can increase the odds in your favour with savvy targeting.You see, this low ‘normal response’ is usually because the mail shot is sent to a list of names or contacts that is not qualified or targeted. It’s like taking a handful of seed and scattering them on the ground and hoping some will take root, before being eaten by the birds.‘PREPARING THE GROUND’You have to ‘sow’ your seeds in prepared ground and nurture them to increase the chances of growth. The same applies to the letters you send out and the adverts you place.TARGETING YOUR AUDIENCE MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCESelecting the right people and businesses to write to impacts dramatically on the results you get.Let me give

With lack of funding many schools are forced to shut down programs that have been in place for decades. Lack of funding has required that parents or groups have had to step up to the plate and create ways of funding these programs that are needed to keep our young people busy doing constructive things. Youth fund raising has become a very popular way of raising money for projects that are not funded. With money raised, popular programs that keep the students busy are not having to be eliminated and the kids are able to participate in the fund raising event as well. This article will give some simple youth fund raising ideas and tips.Youth fund raising gives you the chance to help students and parents all work together for a common cause. The opportunity will give the students a chance to get to know others as well as teach them to work together as a group. You can

An ongoing challenge for many salespeople is the ability to ‘compartmentalize’ areas of their life. Let me explain.As a writer, it is important for me to be able to set aside all life challenges, issues and problems once I sit at my computer to create. This is often easier said than done. Let’s say your spouse just announced after 25 years of marriage he or she is leaving. Your car has just been repossessed and your teenager is in jail on drug charges. Not a pretty picture. Fortunately, none of us have this much hit us simultaneously. Anyway, the ability to keep these issues separate while you are trying to sell is vital.Salespeople who cannot separate their personal life challenges from their career responsibilities generally resonate their problems in some non-verbal or emotional way. We all have problems. We all will always have problems. If you don’t, g

When it comes to the discussion of money, rarely will you find a common ground between the employer and the employee. And, this is true even in the janitorial industry.Since labor is the largest single expense a business owner must face, employers strive to pay as little as possible. Basically, just enough to keep from quitting.On the other hand, employees want the highest pay possible. After all, they have to pay their rent, utilities, and other bills from what the employers pay them. And in return, they contribute just enough labor so as not to get fired.So, how do you bring together the ‘payer’ and the ‘payee’.It’s commonly accepted that the higher an employees wages, the more productive they will be. Conversely, the lower their pay, the less productive they will be. This is not always the cause, but more times than not, it stands true
For example, a guy operating within the aerospace sector, negotiating multi-million pound contracts can find himself sitting next to a young saleswoman who markets insurance policies and is based in a call centre. On her right is another guy who is developing a successful career in manufacturing, selling hydraulic components and next to him…..I think you will appreciate my point. To achieve sustained success in all of these disparate industries requires specific skills sets and the “generalised” workshops simply cannot deliver them.
Thirdly, most and again I would estimate it is at least 80% of training organisations today, make the assumption that all delegates are at the same level in terms of experience, expertise and have the same “commercial bandwidth”. This is of course, totally unrealistic.
