Results  Driven Sales Management®

​

Managing a sales force isn’t like managing any other department. Lack of sales management effectiveness is a huge issue in many organizations.

Without effective sales management, goals are too often missed, and gross profit is less than it should be. Having an effective manager can be the most significant factor in a seller’s success.

Without it, sales results wane, and goals are missed.

This program involves 10 skill sets that sales managers need to bring about maximum results from their team

The program provides 10 months of blended learning with online training for a different topic each month, followed by a face-to-face training session, which may be virtual or in person.

The training is not sales training. Instead, it provides the tools, framework, knowledge, and skills to recruit, hire and manage your salespeople, so they get significantly greater results for your organization.

•  There are four strategies that you need to address in your sales training plan.

5.Key Performance Indicators

Key Take Away​

​

It is a lot less difficult and much more effective if you manage your salespeople “by the numbers,” which refers to using measurable results for sales and sales-related activities for your evaluations.

​

•  Managing without measurements means you are unable to compare your salespeople’s results to a goal 

•  Key Performance Indicators act as an early warning system indicating potential sales behavior issues

• There are 5 elements that help you create a management plan by the numbers.

• Without KPI's you lose the competitive edge within your team

​

•  Properly structured meeting  with your salespeople gives you the performance edge you seek

•  Use these meetings to prioritize and direct your salespeople’s activities.

​

​

7. Prospecting Calls

Key Take Away​

​

Having your salespeople make prospecting calls to prospects is a great low-cost way for them to schedule sales appointments.

​

• The responsibilities of your sales team should include making some minimum number of prospecting calls 

• The overall results from prospecting calls by most salespeople are often less than desirable because they are not following some basic guidelines.

​

8. Selling Steps

Key Take Away​

Many Sales Managers have not defined the most effective selling steps. This limits your team's performance. Once defined the Results-Driven Sales Manager can then manage the behaviors that drive the numbers much more effectively.

​

• There are ways to improve the results of underperforming salespeople

• You must understand how to define the underperformers whom you can develop for higher achievement

• You must know why and when to upgrade (replace) your underperforming salespeople.

​

10. Hiring Great Salespeople

Key Take Away​

​

Hiring salespeople is more difficult than hiring most other types of employees because so many of the candidates are good at selling you on what they can do. As a result, it’s incredibly easy to select the wrong person for a sales position.

​

• If you hire the wrong salespeople, your organization will pay a steep price in lost sales opportunities

• There are well-defined traits and competencies of great salespeople that you must know in order to choose the best candidate

• Hiring based on experience as a priority is often a huge mistake and must be avoided
