Written by Willard Michlin


Continued from page 1

Howrepparttar compensation is done: For this project to be successful and actually pay for itself,repparttar 136514 sales applicant needs to be hired under very specific financial conditions. They need to be hired on a draw + commission. This means that they get a low amount of money weekly for a certain period of time and if they do well, they should be producing enough sales to repay their draw and start making money quickly, for themselves as well asrepparttar 136515 company. How this is worked out is key torepparttar 136516 success ofrepparttar 136517 project. If this is not worked out correctly, sales people will either not start, not produce and stay too long and drainrepparttar 136518 company or quit before their training is effectively completed.

The mastery ofrepparttar 136519 conversation: A successful sales person requires one skill above all others. This isrepparttar 136520 ability to guide and control a conversation. If he or she can guide and control a conversation, it is then possible to continue to try to interestrepparttar 136521 customer and be successful at it.

For a salesperson to do this one action well, an in-depth 3-day training onrepparttar 136522 basics of conversation and how to guide and control a conversation, is vital. Communication between people (conversation) have very certain and definite laws, which if followed, puts a sales person in total control of a conversation without makingrepparttar 136523 other person feel like they are being controlled!

Drillingrepparttar 136524 sales patter: Afterrepparttar 136525 sales applicants have successfully masteredrepparttar 136526 art of controlling a conversation, they now need to be drilled onrepparttar 136527 successful sales patter. If a full day is devoted to drilling them on this and they are drilled to a point where they easily and smoothly deliver their patter, without referring to notes or becoming tongue-tied or embarrassed, then and only then, will they be ready forrepparttar 136528 next step.

Get them out selling: Afterrepparttar 136529 above steps are completed and your sales people are ready to ‘hitrepparttar 136530 streets’, they should be divided up into groups of 3 to 5 people with one of them beingrepparttar 136531 sales manager ofrepparttar 136532 group. They are then sent out to find customers and deliver their pitches (sales patter).

This should be done in such a way that there is not great pressure onrepparttar 136533 sales people forrepparttar 136534 first few days. Tell them to go out and practice on any customer they find. The objective is to get them comfortable delivering their patter.

They are given realistic targets to achieve and when they flub and do not get results, they are corrected and sent back out byrepparttar 136535 person that is overall in charge of this project.

Failures: Not all will make it through this line-up. Correct them as much as possible and if they cannot make it, turn them loose and concentrate onrepparttar 136536 others that are making it. Asrepparttar 136537 sales manager you also need to work on starting new groups throughrepparttar 136538 process. Continue these steps until you have allrepparttar 136539 sales people you need to really boostrepparttar 136540 company sales.

Personnel: The number of sales force trainers required to trainrepparttar 136541 company sales manager on this procedure and help him build his sales force is only 2 people. They will need to work inrepparttar 136542 company for 30 days. One of these would berepparttar 136543 person overall in charge ofrepparttar 136544 project. He or she createsrepparttar 136545 sales advertisements, getrepparttar 136546 people in, doesrepparttar 136547 tests on them, interviews them and decide which ones to hire. This person also doesrepparttar 136548 corrections. The assistant doesrepparttar 136549 conversation-control training;repparttar 136550 successful sales patter drilling and helprepparttar 136551 lead trainer withrepparttar 136552 corrections ofrepparttar 136553 sales teams.

Summary: An effective sale teams can be built that pays its own way, enhancesrepparttar 136554 company sales and increasesrepparttar 136555 value of any business. The key to it all is having a hiring method and training program forrepparttar 136556 sales people that followsrepparttar 136557 exact laws involved in guiding and controlling a conversation.
