1 – Arrive too early for an appointment:
Since our earliest age, we were taught to be “ahead” to the call! Except that it can only be a few minutes. Beyond fifteen minutes, this upset the customer. Why? The customer can, after all, leave your “visitor-seller” wait! In fact, the discomfort is due to two reasons:

- The client knows that the seller is waiting and this can cause him discomfort, a kind of psychological pressure.
- The client may not appreciate someone “foreign” observed for many minutes all that is happening in the business, especially when the waiting room does not exist or is too isolated!

We all want to excel in sales. We all sell something and if we do not sell a product or service, we sell our ability to solve a problem. Most people do not excel in sales, not because they lack a gift or a natural talent, but because they lack knowledge and skills.

7. Establishing Efficient Work groups

What procedures are involved in establishing efficient work groups? To be efficient, work groups should be no larger than 10 sales professionals and are best managed with six or less. A manager or senior level person should appoint a Team Lead for the work group. It is the manager’s responsibility to set the initial goals of the work group and convey those goals to the Team Lead.

Management Set Goals Example:

The goals of the work group are:

  • Grow total new accounts within the work group by 10% over the next twelve months.
  • Increase revenue by 20% over the next 12 months.
  • Have a meeting twice a month to discuss new product launches and to share ideas. Each person should bring to the meeting his/her top 10 list. The list shall contain the10 most probable accounts to close over the next 30 days. The meeting is geared toward helping each participant close these ten accounts.
  • Discuss any issues of concern individuals may have, keeping negativity brief.
  • Create a once a week success email: each participant of the work group needs to share a success story each week on a pre-designated day agreed upon by the group.

4. Maintaining High-Performance

High-performance is a true commitment to excellence. A person demonstrating high performance standards works to accomplish all of his or her individual tasks at the highest level. And in most cases, strives to exceed the quota set by the work group or Team Lead. There are two performance standards we all face: those you set for yourself and those set for you. If you always work to set your standards higher than those set for you, you will achieve high performance. For instance, an internal sales work group decides to hold a meeting monthly to share ideas and learn about new product launches. The Team Lead takes the initiative to increase the standard by creating a weekly email, keeping team members abreast of changes on a weekly basis. By achieving this personal standard the Team Lead exceeds the standards set by management. Thus, he or she can be looked at as performing this task at high performance. To simplify, high-performance is: setting your goals higher than the goals set for you and working to achieve them consistently!

5. Implementing Work groups

Who should implement work groups? Work groups should be implemented by any organization committed to the growth of their intellectual property and aspiring to exceed revenue and profit goals. Sales professionals who desire to get more out of their careers should also push to initiate work groups internally.
