Will You Add? - Sales Managers Need To Be Adept Jugglers And Trained Diplomats
The value of education is hard to define. We have heard from parents, teachers and employers that education is a pathway to a better life. Yet we must wonder how far we must go to achieve the lifestyle that we want. Whether we finish high school and start to work or go to our doctoral degree before entering upon an occupation is a personal c

Change. The very word can sometimes produce fear in many people. Why? Because lurking behind the word change is oftentimes the word unknown, and for most people its the fear of the unknown which makes them afraid of change.When it comes to making career changes, the fear of the unknown is what keeps people paralyzed,
Classically these are the viewpoints of:
Yourself
The organisation
Your department (or division, section)
Your people
External contacts (e.g. customers or suppliers)
Sometimes (regularly?) conflicts arise: something is right for the department and the people, but not for either the organisation or you. On occasions you will find yourself disagreeing with a company policy but having to support it even though you know that your people see it as wrong and personally inconvenient.
How you handle this balancing act is important, and it may be necessary to explain the reasons behind your actions. It is an area for some consistency.
You need to keep certain factors in mind when balancing the interests of different parties:
First and foremost your responsibility is to the organisation and to achieving the targets set for you
You can only do this with the support of your people, so in the long-term you must carry them with you (some disagreement may be seen as inevitable)
You have a responsibility upwards and downwards within the organisation (perhaps one answer is to support a policy, insisting that your people comply, while communicating upwards in an attempt to have it changed if it can be bettered)
You must never be seen as selfish, simply acting to make your own lot better (this will, rightly, always be resented)
You must sometimes be seen to fight your corner on behalf of your section and its people (this will be appreciated, more so if what you take issue with is a nonsense and, especially, if you win!)

Despite popular belief all counter operators at a cash register for a business are sales people and they are very much part of your sales force. Indeed I myself never really realized this until I was 14 years old and working at a McDonalds and they taught us to up-sell customers and we watched a video on how to do this.For instance th

Imagine the following scenario; Ten years ago you decided to quit your job and start your own company. For ten years you worked hard, made sacrifices, and it paid off in the end. One of your first employees, a loyal, hard working employee has been by your side the whole way.Things were going great. Until about eight months a

As well as making clear your position in respect of the organisation and the other players you need to consider and make clear the relationship between you and your own staff. You must always be fair (but rarely democratic). People must see the realities involved. They must understand that there is a balance and that you cannot always be automatically on their side, right or wrong.
Finally - Make It Clear That You:
See your success as tied in with and, indeed, dependent on them.
See your role as essentially supportive (in all sorts of ways: guidance, counselling, development and motivation)
Believe that by working together you can all succeed not just by everyone doing their share of the work but by everyone contributing creatively (ideas may come from anywhere)
