Will You Add? - Don't Waffle On Terminating Non-Performing Salespeople
Not a week goes by when I am not approached by a non-profit organization and asked for a donation. Some charitable organizations do it with cold calling, some with selling candy. Some 501c3s offer the most ridiculous items and they are instantly dismissed. Some have great ideas at a reasonable price. Some are WAY off in their thinking.Below are
Do you have any sales people in your team who are not hitting their numbers and haven't been for several months? Do you have any new hires who are way behind in terms of hitting their forecast and achieving their sales results you originally hired them to produce? Now is a great time for you to take a look at those individuals and determine what you're going to do to either get them on a short term corrective action plan or move them out of the company. Make sure that 2006 is a year in which
I’m sure you’ve heard every “rags to riches” story out there and of course some are a little more believable than others. But, the best stories are those that actually show proven results and exactly how to go about obtaining them.

It is when you can see that a sales person's not performing and that you can see that they're not making steady progress in improving their sales activity and pipeline and actually closing business. The best rule of thumb is to act quickly, to let that kind of person go so that you can make room for replacing them with somebody who can be more productive. Many sales managers get attached to the individuals who are on their sales team. The process of building positive motivation and a “team spirit” can cloud the image of whether or not a sales person is actually performing. Sales management needs to make sure that it doesn't wait and hope too long for a sales person to get success before taking the necessary action to terminate and replace individuals who are non performers.
But it's very easy for sales management to be clouded in their perspective on this subject, again, wishing, hoping and wanting the sales person to perform. Frequently, delay happens through the “non-performer” efforts to sell the sales manager on the fact that things are actually improving. On the case of our client, the sales representative actually spent a good portion of his time preparing and briefing management on trying to provide evidence that sales were actually picking up and that a full pipeline was right around the corner. So, this in one of the key things that you need to look for as a sales manager… whether or not the person who you're working with actually is demonstrating actual results and improvement in their sales pipeline versus just selling you on the fact that things are getting better.

In a recent survey by WomenCorp, it was discovered that both men and women believed that “lack of flexibility” is a major deterrent to the rise of women within the corporation.But of those women who have reached top management positions, more actually have children and consider their personal life as important as their career.So is “lack of

It was all just too much fun. Really. I moved to Portland, Oregon last year after living and working in Europe for 23 years. I was on a self-induced sabbatical and I thought I’d get an office job to earn a modest living while there. I just assumed that this would be easy to do, like mowing lawns in the summertime for pocket money was back in high school.ivation and a “team spirit” can cloud the image of whether or not a sales person is actually performing.

Sometimes we feel that we are handling everything just fine. You’re a business owner and your list of clients is growing leaps and bounds as you hoped it would. The money is coming in and you may even enjoy spending an extra hour or two at the office to get caught up at the end of the day or early in the morning before the phone begins to ring. This is h

Many state franchise regulators like those in the State of Illinois and many Lawyers in specializing in Franchising Regulations do not care that they are destroying the franchise industry and drowning it in red tape.
