Sales Training is not a luxury – it’s essential

March 31, 2010 By: admin Category: Uncategorized

Keeping you and your sales team ‘match fit’ and actively engaged in the market place selling effectively is paramount to your survival and success in today’s market. Yet too many businesses, large and small, do not train their sales teams in the vital skills needed in the much more consultative, value add, less product focused market of today.

I was reminded of this again when I was speaking with a 35 year veteran in sales and sales management who works in the office equipment and facilities management industry. We were discussing the sales team he has inherited recently and how they cannot seem to get their head around talking about facilities management and business processes. They have their heads well and truly stuck in the box (i.e. their products). In order for them to survive they (and others like them) need to transition from selling products to selling in systems and solutions, but as it happens they have had no training in how to make that transition. Whilst they have received some training in the past, it was only product training.

Why do we keep doing this to our sales teams? Why don’t we invest more in their ongoing development and help them adapt to the changing business world? Why do we invest in Occupational Health and Safety Training, for instance, and not in Sales Training? Most likely because we will get fined if we don’t have our OH&S in place or our Workcover insurance premiums will rise. In the OH&S scenario sense we are forced to. (PS I am all for OH&S).

Yet without a good sales team we cannot survive. Sadly, I cannot legislate for good sales training, however, if you are smart you would realise the continuous development (formal and informal) of your sales people it is a type of insurance as well as an investment for your business. Here is a one of our client case studies which illustrates the point:

Banking Products: Case Study: Bank Personal Banking Investment Products
Call Centre – Business to Consumer Telephone Sales

Project Purpose & Pre Intervention Issues
Head of Distribution for Banking Products wanted to create seamless “One Bank” approach to meet customer needs and enhance the customer experience in Banking Products Direct (BP). BP embarked on an attitudinal / behavioural change and skill enhancement program.

Issues needing attention:
No formal sales process or set structure to guide sales calls effectively
Sales people lacking confidence in their own abilities to sell effectively
Too much focus on building rapport instead of building real business opportunities
Sales people not controlling the sales call and lacking a proactive assertive approach
Sales people not cross selling or up-selling instead sticking to “one product” missing growing the “Prime Accounts”

Within 6 months of implementing Sales Skills, Behaviour & Process training (2 days class room training plus 6 fortnightly 1 hour follow up sessions run by the manager supplemented with some training for the sales manager in how to run the follow up sessions and coach their staff on the phones) the following results were achieved:

Accounts Opened: 58% uplift
Accounts Activated, 43% uplift
Sales per FTE: 39% uplift
Conversion Rate, 33% uplift
New TD FUM ($m): 39% uplift
% of Total BP accounts opened via BP Direct: 106 % uplift

Business Climate: Post Intervention Results
Apart from the noted uplift in sales, the manager noted a change in behaviour for many sales consultants. Several consultants commented on the program being a ‘light bulb’ moment for them, as that they were suddenly made aware of behaviours and felt empowered to take charge of the situation.

The ROI was definitely worth it. Yet this is the exception in the business world. One of my other clients (another senior sales manager of 20 years experience) alerted his young sales team at the end of their sales training program recently to the fact they were indeed very lucky to receive sales training as most people do not get this kind of support or indepth approach to their develop their careers. He wanted them to really value what they were receiving as it was not the norm.

I am deeply concerned at the lack of adequate support many sales people get. Instead of giving them the vital skills and training/ coaching support they need to flourish and succeed, we (often with the best intentions) mistakenly, think our

Scholarships For Moms – Educational Grants For Mothers are Available Right Now!

March 31, 2010 By: admin Category: Uncategorized

When you are a mom you already have so many responsibilities of taking care of the kids, house, husband that you may be telling yourself there’s no way you will ever get back into school at this point. However, it is possible to acquire scholarships and grants for moms to pay for your education. The hardest part sometimes is just finding them.

There are several different ways to find educational grants that are available to you. One most common way is the World Wide Web. In any search engine you choose you can simply type in ‘scholarships for moms’ and you will be surprised just how many you find. You need to be cautious which ones you apply for so as not to waste any valuable time. Making sure your qualifications meet what they are looking for is the main objective.

There are several different options offered by the government as well that you really do not want to miss out on. Making certain first of all you apply for the Pell grant and the FSEOG [Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant]. These are both free grants for moms that you will not want to miss out on. Basically these are income based and require that you fill out the FAFSA in order to apply.

Checking within your local community, city council or with a college advisor is also a wonderful resource you will need to utilize. Ask them about scholarship contests that may be available for you. Some companies offer different scholarships for different situations. You may very well be eligible just by being a mother. If you find any scholarships for moms of this sort, apply for them all even if you only meet part of the criteria. There may be others who are applying for grants for moms who do not meet as many qualifications as you, which can make you the most likely candidate for the money.

It can be a very long search, but one thing is for sure it is worth it. Don’t give up simply because it becomes hard to find a lot that you may qualify for. Persistence is what is going to put your application at the top of the list when decision time rolls around. Plus, once you do find, apply, and receive all of the scholarships and grants for moms you can, be sure to do it each year you are in school, reducing your overall out of pocket expenses.
