How to Hire a Motivational Speaker to Increase Employee Performance and Productivity
| |
| One of the best things any company can do to impact their bottom line, especially during tough economic times, is to bring in a professional speaker or coach to work with your staff.

Prospecting, Follow-up and Solving "Around" the Problem
| |
| Do you solve problems by “solving around the problem?” This is what I mean. Manager “Ken” is frustrated because his sales force isnʼt prospecting because they are relying on the companyʼs expensive advertising budget to drive the traffic. Even though personal prospecting is the least expensive form of advertising and has the highest success rate in closing customers. Because the sales force hasnʼt been trained or managed properly they are “rewarded” by manager “Ken” who increases his ad budget. Kenʼs defense is that he canʼt get his salesmen to prospect. A classic case of the tail wagging the dog. |

What Is Value-Added Selling?
| |
| Value-added selling is a proactive philosophy. Value added salespeople take the initiative to add value. Value added salespeople do not wait for the customer to complain about the price and then say, “Hold on a minute while I whip some value-added selling on you!” Value added salespeople build more value in on the front end so that price becomes less of an issue on the back end. Being proactive with customers means you never have to say you’re sorry.

The Most Common Customer Management Mistakes
| |
| How we manage our customers is critical to the on-going success of our business. After all, without customers we have no revenue, and without revenue we have no business. Yet many companies and sales people don’t pay enough attention to their existing customers to build loyalty so they’ll remain as clients who continue purchasing from us. The focus of many companies seems to be biased toward acquiring new customers at the expense of their existing ones. Since it costs so much more to sell to new customers (up to seven to 10 times more) due to added marketing and sales activities, it just makes plain sense to focus more efforts on retaining our bread and butter customers. |

Reduction in Force needs to be a “Surgical Strategy”
| |
| During tough economic times a reduction in force (RIF) often becomes a necessity for many companies. Let’s face it; payroll expense is probably the biggest expense for the majority of companies in business today. Unfortunately, many leaders have a tendency to panic and make across the board cuts without regard for the long term effects, including employee morale and the overall health of the company and its ability to weather the economic storm. |
