Sales Management Training Tips: Sales are down. What can you do?
I faced a similar situation in Q1 2003. As VP of Sales of a Canadian pharmaceutical organization we faced the SARS crisis. Access to our customers became limited. Hospitals and physicians were also limiting sales rep visits. Marketing started calling the sales numbers down for the year, blaming the SARS crisis. As head of sales I had few options. What I did know was that I had to utilize my resources where they were going to generate the greatest revenue. What would you do?

Why using a virtual office assistant may be more cost effective
The cost of employing full-time administration staff is costing you more than you think. Added to their salaries, you will have to pay them holiday & sick pay; other government taxes; training costs and they will have regular “down-time”. And don’t forget the overheads associated with it - a telephone; desk & chair; insurances; software; stationery and many more expenses.

Gathering Good Requirements
Successful training programs come from knowing exactly what the training must accomplish for the business, the department, and the individual. They don't just happen. Whether you are developing or contracting training, use these steps to improve your requirements-gathering process, spend less time doing it, and drive more effective training:

Sales Management Training Tips: Sales Coaching vs. Admin?
After my last blog 5 Ways to Gauge Your Sales Managers’ Coaching, I heard from several clients. One VP of Sales loved the article and asked for copies for his Directors of Sales. Two heads of sales from different companies liked the post but did not want to send it out to their frontline sales managers because of my comment (see below) that coaching was more important than administration. Neither wants their sales managers to feel that it is OK to spend time in the field and avoid administration.

Do Effective Online Training Needs Learning Performance Assessment
To ensure that online training is providing the right training, for the right people, with the right return, creating meaningful performance assessments for online training is crucial. With meaningful and periodical performance assessments, training instructors would easily and efficiently measure all performances and provide valuable feedback to learners in training progress and then increase online training effect.
What are Training Brokers
Training brokers exist to help companies plan the training for their employees and to help organize further education for staffers. Intensive training needs often require some form of middle ground in order to sufficiently classify the proceedings, which is where a training brokerage comes in handy. It can be difficult to conclude whether training needs to be outsourced or take place in house, but a training broker can help gauge business needs and lead to decisions on diverse related matters. In short, a training broker completes the associated tasks with organizing training for employees. Any directorial tasks, such as scheduling or budgetary scrutiny, can also be left to the broker. He or she will work within a complex of allied groups to supply the business owner with the essential information about training programs,etc.
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?

What you should know before you invest in a sales training program.
Sales training is the foundation for a successful sales career. However, not all sales training is grounded and there are many factors to consider when selecting a sales training program. An individual wouldn’t have any direction without sales training. He/she would be wasting his/her own potential and the resources of the company. Therefore, it is important that the sales training relate not only to the individual’s needs but also to management objectives and their line of business.

Underwater Mortgages: The Inside Story
So how did so many American homeowners end up with underwater mortgages? Let us tell you a little story . . . In the beginning, there was the Clinton administration. And that administration, and the Congress that went along with it, told the banking industry that they had to find a way to make home ownership possible for people who couldn't afford it.

I Hate MBAs/Redux
Just a thought: Who, in their Right Mind would grow up desiring to be a "Master" of "Administration"? (E.g.: "I can file faster than you can! And prove it! After all, I'm a Master of ADMINISTRATION!")
