Build Your Salespeople’s Strengths And Use Them As Launch Pads For Better Sales Success
I used to work for a company that tried to change me into someone I just was not. In an interview, the HR manager said, "This company will help you overcome your weaknesses by thrusting you into different kinds of situations. We will help you grow to become a completely different person." Here is the thing. There's nothing wrong with "overcoming your weaknesses". But to turn me into a "completely different person," that's something else. Back then I didn't realize the repercussions of that statement. Now that I've got years of experience as a sales manager, I know better than to try and change my sales reps into something they're not. My sales reps are themselves. They are not their colleagues. They are not their friends. They are not me.

Becoming a Priority
Sales reps that do not put ample time into researching and planning can only hope for the best.

Sales reps are a very effective way for principals to sell their lines, but since they do not work directly for your company, there are some factors that need to be considered that normally wouldn't for an employed rep, or otherwise employed member of your company.
Components of Effective Compensation Plans
Executive Summary: A problem arises when sales leaders struggle to measure the effectiveness of the compensation plan in place for their sales reps. Compensation plans, particularly those with a variable component, are designed to illicit desirable behaviors and/or outcomes from reps. Many sales leaders are discovering that they have been paying reps for results that were not the primary objectives for the company. This is simply wasted money. Setting well thoughtout, clearly defined objectives with aligned metrics attached, will ensure that both the company and sales reps reap the benefits of a solid compensation plan.
