5 Ways to Motivate Your Salespeople

I believe that motivation is very misunderstood. You can't motivate by being a cheerleader, nor can you motivate by reciting somebody else's inspirational quotes. Motivation comes from within and you must find out what your salespeople's internal motivators are. Why are they doing this thing called selling? The other thing that's important to know is that everyone reacts differently to motivation and motivation takes may forms. For instance, perhaps you have some people who respond to one of these methods when trying to get them to perform:

Get Free Publicity Through Community Events

Promotional strategies like holding special community events are used both by small and large businesses to reach out and relate to their prospective clients. Such social events; like festivals and concerts, are crowd pullers and companies can leverage a lot from such occasions.

Participating and contributing in community events can be a trust and confidence building advertising exercise for businesses looking for publicity and visibility. You can make your promotional campaign more effective if you offer some tangible items to take away at such events like conventions, fundraising events, community service events, community expos, trade shows, health fairs etc. Your audience feels excited about the gifts.

Sales Manager Excuse: Dreading a Sales Meeting

Sales Manager Excuse: Dreading a Sales Meeting "I get the sense my salespeople dread coming to my weekly sales meeting." For most sales managers, the weekly sales meeting is the one chance you have to shine in front of your team, but if you don't, the meeting becomes a huge de-motivator. Sales reps must do the grunt work necessary to get in front of a real live prospect, and only have a brief window to shine and get an order. Sales meetings work in much the same way for you, as the sales manager. Through Sandler sales management training you can learn a radical new way to run sales meetings that taps into each person's internal motivation and charges them up to sell more, much the same way an NFL coach charges up his players at halftime to dig deep and win the game in the 2nd half.

Company Culture the Personality of Your Business and Brand

Is your company culture fear-based, trust-based, or strengths-based? Take a few moments to think about it. How would you know the difference? It’s vital information that reflects the personality of both your business and brand. In a fear-based culture the traditional hierarchy dominates. Managers tell uninspired employees what to do and how to do it based on the assumption that the company is a machine that needs willing servants to function properly. Does this sound overly simplified? In reality, the fear factor might express itself with more subtlety but it always comes down to a one-way communication channel. It is no surprise that creativity and innovation suffer while productivity slows down when fear is the motivator.
