Competing motivations creating confusion
| |
| How to incentivise and reward sales people has long been a contentious topic. Too many times I have seen businesses set up incentive programs that reward the wrong behaviours which can affect team morale, client relationships, sales, staff retention, and so on.
For instance, I recently met the managing director of a medium sized software business who asked me why would his sales people keep selling one version of their product when they had been instructed to also sell in a newer more comprehensive version of the product. |

The 'dark' side of selling - buyer beware
| |
| In the world of sales there has always been the following advice for customers and for good reason:
Buyer beware
Read the fine print
If it's too good to be true then it is
And so on.
As much as I advocate for and encourage healthy, trust based, open transparent customer relationships I am fully aware of the ‘dark side' in the profession of sales.
In my travels, sadly I hear of many stories about people being ripped off and taken advantage of often with no idea about what is happening to them until it's too late. All under the guise of selling. |

Are you creating competing motivations in your sales force?
| |
| I recently met the managing director of a medium-sized software business, who asked me why would his sales people keep selling one version of their product when they had been instructed to also sell in a newer, more comprehensive version of the product.
It turned out that his sales people earned more commission by selling in the older version than the newer version of his product. And the sales people made the bulk of their income from their commissions rather than from their salaries.
There you have it. What makes perfect sense to the sales person does not always work for the organisation or the customer. |

Origins of NLP
| |
| Back in the 70's NLP started as a meta-model, or a model for making and changing other models. The NLP meta-model focuses on verbal models, and how language both shapes and reflects human thought. The two explained their meta model in The Structure of Magic. They first used the meta-model to find how highly successful therapists like Milton Erickson and Virginia Satir managed to help so many people. They wanted to know:
What language and behavioral patterns did these therapists have?
In Erickson's case, how did he consistently produce deep hypnotic trances?
What happened in the client's mind as they changed?
