Manage Your Salespeople by Working Smart, More Stack Rankings

In addition to tracking with the "behavior board," which gives recognition to those individuals who have performed positive selling behaviors "better" than others on the team, share information on other things too, to help motivate (and not de-motivate) salespeople toward their goals. For example, rank salespeople highest to lowest in gross profit margin, independent of their total sales. Announce or publish a list of reps who have qualified for certain sales incentive awards or who are on their way. The overall theme of these reports is simply to rank each person relative to the others, all the time. Keep the reports in front of the salespeople as often as possible, especially when there are salespeople from different offices involved.

Re: What is Your Favorite Thing About Owning A Business? - [quote="freddyb45":1t3lpfi8]For me it's the fact that all the time and effort you put in is worth a lot more, due to it making you "business" more profitable. Working for yourself is also a positive, although employing people you can trust is quite different.[/quote:1t3lpfi8] I like this idea. Working for yourself means you are investing in your own future, not someone else's, although there is value in working for someone else first to gain experience and confidence. Working for yourself does not automatically mean success, fame and fortune. For most entrepreneurs, it takes much work and dedication to get to the point of financial success and comfort - sometimes years. But the benefit is, again, you know you are investing in yourself and building equity for your own future. GT :-]
