How To Make Your Sales Manager Better
I consult with a lot of business owners, and I hear a common complaint: “The sales team isn’t making their revenue numbers and my sales manager doesn’t seem to know what to do to get them to improve. What should I do?”
After reviewing their sales processes, their training program, sales scripts, etc., I always ask the same question: “How much production is your sales manager generating per month?” And I almost always get the same answer – “My manager doesn’t sell.”
Therein lies the problem. The problem with most sales managers that they don’t sell. And the problem with that is how can they teach and manage something they aren’t doing themselves (or worse, can’t)?
Now I know there are differing opinions on this – some say managers need to manage from the sidelines (like coaches), need to be involved in higher level responsibilities, need to attend endless meetings, and need to be able to set revenue goals and get their team to achieve them. I agree with some of this (except the endless meetings part!), but the most effective and respected sales managers and V. P.’s I work with all lead by example. They have a personal quota and they keep their skills sharp and refined because they are on the phones closing prospects and clients every day.
Because of this, they have a real understanding of what it takes to get the job done, and so they are in the best position to teach it to others. Here are the top 5 benefits of having a selling sales manager:1) Sales managers who actively sell have an up to date, intimate understanding of what techniques, skills and strategies work in your selling environment. And having this first-hand knowledge means they can teach it to others.
“Stop Managing the Pipeline, and Start Managing Your Sales Team.”
How much time and money do you devote to your company’s sales pipeline? Think about the resources, the software, the meetings, the forecasting, the managing and measuring you do, and the time and effort you give it. If you’re like most CEO’s or VP’s or sales managers, your sales pipeline is your life blood. It’s what you run your company by; it’s how you make decisions, and often times it even drives your stock prices.
While the pipeline is a vital part of the sales process, it is also where the most fundamental mistake is made, and this mistake costs companies millions (if not billions) of dollars every year. The problem is that most companies spend too much time, money and energy on measuring and managing the pipeline rather than managing and improving the quality of leads that go into – and ultimately come out of – the pipeline.
In other words, most of the leads that go into your pipeline are never going to close, should never have been put in and, as a result, your company wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars generating and then chasing, and measuring and managing leads that will never close. That’s the real problem.
Ask yourself: “What is my sales department’s closing ratio?” I’ll bet you can answer that, can’t you? A typical company will report that it takes an average of 50 cold calls or contacts with decision makers to set 15 appointments out of which 10 will turn into proposals or pitches which will result in 1 or 2 sales. And once this metric is established (as measured by the sales pipeline, of course) the sales strategy is set – to get more sales, you just have to set more appointments.
Smart Sales: How to Cope with Sales Rejection
Any sales person, business or organization that is involved with any form of sales, whether they are services or products, must understand and learn how to cope with sales rejection. An inability to cope with sales rejection results in defeatism, failure and loss. Developing an ability to cope in the face of sales rejection, results in hardiness, persistence, success and profit. Thus, it is important to understand how to cope with sales rejection. In order to cope with sales rejection, it is needful for sales persons to understand the psychological principles of self-concept, social acceptance, and sales rejection.
Self-Concept, Social Acceptance, and Sales Rejection: The opposite of rejection is acceptance. The need for social acceptance is an innate human drive which Vohs (2008) compared to an analogy of a hungry man. When food is denied to a person, the desire and search for food is intensified. In the same manner, the drive for social acceptance when is lacking, limited or rejected will intensified the need for it. This explains the psychologies of moderately positive and confident persons who are constantly hungry for more social acceptance. Any service or product that can fulfill or satisfy this hunger for social acceptance has a huge market of innately acceptable clients. Besides these, what else do we know about social acceptance? Reese (1961) research found that:
Acceptance was related to the psychological principle of self-concept. Self-concept is what we think about ourselves or the kind of image we have of ourselves. Considering oneself to be an aristocrat with a taste for anything opulent is an example. One of the motivations of such a person would be to own and utilize branded stuff which to the individual represents his / her aristocratic opulent image. That is why certain products that are made in some backyard sweatshop in a third world country but branded with a first world label can be sold for atrociously high prices to brand-conscious consumers globally.
