1 Phone control:

When you work from home it is easy to fall into the trap of talking on the phone for much longer than needed.

At the grocery store I frequent, the check-out personnel are apparently instructed to call customers by name when they read them on the credit or debit card receipts. Nice intention, bad execution. Maybe once out of 100 trips the person has gotten close to saying mine correctly. It’s actually quite comical how they struggle, then butcher it.

And it still floors me, the ignorance of many people when hearing a difficult or unusual name on phone calls. In talking to sales or service people on calls where I was the customer, after spelling my name, I’ve heard such idiotic comments as, (more…)

Network Marketing Tips #1:

This first tip for success is also one of the most difficult to master. Time management may sound like a simple thing, but that’s far from the truth of things.

Ask yourself,” how do I spend my average day?” How many hours do you spend working, sleeping, eating, traveling between places, etc.? There are only so many hours in a day. If you work 8 hours, and get 8 hours of sleep, you only have 8 more left to do everything else. (more…)

One of the core components of effective sales force management is hiring the right sales team.

The simplicity of Twitter is what helped make it one of the most popular and powerful online social media sites today. If used well, Twitter can be an effective and invaluable marketing tool that will let you reach a vast audience of potential customers and clients.

Effective sales force management depends on organization and focus, two things that many people feel are also major impediments when it comes to regular company sales meetings. If you and your sales team are beginning to dread meetings and feel as though not much is accomplished by them, here are some tips to help you get your meetings, and your sales force back on track.

Whether you are holding a routine meeting or a special meeting to discuss an important issue, it is important to take the time to prepare an agenda. Merely inviting people to talk about an issue with no direction or focus is a recipe for disaster. Even for the shortest meeting, an agenda will help the participants to focus and be more productive. An agenda will also let participants know what to expect, what will be covered in the meeting and what won’t be.

Keep your meetings as short as possible. Most people can’t devote their full attention to a meeting lasting longer than thirty minutes. If you need to go longer, include a break or two and consider breaking up the large meeting into two separate meetings. Your meeting participants will appreciate the break, and having breaks or splitting the meeting into two meetings will give your sales team time to organize their thoughts and become more effective contributors.
