MAKE MORE SALES BY STOPPING YOUR SALES TEAM COLD CALLING

Make more sales by stopping your sales team cold calling and get them to work off referrals because confidence comes with success and selling is all about being confident in your product and yourself. A bad day of cold calling can demoralise even the most experienced salesperson and a salesman is only as good as his last sale.

This is why it is essential to replenish your sales team's supply of potential customers everyday. Having made a sale, if a sales person then has to stop and think about where their next sale is coming from, you are paying them to daydream. If, having closed a deal, there biggest problem is having to cope with the number of qualified leads they have to contact that day, it's the best type of problem any sales person can have.

If you have a good supply of sales leads, it is important that your sales people and sales managers keep strict records.

• How many calls made
• How many decision makers contacted
• How many sales
• Value of sales
• Commission earned
• Value of each call
• Value of each decision maker contacted

The best sales people are motivated by a number of things but it all boils down to money. If they know how much they earn per sales call and if they can see ways of improving their closing ratios, they will be motivated to make the calls.

Supplying them with good quality sales leads so that their closing ratios continually improve is the only motivation a good sales person needs.

Internet advertising can prove highly profitable if handled correctly and a total waste of money if you are employing an advertising agency who don't understand the search engines. Because the internet is reactive, you cannot just depend on potential customers looking for your type of product or service; you have to reach a target audience who may not know about your product but would make an impulse buy in the same way as they would walk into your shop if they were passing.

This all hinges on the web pages that are carrying your advertising getting plenty of visitors. Pay per click advertising is atypical example but there are other more cost effective advertising methods that can be employed to make more sales.
