If you believe your sales people need to be trained and developed, you are working with the wrong material and money spent on sales training will be money wasted. If your sales team are not converting as many sales as you would like you need to look at a number of areas to improve sales.

How your sales people are generating their business
You product range and services
Your market place
Your competitors

Are your sales people up to the job and will they ever be able to develop into quality sales people? Are your sales people spending too much time cold calling? Are your products and services competitive? Has your market place changed or are their other market places you have not investigated? What are your competitors doing?

A continuous flow of sales enquires and sales leads can generate high levels of sales with even a small sales force that are spending their time selling and not looking for business.

WHY YOUR SALES PEOPLE SHOULD NOT COLD CALL

I always make a point of trying to take all sales calls from anyone cold calling my company on the off chance that I might learn something to my advantage and because I believe that the most expensive thing anyone can own is a closed mind.

It is extremely rare that I ever buy anything, most sales people are extremely poor, having done their research to discover if my company would really be a potential customer and most are trying to sell something fairly poor and unessential.

I would like using sales people to cold call and then try convert that call into a sale is using them as cannon fodder. Cold calling is a waste of a good salesman's time and that of the person they are calling. It can also have a serious detrimental and negative affect on the mindset of any sales person. Companies tend to use the cold call approach out of ignorance and a lack of imagination.

There money would be more profitably invested in telemarketing, advertising, internet marketing and sales lead generation to help their sales people talk to people who are actually interested in their product.

The need to cold call died out a decade ago with the onset of the internet. We can help you generate a continuous flow of sales enquiries through a number of mediums to keep your sales people profitably occupied selling.
