5 Steps To Focus Your Sales Team After The Summer

How can we be sure that our sales reps are back, fully focused on work and not half on holiday? 

For some, the work and holiday line is confusingly blurred with #WFH and #hybrid protocol in place or partially adhered to. 

Transaction Focus’ 5 Steps can help you:  

 

  1. DO YOU HAVE BACK UP TALENT READY ?

The Great Resignation period is not over, so be prepared for drop outs. 

Have back up candidates ready to go so that pipeline growth is not compromised 

Ask more @TFocus sales reservists.

 

  1. TRUE COMMITMENT

Employees or contractors may reconsider changing jobs or roles at this time of year, so make sure that they are truly committed and 100% motivated. 

Sit down with them face to face individually in a quiet neutral space and ask them what they want to achieve in the coming 3, 6 or 12 months. 

If you doubt their commitment, be bold and replace them. 

If they are high revenue achievers, explore new ways of remotivating them ; at worse offer them part-time contracts with attractive bonuses and clear KPIs and KRAs to keep them on board. 

Explore @salesmotivation incentives.  

 

  1. FULLY FOCUS TEAM TO KICK OFF AGAIN AFTER THE SUMMER BREAK

Arrange a new year re-kick off / re-training camp to launch new creative initiatives, refocus energies on new objectives, rebuild team collaboration. 

Instill new drive, buy in and true purpose : involve external motivational gurus 

Make sure that there is a social activity element that bonds the team and lets everyone feel appreciated, special and relaxed. 

Schedule follow up events , so that everyone can look forward to reviewing their achievements
