How to recruit a high performance sales team
Every successful business owner needs a high performance sales team, you will be good at sales, or you will employ someone who is. If you can sell, or if you employ people that get sales results, your business can succeed.
If you know how to sell your product or service and you can deliver what you sell for a profit, you have the basis of a successful business. All you need to do is keep repeating the process over and over again and the results will come.
The problem with many businesses, is they lose focus on the results goal. Less successful businesses get caught up in the “Process”. This takes the team away from “High Payoff Activities” that get results.
Sales results matter, so what do successful business managers do consistently to get results?
5 things successful sales managers get right:
- They get the right people on the team.
- They get the wrong people off the team
- They get the “culture” right
- They are slow to hire and quick to fire
- They keep on repeating the conversion of inquiry to sales results because…..
Process is important but it is the people that get results
Effective sales managers don’t make process the main focus. Focus on process too much and life will be as though you live in a pinball machine, ricocheting off one process after another with little to show for your efforts. You will be doing lots of things, feeling very busy, but not getting many results.
The key to amazing sales results is excellent “systems” that control the processes. In the MacDonald’s model, the systems run the business, and the people run the systems. they have created brilliant systems that do not require humans with super-powers.
You do need good people, and you do need to make it easy for them to stay focused on high payoff activities. You do this by doing three things consistently well:
- Recruit results focused, talented emotionally engaged people.
- Place them in the right position where they perform “High Payoff Activities”.
- Provide them with systems that streamline the process and get results.
Results based sales systems do not snare your people in costly and time consuming process. Results based sales systems create a direct path from first contact to buying decisions. In other words, they move your clients from first contact, through to buying decisions in the most direct route possible.
