A typical hurdle for Sales Managers is learning how to truly 'manage' their sales team. Abundant sort of a football coach, it's your job to assess the talent on your team.
A smart approach to start assessing your team is to evaluate every player, and assign them to at least one of 3 categories. This can enable you to focus the correct attention on the acceptable team members. There are three basic types of sales people.
Those you Teach:
This sort has very very little, if any sales training. Whether a 'rookie' or a 10 year veteran, they survive on raw talent. Blessed with a disarming demeanor and a 'gift of gab', these people build an honest living in sales. Arming them with some basic tools of the trade can do wonders in getting them off the observe squad and into the game.

For starters, schedule weekly sessions to travel over scripting and roll playing exercises that cowl common shopper interactions. Permit these players to 'sit in' on a few of your consumer consultations. If you have got a video camera, tape their client interaction (with their knowledge, of course) and review it with them to correct common mistakes.
Those you Coach:
These are your starters. They consistently meet their sales goals. But, they seem to set their sights too low and 'take plays off' when they are ahead.
For this cluster, motivation is the key. Track their conversion rates for results in sales. This will stress that each opportunity counts. Inspire friendly competition with weekly or monthly rewards like "Lunch on the Boss" or a 'Get Out of A Meeting Free" card. Meet with them weekly and give them a sensible ribbing if they begin to slack off. Don't worry, they'll take it.
Those you Leave Alone:
The MVPs! Each sales manager includes a list of 'go to' team members. They frequently exceed expectations and are self-motivated. It is necessary that you just not over-manage these star performers.
Remember that professionals during this class are assured in their ability and grasp what they bring about to your team. If you stifle them with burdensome reports and conferences, or with doing things 'your approach', they will demand a trade! If they don't seem to be broken, don't strive to fix them.
In conclusion, using these profiles can help you build your team into a winner! And just like Vince Lombardi said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only issue!"
