Many would agree that successful sales people are flexible during sales calls. But being nimble and responsive is very different from being unprepared and simply quick on your feet. There is a certain level of improvisation that needs to occur on every sales call, but it is still critical for sellers to start every meeting with a well-crafted call plan.

One of the main reasons leadership is challenging is because you are managing a fast-moving conveyor belt of decisions. One decision after another is rolling off the conveyor belt: Should I remove this non-performer even though I have two other open positions?

If you’re very, very lucky, you may sell a product or service that is completely unique, without any serious competitor in sight. And because your offering is one-of-a-kind, you never feel any pressure from buyers to lower your price. But most likely, you do have competitors, maybe a lot of them, and your customers do sometimes try to beat you down on price.

Whether you’re meeting with prospects on the phone, via videoconference, or in person, you have only minutes to capture their attention and convey your company’s value proposition. To do so successfully, you need a strong sales pitch. Winging it is not an option. Hubspot defines a pitch as: “a condensed sales presentation in which a salesperson explains the nature and benefits of their business, ideally in less than one or two minutes.”.

Costumes, Ghosts and Goblins, Spooky Spiders, and Candy are fun Halloween traditions. Each year, children dress up and go door-to-door, exclaiming “trick or treat” in hopes of getting a handful of candy to add to the stash they’ve already collected. To a child, there is no such thing as too much candy… in fact, the one with the most candy by the end of the night wins.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role.

This article originally appeared in Training Journal. Great sales reps aren’t born. They’re made. Even the best reps need training and reinforcement to effectively convey value and successfully navigate buyer interactions.
