 Career Path for Sales Professionals
What happens to the Sales Professional who would like to advance his/her career in your company? Where can they go? Most likely, this person will have to seek a position in management. But, what if that person is a top producing Sales Professional who doesn't want or is not suited for management? It’s not like you haven’t seen that before!
Without some form of career path, salespeople often just plateau. They get into a comfortable “rut.” Production is marginally acceptable, but not anywhere near true potential. Once they settle in and gain seniority, it’s very difficult to get them going again. These challenges can be greatly reduced with the development of a career path for sales professionals who would prefer active selling to management for career development.
The purpose of this book is to provide the information necessary to establish a career path in sales, so top producers are not forced out of the profession in order to gain promotions.

 Interviewing and Hiring Sales Professionals
The purpose of reading this eBook is to understand how to establish a systematic, structured process for recruiting, interviewing, and selecting sales professionals most likely to blend with your organization’s culture and have the greatest chance to succeed in their positions.
You do this by first identifying what the person needs to know, the experience they need, skills, and many other areas. Then, you identify how you know the person has those things. For sellers, there are over 30 areas you'll need to explore. One of the more difficult challenges is developing a question pool for each area. The ebook provides that question pool for you.

 Sales Professionals' Performance Appraisal
The purpose of a performance evaluation is to provide accurate feedback on performance that motivates improvement, development of new skills, communicates the organization's priorities, and clarifies expectations. It is a way to get a clear perception of how a person matches the expectations (self and others).
In the book, there is a detailed five-point scale complete with five descriptions for each item evaluated. This minimizes the "halo" and "horn" effects and provides easier comparisons when appraisals are conducted by different managers of the same person. 47 areas receive this detailed analysis.

 Sales Coach
The Sales Manager’s number one job is to obtain results through the "efforts" of others.
What are these efforts?
For selling, the efforts are skilled activities, processes, applied knowledge, and strategies that must be used at some level of proficiency in order to carry out the steps of the sales process. When the efforts aren’t getting the results either from not doing them right or by not living up to full potential, it’s time to coach.
In this brief eBook, you'll learn how to conduct formal coaching sessions, curbside coaching sessions, and how to manage peer-to-peer coaching sessions.

 Peer-to-Peer Sales Coaching*
Imagine a meeting with your team where a member is talking about being concerned about an objection that might come up when s/he tries to set an appointment to see an important decision-maker. Now visualize other team members offering what they think might work in this situation. See the entire team focus their energy, knowledge, skills, and experience to help a single member develop a way to get that appointment.
Do you think that this person would get some workable ideas?
Do you think that if we did this with each team member for each step they were experiencing difficulty with, they would, in short order, be able to handle most of the obstacles and objections that came their way?
The purpose of this sales meeting is to provide a mechanism to focus the knowledge, skills, and experience of the entire sales team on developing strategies and tactics for individual priority prospects and projects to dramatically improve closing ratios.
If there was just one thing sales managers could do to improve the results of their team in a most dramatic way, it would be the Peer-to-Peer Sales Coaching System.
