6 Ways to use Praise as an Effective Sales Management Tool
There are many ways to reward your sales team. There are cash rewards, non-cash rewards, extra time off, outings and events, just to name a few. Praise is often overlooked, though it can be a very powerful tool.
Try these tips below as a way to further recognize the hard work of your sales team.
- In addition to recognition at sales meetings, try giving praise in writing via email (or even a written letter or note).
- Praise members of your sales team publicly, especially when they are not around. Positive gossip is a great tool.
- Do something for your sales team personally if they hit a pre-determined team goal.
- As a sales manager, remember that your team wants to work for those that are not too busy to spend time with them.
- Recognize top performers by encouraging them to help others. They can do this by working with others on the sales team to share resources and provide constructive feedback.
- Though it's great to have HR recognition programs, front line recognition from sales managers is also essential.
