Managers
Methods used to train
sales managers
11. • In sales force management motivation refers
to the amount of efforts a sales person is
willing to expend to accomplish the tasks
associated with his job.
• It is critical that sales managers appreciate
that motivation is far more sophisticated
than the view that all salespeople need is a
‘kick up the pants.
12. • Sales managers do not motivate sales
people. What they do is provide the
circumstances that will encourage
salespeople to motivate themselves.
13. Improving motivation is important to sales
success as research has shown that high levels
of motivation lead to:
Increased creativity.
Working smarter and a more adaptive selling
approach.
Working harder.
Increased use of win–win negotiation tactics.
Higher self-esteem.
A more relaxed attitude and a less negative
emotional tone.
Enhancement of relationships.
17. Maslow argued that:
when no needs are fulfilled, a person
concentrates on their physiological needs.
When these needs are fulfilled, safety needs
become preponderant and important
determinants of behavior.
When these are satisfied, belongingness
becomes important and so on.
18. Although Maslow’s belief that.
one set of needs only becomes important
after lower order needs have been
completely satisfied has been criticized.
The theory does have relevance to sales
force motivation.
The theory does have relevance to sales
force motivation.
21. The two-factor theory is the theory that
holds that motivation involves both:
Motivation factors
Hygiene factors
Motivation factors are strong contributors to
job satisfaction while hygiene factors are not
strong contributors but must be there to
prevent employees from being dissatisfied.
22. Comparison of Maslow’s and Herzberg’s
Theories of motivation
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory
Self actualization needs
Motivators:
Esteem needs
Responsibilities
Challenging work
Recognition
achievement
Social needs
Safety & security needs
Maintenance factors:
Job security
Good pay
Physiological needs
Working conditions
Type of supervision
Interpersonal relations
29. Equity Theory
Developed by - Stacey Adams 1963
• Fairness and Equity are key components.
• Equity theory is based in the idea that individuals
are motivated by fairness,
• If they identify inequities in the input/output ratios
of themselves and their referent group, they will
seek to adjust their input to reach their perceived
equity.
• Adams' suggested that the higher an individual's
perception of equity, the more motivated they will
be, and vice versa
• If someone perceives an unfair environment, they
will be demotivated.
30. Referent groups
• Self-inside: Your own experience within your
current organization ('…when I worked for
Bob, things were better…')
• Self-outside: Your own experience, but at
another organization ('…when I did this same
job for XYZ, I was paid a lot less…')
• Others-inside: Other people within your current
organization ('…the management team just sits
around a conference table all day, and gets paid
way too much…')
• Others-outside: Other people outside your
current organization ('…the sales force our
competitor has some pretty weak benefits…')

Formula:
One’s Own Outcomes

35. Likert’s sales management theory:
Likert based his sales management theory on
research that looked specifically at the
motivation of salespeople.
linkert tested the hypothesis that:
The sales managers’ own behaviors provide a
set of standards which, in themselves, will
affect the behavior of their salespeople.
He founded that :
High performing sales teams usually had
sales managers who themselves had high
performance goals.
36. His research investigated two methods of sales
meeting.
1. Group Methods.
• Problems that had arisen in the field
• Learn from one another.
2. Monopolist Method:
• Discouraged interaction between salespeople
• opportunity to lecture them rather than to
stimulate discussion.
38. The Churchill, Ford and Walker
model of salesforce motivation:
Churchill model suggests that :
• The higher the salesperson’s motivation, the
greater the effort, leading to higher
performance.
• Enhanced performance will lead to greater
rewards which will bring about higher job
satisfaction.
39. The implications of this model for sales
managers are as follows:
1. They should convince salespeople that they
will sell more by working harder or by being
trained to work ‘smarter’ (e.g. more efficient
call planning, developing selling skills).
2. They should convince salespeople that the
rewards for better performance are worth
the extra effort.
For example
A sales manager might build up the worth of
a holiday prize by stating what a good time
they personally had when there.
40. Motivation and the productivity
of the sales force:
Two prime determinants of sales force
performance
• Ability to perform
• Willingness to perform
Productivity = Output/Input
Sales productivity = Sales revenues / Sales
expenses
42. Influencing factors of sales force
productivity:
Influencing factors of sales force productivity

43. How to motivate sales force and
boost productivity:
I. Sales quotas
II. Sales contests
III. Compensation plans and reward systems
IV. Innovative ideas
V. Fun work places
VI. Improving communication
VII.Participation in decisions pertaining to

better when time pressure is not acute
58. Training
Organized activity aimed at imparting
information and/or instructions to improve
the recipient's performance or to help him
or her attain a required level of knowledge
or skill.
59. Dr. Leonard Nadler
“ Training is learning that is provided in order to
improve performance on the present job. ”
Speaker, author, and master trainer Bob Pike
says at the opening of his book, Creative Training
Techniques:
“ The purpose of any training program is to deliver
results. People must be more effective after the
training than they were before. ”
60. To put it another way, we might say that :
The purpose of training is to help people
learn something they need to know or be
able to do for a specific purpose — to
achieve organizational objectives and
goals, carry out specific tasks, prepare for
new responsibilities, or attain their career
goals.
61. Seven sales challenges for
organizations for the survival in the
competitive marketplace:
1. Distinguish between similar products and
services.
2. Putting together groups of products to form
a business solution.
3. Handling the more educated buying
population.
62. 4. Mastering the art of consultative selling.
5. Managing a team selling approach.
6. Knowing the customer’s business.
7. Adding value through service.
63. Benefits of Training
Enhanced skill levels
For Example
Needs analysis
Presentation and demonstration,
Negotiation
Objection handling
Closing and relationship management
Greater customer orientation
66. Reduced costs
Training in self-management and journey
planning should reduce costs.
Higher skills should mean fewer call
backs to close the sale.
Better use of technology should also
reduce costs (e.g. using email rather than
site visits where appropriate).
67. Lower staff turnover
Training shows staff that the company is willing
to invest in them raising morale and loyalty.
Reduced management support
Well trained salespeople require less
managerial support as they can manage their
own activities.
68. Higher job satisfaction
The confidence and success which accompanies
higher skill levels developed during training lead
to higher job satisfaction.
Higher sales and profits
The result of the above advantages of training is
that sales should be higher and costs lower
resulting in higher company profits.
69. Skill development
These are four classic stages to learning a
skill.
1. Unconsciously unable
2. Consciously unable
3. Consciously able
4. Unconsciously able
70. Stage 1
Unconsciously unable
Trainee does not think about skills.
Defines the situation before a trainee decides
to enter a career in selling.
By reading or being told about the skills.
Stage 2
Consciously unable
Trainee
reads about skills but cannot carry
them out in practice.
know what to do but cannot successfully
perform any of the skills
71. Stage 3
Consciously able
Consciously able Trainee knows what to do and
is reasonably proficient in individual skills but
has difficulty putting them all into practice
together.
Stage 4
Unconsciously able
Trainee can perform the task without thinking
about it; skills become automatic.
73. Components of a training
program
A training program will attempt to cover a
combination of knowledge and skill
development. Five components can be
identified:
1. The company
2. products.
3. Competitors and their products.
4. Selling procedure and techniques.
5. Work organization and report preparation.
6. Relationship management
74.
75. 1. The company
• Brief history of the company
• How it has grown and where it intends to go
in the future.
• Policies relevant to the selling function
• How the company is organized relationship
between sales and the marketing function
• Marketing strategies
• Advertising strategies
• Codes of ethics
76. 2. Products.
• Knowledge about company’s products
• Description of how the products are made
• The implications for product quality and
reliability,
• The features of the product
• The benefits they confer on the consumer.
77. 3. Competitors and their
products.
• Identification of competitors
• Competitors products
• Differences between competitors and the
company’s products
• Identification of Competitive edge on
competitors products
• Competitor marketing strategies
78. 4. Selling procedure and
techniques.
• Examination of the factors analyzed
• Include practical sessions where trainees
develop skills through role-playing exercises
• For example, the Xerox Professional Selling
Skills training program focuses on five selling
steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Opening sales calls
Effective listening
Objection handling
Closing
5. Follow-up.
79. 5. Work organization and report
preparation.
• Time management skills
• Territory management skills
6. Relationship management
• Training program will place heavy emphasis on
people skills.
• For example, the IBM consultative sales training
program emphasizes working with clients as
consultants to build close relationships and
work jointly to solve problems. The case
components of the program involve people and
communication skills.
81. 1)The lecture
• Useful in giving information and providing
a frame of reference to aid the learning
process.
• Should be supported by the use of visual
aids, for example, professionally
produced PowerPoints.
• Trainees should be encouraged to
participate so that the communication is
not just one way.
82.
83. 2)Films
• Useful supplement to the lecture in
giving information and showing how a
skill should be performed
• Add an extra dimension to a lecture by
demonstrating how the principles can be
applied in a selling situation.
84. 3)Role playing
• It allows the trainees to learn by their
own successes and failures in a buyer–
seller situation.
• Feedback is provided by other group
members, the sales trainer and by audiovisual means.
• Seeing oneself perform is an enlightening
and rewarding experience and can
demonstrate to the trainee the points
raised by other members of the group
85.
86. 4)Case studies
Particularly appropriate for developing
analytical skills.
Trainees are asked to
I.
II.
III.
IV.
analyze situations,
identify problems
and opportunities and
make recommendations
88. 6)E-learning
• Heavy time constraints
• Modern salespeople Avoid that taking
days off work to attend a traditional sales
training course
• Technological advances make learning via
the internet.
90. Case study
• Business began in 1919 with one man, Jack
Cohen
• In 1929, the first Tesco store opened in north
London.
• Tesco has net profits (before tax) of around £3
billion.
• UK Tesco now has over 2,200 stores ranging
from the large Extra hypermarket style stores to
small Tesco Express high street outlets
• Tesco now has approximately 280,000
employees in the UK and over 460,000
worldwide
91. Tesco offers employees both on-the-job training
and off-the-job training
On-the-job training methods at Tesco include:
1. Shadowing – a person already in the job shows
the employee how to do it
2. coaching – a manager or designated colleague
will help trainees work through problems and
inspire them to find solutions
3. mentoring – a more experienced member of
staff acts as an adviser
4. job rotation or secondment – the trainee has
the opportunity of covering their target role,
taking full responsibility on a temporary or
limited basis.
92. off-the-job training
• Month 1 – visit and work in all parts of a store to
familiarize themselves. The new manager is
allocated a ‘buddy’ – an experienced member of
staff who they can go to with problems.
• Months 2-4, – practice their knowledge and
skills in real situations and identify any skills gaps
• Months 5-6 – undertake a placement as a
Department Manager
• Months 6-12 – take on their first manager role
• Month 12 – review progress with their manager
and discuss future development.
93. Prefer training method by the Tesco??
For the employee, on-the-job training is directly
relevant to their work, they get to know the
people in their area and feel part of the team
faster.
On-the-job training also has several advantages
for the company:
I. It is cheaper than off-the-job training.
II.
Managers see progress and can help when
problems arise to resolve them quickly.
III. The employee is still working during training so
is more productive.
IV. The employee puts learning into practice.
96. Evaluation
• It is a process of establishing a
worth of something.
• The ‘worth’, which means the
value, merit or excellence of the
thing
97. Evaluation is a ………..
State of mind, rather
than a set of
techniques
98. Training Evaluation
• Training evaluation - the process of
collecting the outcomes needed to
determine if training is effective.
• Evaluation design - collection of
information, including whom, what, when,
and how, for determining the effectiveness
of the training program.
99. Reasons for Evaluating
Training
• Companies make large investments in
training and education and view them as
a strategy to be successful; they expect
the outcomes of training to be
measurable.
• Training evaluation provides the data
needed to demonstrate that training does
provide benefits to the company.
100. Purpose of Evaluation
• Feedback - on the effectiveness of the
training activities
• Control - over the provision of training
• Intervention - into the organizational
processes that affect training
101. Benefits of Evaluation
• Improved quality of training activities
• Improved ability of the trainers to relate
inputs to outputs
• Better integration of training offered and
on-the job development
• Better co-operation between trainers and
line-managers in the development of staff
• Evidence of the contribution that training
and development are making to the
organization
102. What can be evaluated??
Remember 3 Ps
• The Plan
• The Process
• The Product
103. How to evaluate the Plan??
• Course Objectives
• Appropriate selection of participants
• Timeframe
• Teaching Methods
104. How to Evaluate the
Process??
• Planning Vs. Implementation
• Appropriate participants
• Appropriate time
• Effective use of time
• teaching according to set objectives
105. How to Evaluate the Product?
Is only evaluation of the product sufficient?
• Time
• Ultimately all stages require evaluation in
any case
Changes in effectiveness
• Impact Analysis
• Achieving Targets
• Attracting Resources
• Satisfying Interested Parties
106. Four level of Evaluation
During program evaluation
• Level One
Reaction
• Level Two
Learning
Post program evaluation
• Level Three
Behavior
• Level Four
Results
108. Reaction Level
A customer satisfaction measure
• Were the participants pleased
with the program
• Likelihood of applying the content
• Effectiveness of particular strategies
• Effectiveness of the packaging of the
course
109. Learning Level
• What did the participants learn in the
program?
• The extent to which participants change
attitudes, increase knowledge, and/or
increase skill.
• What exactly did the participant learn
and not learn?
110. LEARNING
The measuring of learning in any training
program is the determination of at least
one of these measuring parameters:
• Did the attitudes change positively?
• Is the knowledge acquired related and
helpful to the task?
• Is the skill acquired related and helpful to
the task?
111. Level Two Strategies
• Consider using scenarios, case studies,
sample project evaluations, etc, rather
than test questions. Develop a rubric of
desired responses.
• Develop between 3 and 10 questions or
scenarios for each main objective.
112. Behavior
• Level 3 attempts to evaluate how much
transfer of knowledge, skills, and attitude
occurs after the training.
113. Behavior Level
• How the training affects performance.
• The extent to which change in behavior
occurred.
• Was the learning transferred from the
classroom to the real world.
• Transfer – Transfer - Transfer
114. Conditions Necessary to
Change:
The person must:
• have a desire to change.
• know what to do and how to do it.
• work in the right climate.
• be rewarded for changing.
115. Guidelines for Evaluating
Behavior
• Measure on a before/after basis
• Allow time for behavior change (adaptation) to
take place
• Survey or interview one or more who are in the
best position to see change.
• The participant/learner
• The supervisor/mentor
• Subordinates or peers
• Others familiar with the participants actions.
116. Guidelines for Evaluating
Behavior
• Get 100% response or a sample?
• Depends on size of group. The more the
better.
• Repeat at appropriate times
• Remember that other factors can
influence behavior over time.
• Use a control group if practical
• Consider cost vs. benefits of the
evaluation
117. Results Level:
• Impact of education and
training on the organization or
community.
• The final results that occurred as a result
of training.
• The ROI for training.
118. Examples of Level Four:
How did the training save costs
Did work output increase
Was there a change in the quality of work
Did the social condition improve
Did the individual create an impact on the
community
Is there evidence that the organization or
community has changed.
119. Guidelines for Evaluating
Results:
• Measure before and after
• Allow time for change to take place
• Repeat at appropriate times
• Use a control group if practical
• Consider cost vs. benefits of doing Level Four
• Remember, other factors can affect results
• Be satisfied with Evidence if Proof is not
possible.
120. Training sales managers:
To succeed as a sales manager requires a
formidable set of skills and roles
The following:
• Developing close relationships with
customers and an in-depth understanding
of Customers’ businesses;

Briefly introduce the 6 leadership styles by name. When we look at leadership styles with the Shackelton Case study, you’ll see how this plays out. He was a very effective leader who knew how to pick the right style for the right situation.
Coercive is:Take chargeDirectiveDecisiveImmediateA coercive leader might say, “Do what I tell you”The profession of a coercive leader might be: Fire chiefIn our world, when might you use coercive leadership?

If you show that you care, that the company cares, the employee gives back. Conversely, if you don’t deal sensitively with someone going throug a difficult time, this is one of the biggest disengagement factors. Ask group to come up with specific times they have seen this style used, either appropriately or inappropriately
