Most people who have had careers in retail sales are accustomed to the customers coming into a business looking for something. The customer wants to know about the product or services, get information and will often consider the options right there on the spot and leave with the product or service. If the retail establishment is selling food, there's a high probability that the customer will place an order and leave with the food, unless something goes wrong with the service, or the food just don't seem to appeal to their tastebuds at the time. Retail customers go to stores to buy things, or get more prepared to make a purchase in the near or distant future. Retail sales people expect to make sales...

Have you ever wondered, "Why are some people successful in sales careers, while other fail?" Does that mean that successful salespeople are more gifted or talented? Maybe to some degree, but even if you are extremely talented but lazy it won't get you anywhere. The reality is that the most successful people, not only in sales, but generally in life are working very hard to achieve their goals. They have a strong discipline and work on their goals no matter what. Imagine a pyramid with the bottom representing a cold calls or other form of first contact with the prospect and the top being the actual sales made. The more room you have at the bottom, the more you can build on top of it. Of course, your...

We have a client that just terminated the sales person after 10 months for non performance. Why did it take so long, you ask, to terminate this person? Well, the client was very interested in making sure that it did everything possible to work with this sales rep in order to enhance their performance. But in retrospect, it should have been about 4 months ago or so that the client fired this person. The reason why it hung on was because the company was waiting and hoping that a different result was going to come by just providing some more time to the sales representative. What's the key lesson here? It is when you can see that a sales person's not performing and that you can see that they're...

Up until 20 years ago, a key function of a sales manager's role was the regular training of their sales people. What did this look like? Well, something like this: weekly 1 hour power training sessions for the sales team focusing on honing key skills, bi-monthly half day or 1 day sessions drilling down on account planning, strategy, market and product knowledge, and formal class room training usually employing external, expert training providers on a once or twice yearly basis to boost their teams to the next level. This was all supplemented by sales meetings and one-on-one coaching. Many sales managers of yesteryear were good trainers. However, through my observations across many businesses, the...

I once worked on a company funded by Pierre Lamond, veteran Venture Capitalist at Sequoia Capital. During the interview, Pierre asked me, "How old is your father? What does he do? Is he retired?" I explained, that my father (in his sixties) is an entrepreneur, and will never retire, because he still has too many things that he wants to accomplish, and that he will die trying to get through as many of them as possible, and not run out of things to try. Pierre nodded and said, "I don't understand 50-year old executives who want to play Golf all day." I had another conversation with Jim Hogan of Telos Venture Partners over lunch one day on the same subject. Jim said, "You know, when a man is successful...

We recently asked a focus group facility for a daily call disposition report, including the daily recruiting hours used. They said they could provide this report for an additional $500. When we asked about the additional fee, they replied: "It's for additional staff hours that are not typically required of qualitative projects." Does that mean that this supplier does not typically track progress? Or does it mean that progress is typically tracked, but that providing clients with progress reports is uncommon? Neither scenario is good for qualitative market research buyers. Here's why: Not tracking recruiting progress If a respondent recruitment firm doesn't track recruiter progress (the number of...

I think that we would all agree that goal setting is definitely something that will help to direct our future. We've all read the self-help books, heard the speakers, watched the DVD's, and listened to the audios. You know the routine. Fail to plan and plan to fail. Steps to Success...and on and on and on. I've decided that I think one of the most important parts of goal setting is setting the most important and first step. You guessed it! Setting the goal to set the goals. Everyone I know is busy with day-to-day life. Getting up, going to work, coming home, dinner, a little television and off to bed to start over again. Life is what happens when we have other plans. So how do I set my goals? Many...

I have been in the recruiting software and HR technology industry for about 14 years and have seen some of the best and worst in most any company and any company's personnel. I myself have been in a few very bad situations with my job on the line and have handled things both very well and very badly, which is what this article is about. I guess it was about 8 years ago now that I almost ended my career with what we will call blame-a-nitus. I was a senior manager within a top Recruiting Software vendor and I had grown very resentful because several of the team that had begun with the company around the same time I had, were being promoted and I wasn't. In my frustration, I was very vocal and an all...

ATS, otherwise referred to as applicant tracking software, is a product specifically designed to streamline a company's hiring process. During the initial tech boom, applicant tracking software broke into the market with core features that focused on applicant management. These features mainly revolved around database systems to track each candidate in a company's hiring pipeline. The majority of first generation applicant tracking systems required companies to install proprietary software and each install included complex licensing agreements based on user arrangements. These early systems included limited feature built mainly by software engineers many steps removed from an actual recruiting...

Humanity's true advantage over any other species is our ability to build on past information. We have a keen sense of observation to determine how the world around us works, and we possess language to record and pass on those observations. Thousands of years of compiled information in mathematics, science, architecture and engineering has steadily advanced cultures around the world. When simplified, much of this observation, trial-and-error and progress boils down to one word - Analytics. Our ability to analyze past records and utilize the resulting statics has been paramount to our species' progress. In a sense, analytics has existed since our modest beginnings, sitting around a cave fire...

When you use recruiting software there are a lot of things to keep in mind. One of them is how important it is to use your recruiting management software to recruit via email. What you should look for in it is a feature that is capable of checking email addresses and ensuring they are all working addresses. If you are emailing to addresses that are no longer valid the SMTP and POP servers will know that. And, they could blacklist you because of it. That is the last thing you want to happen because it could negatively impact your global marketing campaign. So, you can see how important it is for your recruiting software to only be sending to valid email addresses. The next important step is to ensure...

1. Thou shalt pick an applicant management solution that is completely online. Many software solutions require lengthy and large downloads that can bog down your computer system and time efficiency.

Recruiters can log in at work, at home, on the road, at the airport or on vacation (if they are really devoted). Pretty much anywhere they have internet access, which today...

Software has come a long way since the concept of timesharing hit the early mainframe computers.

Please don't think of me as a person who knows how to ace every interview in every type of situation. However, executive level sales candidates know how and I just inhale the information. Even though I know these tips and tricks, when candidates have used this on me for internal hiring purposes, I still have a tough time deciphering who is just good and interviewing and who knows the tricks. I go with the former because to know these tricks, in the least, you have to be intelligent and, as you know, intelligence is one big part of the equation to success. Also, you have to take people at face value. Yes, taking people at face value will open you to getting burned now and again, but the only other...

One major issue not being addressed right now in the regulatory definitions which guide consumers and lawyers in business opportunities and franchising is the new term being used; Private Franchising. The Federal Trade Commission decided it would revise its definitions of such opportunities in 1995, but failed to address this issue. The use of the term; Private Franchising has grown over the years. There now exist some fraudulent activity going on in coffee shops across America with regards to multi-level marketing recruiters using this term, which disquises their business model as something it clearly is not. It appears that consumers have grown wise to MLM business opportunity sales tactics and...

If you have been in the network business for any length of time you understand that building a downline is the key to long term success. To do this you must become a better network marketing recruiter. To do that you have to be able to recruit new distributors. Today that is more easily accomplished than in the past. It has always been interesting to me that the majority of people who join a network marketing company quit because of 2 reasons. 1. They have no attachment to the product. 2. They never sponsor anyone. What happens is they join a mlm opportunity because they see dollar signs. They want to make money for whatever their reasons are. They buy products at wholesale to support their business...

THREE TYPES OF INSURANCE AGENT RECRUITERS First are those who do not spend over $1,000 a year recruiting. Next are those marketing recruiters relentlessly pursuing the $100,000 Salespeople or those agents they THINK are making a six figure income. Last are wise insurance marketers who realize they can make more sales overrides ignoring the $80,000 to $100,000 salespeople. LOOK AT THE MARKETPLACE There are considerably more $100,000 salespeople selling annuities and financial products. Now look at your competition. They want the highest income agents as much as you and maybe more. High competition means big budget spending, using not only direct approaches but very costly purchases of the magazine...

Especially in today's economic environment, employers are becoming increasingly "choosy" with regard whom they hire... and rightfully so. With the unemployment rate reaching highs that we have not seen in decades, more and more job seekers have resorted to "fabricated enthusiasm" in hopes of impressing recruiters. These candidates are willing to settle for a job they are less than passionate about, while waiting for a career opportunity for which they are truly qualified to come around. This makes for a not-so-happy employee, and one with the potential to infect his or her coworkers. This becomes costly for the employer who has needlessly wasted time, energy, and money on an employee who is unlikely...
