The birth of sales superstar - 5

The birth of sales superstar - 5






Factor affecting sales – its not the fault of sales representative.

Don’t blame us.  Don’t blame us.

As front line getting sales, company cash flow may also depend on the sales and collection of customers. However, I would like to stress that, when sales are not good, not only blame us.

When sales person cannot hit the sales target, it is not sales person’s fault. Don’t blame everything on the sales person. Branding manager may have the wrong campaign. Purchaser may buy in the wrong product. Top management may have gone in the wrong direction.

Here, just to share, what factors affect the sales of a company? Which factors can be controlled? Which factors can be out of our control.  What are the micro and macro factors that affect sales.

Factors that may affect sales.

1-      Company reputation.
2-      Marketing and branding strategy.
3-      Leadership and motivation factors by leader.
4-      Macro factor such as political, economy down turn, currency drop.
5-      Bad customer service and after sales / maintenance services
6-      Bad pricing strategy
Love your sales person and appreciate your sales person.

 (I have a half day workshop on analysis of the sales performance.)
