The Importance of the Sales Team in a Software Company
By John Kenzy
I have worked for about 15 years in sales and most of my friends and work
colleagues have a sales background.
There is one question that always comes to mind. What makes a product, the
product itself or the people that present that product to the clients?
I have come to the conclusion that it is the people that present and sell
the product or service that make it a sellable good. Without a good sales and
marketing team you are dead, no matter how good the product is. Sales just
won’t come in.
You can specially notice this when a salesperson leaves a company. If he was
good you’ll start to see your clients creep slowly away. The sale was made
because of the confidence that was built up with the sales representative.
You take away that person and the client usually feels he has no longer a good
product or service, even if the product or service is actually better than
it was when it initially got sold.
Trying to make them hang on to you is not easy, you will probably need a better
salesperson than the one that has left and, even then, if the client doesn’t
relate as well to your new salesperson you’ll very probably lose the client
and there’ll be nothing you can do about it.
The situation is not easy to solve. It seems some companies in Spain (which
is where I’m based) have started to use a more friendly approach when making
salespeople redundant. Establish a deal where the salesperson can still get
the client’s phone call when he calls so the client still has that person to
speak with.
Though it seems like a very short term solution really. This salesperson might
not be able to answer the calls still coming from the old company and he’ll
have to negotiate with the new employer so that they’ll allow him to do this.
This doesn’t seem plausible in the long run.
Even if this was a reasonable solution it would only really be valid for the
treatment the clients get when calling the sales representative. There are
some online businesses working only from the net and the phone nowadays but
for big clients the sales rep has to visit this client too. The personal touch
is very important and there are very few deals that have been done anywhere
without meeting face to face with your client.
That client will obviously want to continue seeing your salesperson’s face
every once in a while. If he doesn’t then he’ll most probably leave anyway.
Even if your ex-sales rep still calls him and receives his calls.
So, it seems there is not an easy solution to the problem. The only real solution
would be ‘If you have a good sales representative then keep him’. Not much
more to it.
Saying this is easy but sticking to it is impossible, specially the way business
is like nowadays. So the next best option is that we get our sales managers,
the ones who have been working for years with us and are committed to the company,
to contact these clients when the deals are made too. This way our customers
will have a good relationship with the sales rep that did the sale and also
with the company committed sales manager that will stay on for years to come.
It is not a perfect solution, but it will probably help us lose fewer clients
when these inevitable things happen.

Fast Ways to Earn Money Online
By Dan Chapman
Do you want to make some fast money? Why not do what thousands of people are
doing and learn to market on the internet. You don’t have to be a marketing
wizard to make good money on the internet.
An internet business is a serious and as important to home based business
entrepreneurs as any other business. Many people are looking for fast ways
to earn on the web in order to make a comfortable living. People want financial
freedom and more time to spend with family and friends. Starting your own internet
business can give you those things.
Internet has become the most effective marketing medium with its reach covering
the entire globe. There are also various websites which offer business opportunities
that are home based. Some of those are ones like Ebay, Amazon.com, online survey
companies and affiliate marketing companies. You can market your own products
or other companies products or services mostly on commission basis. There are
numerous internet marketing systems and choosing the appropriate one for you
is the key to success in your endeavor.In order to earn fast money on the net, you have to work smart. It is also
important that you learn how to effectively market your products online. There
are many ways to do this without spending any money. If you are new to internet
marketing having a mentor here that is dependable and supportive is a must.
They will equip you with good marketing strategies and ideas which enable you
to become successful on the internet. Earning money then is only a matter of
time.
There are many online marketers that you will run into when searching for an
online opportunity, like Ty Coughlin’s reverse funnel system, Jay Kubassek’s
Carbon copy pro, EDC gold, Passport to Wealth,Coastal Vacations, etc. The training,
mentorship and compensation plan is what make all the difference.
Be careful as some of these companies operate on the pass up plan where you
must pass up one or even two of your first sales to your mentor and after that
your mentor breaks away from you and has no financial incentive to help you.
In fact that person becomes your competitor! I have known several people who
this has happened to. If you are experienced this may not be a big deal to
you.
A lot of companies have weekly training through conference calls and webinars
which will help you learn the business quickly. Your mentor should teach you
exactly what they do to create success online. Listen to them and follow the
system and don’t give up. Set goals for yourself and you will be on your way
to achieving your dreams and aspirations!
