Salesman vs. sales manager? Benefits and shortcomings of both.. Interesting exercise..

Larry Thanx for the comment, hope you are doing well! Am I going to see you again this year at the Canatta Dinner?

Great post! 11. Assign a rep a topic (round robin) to present at the next weekly sales meeting. Rules- show the team a new selling feature / function / solution, present it as you would to a client, and keep it short ( 5 minutes max) & sweet. After presenting, stand and receive constructive criticism from the rest of the team. Keep it fun and informative- but don't take it the task lightly. This will improve product knowledge, research skills, and presentation skills.

Hope so. Planning on being there.

I like 11.!! I even like the rules better. Your thread also reminded me to add this. 12. Reps, especially new reps would be in charge of training their customers on how to use the system. At first, they would travel with the solutions engineer or (me) and watch them train the customer on how to print, copy and scan.

13.) I would ask my reps to tell me something what each ZBA in their 'top 20' actually do as a company. It's astounding how many "I don't know" I tend to hear.

I like 13 too! But what is ZBA?

Did that as well or sometimes would take several sheets of paper that I had done a sky shot with a copier and then looped them together...lol

Loved the reflection on the history of fax. Although this was a relatively low residual product it offered a new way to get in the door. In the 80's, I would follow the fed ex delivery driver who often was delivering some printed pages (agenda's, schedules, documents) that needed to be there next day or sooner. It was an ear opener when you tell them you can them there next minute without the $12.00 fedex charge. Using afterhours timing for reducing long distance charges helped separate...

@John Saramak now that's a cool plan! Follow the fedex driver, wish I could have thought of that one. Could only image how much more successful we could have been in the eighties if we were able to share information like this. Hope all is well with you!

Go ahead, you can do it, no one will see you. It's ok to hug your fax, if you still have one.   Funny, just today, I was at an office and they told me about one of their principals that was still using a computer with a 3.5 floppy drive. He...

Since, I've had so much time in the trenches, I've seen many sales people, and sales managers come and go.  I understand that many Sales Managers are some times handicapped with what they can and can't do.  But, If I were King and I had...
