All the appreciation in the world isn't enough to keep one motivated all year round, specially if that one happens to be a sales person
So what do you suggest would be the best ways to keep that motivation going !?!

I would suggest a small personalized memento would be the ideal gift this season. However, if budget is not a concern or if the target mass to be gifted is less in number, then a trendy electronic gadget like iPod or USB flash drive would be a good option. They are very much appreciated by everyone and can be personalized too.

It is true that appreciation alone wouldn't enough to keep one motivated all year round. He should be given proper recognition and authority to undertake action on behalf of the company. Proper incentives and increments to the deserving candidates are must to keep the motivation going on.

well

i would wana say just one thing that when you love what you do you....and you would not seek for any motivation..

Majority of the times sales people do it for the hake of doing it...

Me as a person have always preffered simple principles in life and so is one for all of you..

LOVE WHATEVER YOU DO...

Good thoughts shared by each one of you. I would want to know whether is there any other way that we can motivate the team? What to do if they just dont want to perform? more than 2 months and no results. Any suggestions?

hello sheetal,
If there is no outcome for 2/more months then its sure the problem is very specific one to the individual.random motivation approaches must be avoided and where exactly the problem lies must be discovered.

Well guys, I think that we had some good discussions here about the motivation, and this is very important. However, what is more important; is the outcome from that motivation, or as our friend here SHEETAL asked; that is there is no outcome for two months ...

As to focus on the reply, first thing next week wait for it ...

Hi all,

Greetings! I was a salesman for over 25 years at various levels and in various segments. I consider the following to be basic traits of a salesman.

Firstly, he is run by an achievement mentality. what ever he does, he always needs to achieve it and be happy at his achievement.

Secondly, he needs always his hardwork be rewarded; therefore, he never wants to listen that he is cheated by the company in receiving his money, commission, rewards etc.

Third, he is a disciplined soldier. He goes on fighting in the field. But he needs correct direction and instruction from his manager.

In the light of this, any motivation that the management thinks to offer would be governed by these basic principles.

Thanks and regards,

KS Rao

Better train the Managers how to keep their sales force motivated, because at the end it is their responsibility to achieve targets. If the Sales force did not achieve targets then the first one to fire is their direct manager ... not the staff.
Qualified managers if their staff fail to achieve targets they immediately submit resignation. In third world countries they always sacrifice the weak loop of the chain and fire the sales staff instead.
