Greetings!
It's official! Your April Sales Meeting Discussion Topic
will be the beginning of a whole year's worth of new
Topics to spice up your meetings, increase
attendance and elevate the productivity of your
salespeople.
In order to help you maximize the value of our
Discussion Topics, I am providing a few
suggestions for their use, and as a bonus, I'm
offering a fabulous reward to those who submit a
Topic idea that he can share. See the BONUS

NOTE: If you are not a manager, you can use his
ideas to improve your personal sales and you may
want to request permission to lead the discussion at
a staff meeting.

The Issue: "How Can I Keep Sales Meetings Interesting?"
|
|
by Conrad Elnes, Senior Trainer and Author
As I work with groups across the nation, many
managers lament the fact that after a few years on the
job, they have pretty much exhausted their supply of
ideas to break the monotony of routine numbers and
reports during staff meetings. They ask if we offer
anything that is interesting, fun, fresh, quick and
productive. Hence the development of the monthly
Sales Meeting Discussion Topics.

|
The Solution: Best Way To Employ The Topics
|
|
|
Every topic is designed to require about 20
minutes of
meeting time to be effective. Here is the process I
suggest you use: - When you receive and read
your Topic, plan how you will implement it at your next
meeting.
- At the meeting, discuss various ways people can
use the ideas. Ask lots of questions to draw everyone
out.
- Role play skills that can benefit from practice to
achieve fluency.
- Ask everyone to apply the skills/ideas for at least
30 days and be prepared to report
successes.
- Recognize/Reward those who share their
successes.
An interesting variation - Ask
various staff members to prepare the delivery of a
Topic. It removes the load from you and increases
their knowledge.
