Calling On Neighbors

One very easy change to your corporate culture that reflects good sales management is making it mandatory to call on neighbors. Every time a member of your team makes a call on a customer, they should call on neighbors. This works in the consumer and in the business world. Everyone and every company has neighbors. Good sales management might require each representative to talk with three neighbors on every visit to a customer. This sales management techniques turns one appointment into possibly three. Set numbers that must be achieved such as one appointment per 10 neighbors called on. This one technique will increase the number of presentations your staff performs each and every week with no cost for advertising. This will only work if the sales manager insists on receiving the three names, addresses and phone numbers called on as part of every visit report and if they keep track of how many appointments are generated from the neighbors contacted.
