Let me share a secret with you. Being a trainer is a fantastic job. You stand in front of a room of people and you make a difference to their lives. You become their hero as you walk them away from difficult circumstances that they might be encountering everyday, and hopefully in the process entertain them as well. What more could you want. Well in short nothing. It is the dream job.
But, within that same secret there are times when things do not go so well. Times where just one individual in the room can shake you to the core, and make all your plans, exercises and humorous and well placed quotes seem….well…..just rubbish. Fingers crossed you may be reading this now, and thinking I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. But one day without notice you will see the light, and in a conference room or boardroom somewhere, discover what all trainers have discovered.

Clearly communicate sales targets:
- Set expectations: Communicate sales objectives on a daily basis so your Agents know exactly what is expected of them.
- Provide feedback: Post daily sales results at each Agent’s desk or on-line so they know how they are performing versus expectations.
- Spot trends: Analyze results per Agent and, per product, to determine trends. Use these trends to coach your team to higher performance.
