Friday I wrote this post and today I wrote this longer article about the Top 10 Differences between Sales Winners and Sales Losers.
This post is the sales management version of the article referenced above.
In that article, I asked sales professionals to rate themselves.
In this article, I'll ask you to rate each of your salespeople using the same scale. Top producers score 40-50. B players score 30-40. C Players score 20-30. Below 20? Losers.
Now, use this scale to rate your sales force.
80-100% A Players - You have an over achieving sales force. Congratulations!
50-80% A Players - You have a core of A players to build around. You're on the way.
30-50% A Players - You know what they look like, now go find some more!
Less than 30% A Players - You are working to hard, hoping for more but often getting less and your pushing the 18 wheeler up hill. You may need to start from scratch!
