Quick Pep-talk with Sales Staff

I try to keep our sales staff motivated, and we have a meeting each day before the day begins.  You see, as a manager, I have sales targets and need to make sure that we meet or exceed them.  I am not pushy by any means, but the meetings that we have each day help to highlight things that we can do to increase our sales with little effort.

For example, this morning, I was talking about the new line of TV screen protection products that we carry.  It is an easy upsell for customers that purchase a new plasma or LCD television.  It not only helps them to protect their television from damage (a real no-brainer for customers with children), but ensures that their investment will provide them years of enjoyment.

We also discussed some strategies on how to get the customer to buy a TV screen protector and the staff is going to try it out today.  I’ll be interested to see our final sales figures - I bet they will be much better than forecasted.
