Your sales representatives really love you.
You know them all so well…they know your kids names, you know all their kids names, you kid each other about your quirks and eccentricities. You laugh and joke with them and enjoy each others company. They love you!
But are you so close to your reps that they don’t take you as seriously as you should?
You know what I’m talking about. Being their friend is so easy, so fun, so….dangerous.
Remember, you’re the boss and as my father once said:
“I’m not your friend…I’m your father”.
I remember it REALLY stung when he said it at the time…but he was right.
If this is the case, you may need to back off on the “familiarity” a bit. This is a difficult sales management task to do, which is why we teach you how to do it at www.salesmanagementmastery.com
Because if your salespeople are too familiar with you, then sometimes, they are less likely to follow you.
Its a fine line between being their friend and being their leader. You can avoid this by not becoming too familiar with them to start.
Its tough because its a constantly moving line…and its hard to know where it is at any given point.
That’s what every business dreams of having, a service that tell you exactly what a fresh economics graduate could tell you about your products. The only trouble with fresh economics graduates is that they don’t come cheap, some corporations even offer 50,000 a year starting pay. There was no way I could even come close to offering that. Thankfully, I found this great service that does just the same. Run.It systems was that one service that helped me better understand my inventory and the module for the demand of my products. That’s all I needed, now I’m rushing to get everything done and really enjoy it too. I love the idea of finally getting ahead and doing what I needed to help my business excel. That’s exactly what it’s been doing too. Growing and growing, and I don’t need to even pay this service 50,000 a year, it’s not even close to that!
In starting your home business, shipping options was probably not one of the first considerations you made. Shipping is an important component of business as it is the means and path you use to get the product to the customer. Shipping should be done with care and consideration and fully planned out from the execution of your business.
Cost of shipping and materials is a relevant matter as the direct cost can eat away at your budget and profit. Shipping services offer to provide materials and arrange for pick-up and delivery but are often at a price that is out of reach for new businesses. Arranging shipping on your own can be done easily and cost effectively with a few steps.
Start with acquiring the appropriate shipping materials. For small non-delicate items, polybags are the most economical packaging materials available. These plastic bags typically come with self adhesive closures and are lightweight. Print a label and your product is ready to go.
