Sales staff training plan
To do a good job in the training of sales staff, we must make a training plan. When organizing the training plan, the sales manager should determine the training content, training method and training schedule.
(a) the content of the training.
The contents of the training plan for enterprise salespeople often vary according to the needs of work and the talents that salespeople already have, and generally include the following contents:
1. Enterprise profile (including: enterprise history, importance, status, marketing strategy, corporate culture, etc.). ).
2. Relevant knowledge of the products sold (including: product use, structure, quality, technology, packaging, price, maintenance methods, etc. ).
3. Basic knowledge of product sales.
4. Technical knowledge in sales.
5. Sales market knowledge.
6. Knowledge of administrative work.
7. Know the customer type.
(2) Training methods.
The sales manager should determine the specific training methods of sales staff according to the actual situation of the enterprise. Commonly used training methods mainly include the following:
1. On-the-job training: On-the-job training requires salespeople to receive training while working. This method does not affect the work, but also improves the quality of sales staff and enhances their business ability. This is the most commonly used method.
2. Personal meeting: a meeting in which trained sales personnel participate in the discussion alone.
3. Group meeting: A meeting in which many trained salespeople form a group to participate in the discussion.
4. Individual letters and telegrams: The enterprise training department sends letters and telegrams to each salesperson according to the specific situation.
5. Sales meeting: consciously let sales staff often attend sales meetings held within the enterprise to achieve the purpose of training.
6. Class training: The enterprise regularly provides training courses to systematically train the sales staff.
7. Communication training: use communication equipment to train sales staff.
(3) Determine the training time.
When determining the training practice, the sales manager should not only ensure the training effect, but also not excessively affect the normal business of the enterprise. According to the different professional stages of sales staff, the training time can be divided into:
1. The training of newly hired sales staff generally takes 1-2 weeks.
2. The training of old salespeople, that is, regular training, has the following situations: (1) training for half an hour every day. (2) Training for 2 hours per week. (3) On-the-job training is from 1 thoughtful 1 month every two years. (4) Intensive training every five years 1 month.
3. Further training. It is necessary to determine the length of time and the number of people for each training according to the specific situation of the enterprise.
When determining the training time of sales staff, the sales manager should also consider the factors that have an impact on the training time. Common factors that affect the training time of sales staff are:
1. Product factors. If the technical level of products is higher and the technical requirements are more complicated, the training time of sales personnel should be longer.
2. Market factors. The more competitors there are in the market and the fiercer the competition, the longer the training time should be.
3. Quality factors of sales staff. If the salespeople are comprehensive and savvy, the training time can be relatively short. On the contrary, if the quality of sales staff is mediocre, the training time should be longer.
4. Sales skill factors. If the goods to be sold are luxury goods with a wide range of choices, and salespeople are required to have advanced sales skills, then the training time will be longer.
5. Training method factors. Simple lectures may take more time. On the contrary, if audio-visual training is combined, the training time can be shortened by half.
(four) to determine the training personnel.
When making the training plan, the sales manager should also determine the trainers. Trainers include organizers and lecturers.
The work of organizing employees includes: preparation before training, service during training and aftermath after training.
The lecturer can be a senior sales manager and experienced person in the enterprise, or an external expert professor who often has expertise.
(5) Determine the trainees.
For the sales manager, all his salespeople should attend training to improve their professional quality. However, in determining the trainees, the following points should be noted:
1. Students have a strong interest in sales and have the ability to complete sales tasks.
2. Trainees have a strong thirst for knowledge, that is, individuals hope to acquire the required knowledge and skills through professional training.
3. Trainees should have the spirit of applying what they have learned.
(six) to determine the implementation procedures.
The training should be carried out step by step, so that the new knowledge can be combined with the trainees' known parts, and it is not appropriate to repeat or disconnect, which will affect the trainees' interest or cause confusion of knowledge. The general implementation process is as follows:
1. Initial training.
The training of new employees in enterprises can enable trainees to acquire the basic knowledge and sales skills needed for sales work.
2. Supervise the training.
When the enterprise grows or the product line changes, the knowledge of the sales staff must be updated; Sales staff should also know the market situation when they are transferred from one region to another; When the production process or structure of the product changes, the sales staff should also carry out supervision and training.
3. Review the training.
When customer complaints increase or the sales performance of sales staff continues to decline, the sales manager should hold such training to give sales staff an opportunity to review sales skills or discussions. Guide sales staff to adapt to changes in the market environment and correct any unwanted behavior in time when serious problems arise.
