How to motivate my sales staff?

by this stuff or else

Well, give them a quota.... meaning if they reached the target percentage of sales for half year, or quarterly, they will have a trip to Boracay for 2 that is if you are from the Philippines. If for the other parts of the globe, just do the same. I am sure, that will make them happy and will be eager to reach their quota. Have a nice day :)

Let them have some seminars.

tell them , hard works pay off and never give up

If I am your sales staff, I would be motivated by honest and sincere appreciation of my efforts as part of your team. Contrary to what most managers perceive, employees are not solely motivated by money- this is only secondary. Your sales staff will be more motivated if they sense that you believe in them. Let them hear your verbal appreciation on top of any reward/bonuses that you will give. Be generous in your praise, and make them feel that they are as important as the product they sell.

a visit to a strip club and an all night orgy for the highest producing salesperson each week.

They say that money is not a motivator. An odd thing because you would expect it to be. But food rewards, and little gifts of appriciation seem to help according to a managing magazine I read. If you choose a monitary type of reward I would recommend it come in the form of a bonus at the end of a sale where they reached a certain goal.

take a management course- it will help. In the mean time, you have to show them appreciation for their work. This may sound a little juvenile, but everyone likes to be recognized for their work once in a while, it motivates them to work harder.

Give your staff some motivational CD's to listen too..They help me everyday. I work in Sales. I'm a Certified Travel Agent, and I do pretty good and I'm happy with myself and believe in myself. So I truly believe motivational CD's helps, alot of encouragement as well helps too.. Good luck, if you travel please visit my booking engine www.kateztravel.biz and click on book travel.
