Use This Sales Tracking Chart To Drastically Improve Your Team’s Performance – INSTORE MAG
Posted: at 2:44 pm
THE AVERAGE CLOSING ratio in U.S. jewelry stores is 27-33 percent. How can you improve upon that? The answer can vary not only by store, but by salesperson. Thats why Ive developed the sales tracking chart you see illustrated to the right.
Every morning, each salesperson should pick up a new form. On it, they will track every sales opportunity they have for that day: every battery client, every repair, every sales presentation. Each area should be marked yes or no. At the end of the day (and measured over time), you will discover where you need to do the most training.
The first two areas are self-explanatory: Was the sweet spot (10-15 feet inside the front door to the right of the customer) covered, and was the customer greeted within five seconds by the team member standing there? Next, was the customer there for a repair?
The fourth box tracks whether or not the sale was closed, and the next column tracks if the client was T.O.ed or team-sold. Assuming they were, the salesperson should also record who came in to help. Now the manager can track who each salesperson has the most success working with.
Write yes in the next column if you close an add-on sale. Remember, add-on sales only take 30 seconds because the client is in a buying mood. Try for a 10 percent or better closing ratio with add-ons.
Write yes in the Wow column if you show the client an incredible diamond, piece of jewelry or beautiful timepiece before they leave. People buy on impulse all the time, and wowing is something your competitors never do.
There are also columns for gathering information, walking the client to the door and giving him or her two business cards, and follow-up after the sale. Then there is a column for servant seller. This is a sales associate who serves as a runner so that the primary salesperson doesnt have to leave the client. The servant seller can go in the back to polish jewelry, bring needed tools or items, or serve a beverage. Mark yes if someone served in that capacity. The last column is whether the salesperson called in the sales manager or owner for a team-sell.
Your salespeople should fill this out right away after they finish with each client. It only takes a few seconds. Always fill it out with total honesty. If they dont fill it out accurately, you dont get the information you need for training. If youre not honest with yourself, you cant grow in the areas of your weaknesses.
The chart allows you to set goals for team-selling, wowing, adding on and changing bad habits. Most importantly, it changes the clients experience.

Is Your Hotel Sales Team Ready For The Transition From "Fishing For Inbound Leads" To "Sales Hunting? | By Doug Kennedy – Hospitality…
Posted: at 2:44 pm
In the course of a few months, the hotel group, conference, event, and BT sales landscape has transitioned from a period of historically high demand to near zero. After the tidal wave of cancellations and postponements in March, followed by an eerily quiet April and May when many were furloughed, hotel salespeople are now returning to an entirely new sales habitat.
Is your sales team ready? The last 10+ years of growth have allowed hotel sales to be more about "fishing" for new leads. Most salespeople could simply wait for a meeting or event planning "fish" swim by and bite on digital "bait" such as a hotel website or meeting planning platform, then reel it into the net. For the foreseeable future, the schools of hungry fish have been dispersed and few are even nibbling at the digital bait.
Now is the time for hotel salespeople to put on their bright orange vests and go out to hunt down new business. Yet to continue with the analogy, the skills and equipment needed for hunting are significantly different from what is needed for fishing. The lack of "sales hunting" skills is by no means any fault of today's hotel salespeople nor due to a lack of effort. With leads flooding inboxes for years now, salespeople were misguided by a number of longstanding facilities, especially these two:
As salespeople return from furlough, or for some salespeople, return from covering shifts at their front desk, they are finding an entirely new environment, requiring new sales processes. Conceivably, those who have worked in sales for as long as 11 years have never experienced a recessionary market, while "seasoned veterans" are out of practice.
Additionally, many sales leaders themselves are unsure of what to do. Instead, many are directing their sales staff to use outdated methods that no longer work. For example, many are assigning salespeople to simply meet standards for "cold calling," such as to place X number of calls or send Y number of emails each day, without regard to the quality of effort. This may have worked after 9/11, but today this results in planners receiving annoying voicemails (because the won't pick-up unknown numbers) or spammy-looking emails such as "We have implemented new cleaning standards, so keep us in mind if you have any meetings in our city."
So what is the solution? At KTN our mantra, which is also the name of our new sales training program, is called Create New Sales Habitudes for a New Sales Habitat! I just love the word "habitude," as it combines "habits" with "attitudes," both of which are essential at the moment. Here are a few sales training tips from our KTN private webcam training and coaching packages and from our newest on-site training workshops.
Get Salespeople to Believe! It's hard to get motivated to sell if you think the situation is hopeless. Encourage open discussions where salespeople can honestly share their fears and hesitations. Leaders, reach out to others in your network, such as your brand, management company, CVB/DMO, and area competitors, and solicit examples of sales hunters who even today are successfully bagging live game!
Organize Your Sales Lead "Flow." When I conduct sales process audits, I find that few salespeople fully utilize their sales CRM/lead tracking tool. Instead, they use a mixed bag of flagged emails, handwritten notes on printed RFP's, post-its, to-do lists, and Excel/Sheets docs. A well-organized "flow" will allow you to hunt for leads with tenacity and to follow-up relentlessly without seeming too pushy.
Prospecting Skills - Part One: Hunters first must know where to go to find the game they are pursuing. Some hotel sales staff have previously been using the many invaluable tools available these days, but when I conduct our KTN sales audits, I find that few have been using them consistently. These include Linkedin premium versions, ZoomInfo, Knowland, and of course the smart use of Boolean Search in Google. Right now, especially with so much displacement of BT business and the general climate of disruption, it's also great time to use an old-school method of looking closely at in-house guests, company names, etc
Prospecting Skills - Part Two: Having identified who sales prospects are, many sales "fishers" need some help with stalking their game in the wilderness. Many need to re-learn sales fundamentals such as what to say during a phone solicitation. Here's one very basic example. If you reach a live person, do not start by saying "Is this Mr. Kennedy? How are you today? Is this a good time to talk?" as people will think you are that robocaller from the IRS, Social Security Office. Instead, immediately state your name, hotel name, and very briefly your reason for calling, then ask if they have a moment to talk or if you could at least send them introductory info.
Prospecting Skills - Part Three: It's time to embrace new "tech for touch" methods, especially video email, narrated screen sharing, online meetings, and even texting camera phone images. I've covered these so many times in other articles, and it's a bit much to rehash here, but if any new readers want copies of previous train-the-trainer articles just email me or visit our website http://www.KennedyTrainingNetwork.com
Polish-Up Your Negotiating Skills. Be assured that savvy planners, as well as travelers in general, are all going to be in "deal-seeking" mode. It's almost as if those who are being hunted can smell blood oozing from the wounds of hunters! With daily media reports on hotels having historically low occupancy, even those who can well afford higher rates are asking for discounts and concessions. In summary, many hotel salespeople will wake up every day, feel victimized by the current habitat, and wish things were back to being the way they were in January of 2020. Others will jump out of bed a bit earlier than normal, don their bright orange vest, grab their cross-bow, and head out to the woods to explore a new habitat. Which type of sales team are you leading?

Also on sale in Jordan is the Middle Easts 'Best Sub-compact Sedan', the new MG5, as well as the all-new MG RX8 seven-seater SUV, the MG RX5 SUV, the MG 6 sedan and new MG ZS sub-compact SUV.

Residents call for council to ‘defund the police’ – Foothills Sun Gazette
Posted: at 2:44 pm
Visalia has only enacted two of the eight policies of requiring warning before shooting and duty to intervene, which requires officers present and observing another officer using unreasonable force to intercede and report it to a supervisor. The six other policies include: banning chokeholds and strangleholds; required de-escalationtactics; requiring officers to exhaust all alternatives before shooting; banning shooting at moving vehicles; comprehensive reporting; and use of the force continuum, which restricts the most severe types of force to the most extreme situations and creates clear policy restrictions on the use of each police weapon and tactic.
The Tulare Police Department is the only other department to enact at least one of the policies, according to EightCantWait.org.
City officials and staff pointed out they were not there to talk about the entire city budget or even the entire police department budget. Instead, the meeting was strictly to discuss the budget for Measure N, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2016. Measure N revenues are projected to be $11.4 million in 2020-21, just 5% of the citys overall budget.
People have already talked about wanting to shift funds from one thing to another, city manager Randy Groom said. Measure N was voted on by the voters with a very specific expenditure plan, which means the voters said this is what we wanted the money to be spent on and by law it has to be spent on that. In fact, there is an oversight committee that makes sure we spend money on exactly what voters said they wanted it spent on.
Jeremy Fredericksen spoke during public comment asking the city to begin its reforms with the $4.1 million in Measure N funding earmarked for police in 2020-21. He called on the council to rethink and reimagine its police funding by spending that money to train officers on anti-racist practices and retrain them on de-escalation and harm reduction tactics.
Listen to the voices of people here tonight and create a new Measure N budget that reflects values of most vulnerable populations, a budget that reflects that you do believe that Black Lives Matter in Visalia, a budget that reenvisions what our city can do to stop the racism that runs through the institutions of our city and make Visalia an example to cities across the country, Fredericksen said.
The voter-mandated spending plan earmarks36% of the sales tax for police, a third for roads, 13% for fire, 10% for maintenance, 5% for parks and recreation, 2% for youth services and 1% for a reserve fund. The police portion of next years Measure N budget is $2.8 million.
We have no authority to change any of this tonight, Mayor Bob Link said.

Hasbrouck Heights Library to Offer Online Activities Throughout the Summer – TAPinto.net
Posted: at 2:42 pm
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ - TheTrustees of the Free Public Library of Hasbrouck Heights discussed the current online offerings to community members as well as the future of a phased-in re-opening.
According to Mimi Hui, Library Director, Governor Phil Murphy signed an Administrative Order last Friday allowing libraries to begin offering curbside delivery on Monday, June 15. The order was officially signed by New Jersey State Police Superintendent Patrick Callahan on Saturday. The Hasbrouck Heights Library is in the process of establishing curbside service while making "safety a number one priority."
Hui also noted that the library continues to interact with the public through its website,social media accounts, and issuing new digital library cards. She explained that registration for the summer reading program has opened and already has over 100 participants, including children, teens, and adults. She said that Youth Services Librarian Maureen Herman is planning special events in July and August, including a virtual escape room based on J.K.Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." In addition, the adult book club will continue throughout the summer.

You have successfully signed up for the TAPinto Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge/Teterboro Newsletter.
Looking ahead to re-opening, Hui said the Library is looking to guidance from two task forces working with libraries throughout the state. She said those guidelines will be adopted and tweaked specifically for Hasbrouck Heights needs. She said that returned items are quarantined for 72 hours.
A possible protocol for when the library re-opens is a self-check out process, which could take one of two ways. One way would be for a patron to check out with an app on their cellphone, while a second would be a dedicated ipad to scan books and items at the front desk. The Trustees voted to explore both methods.
Trustee Rose Heck lauded the Hui and her staff for their continued efforts during the shutdown and recommended the group formally commend them for their servicein "going above and beyond."
