Training for Sales Success





Once the right salesperson is hired then must be trained.
合适的销售人员一经雇用就要马上开始培训
Even experienced sales people need different forms of training in order to learn more about the specifics of the organization and what is expected of them.
甚至是经验丰富的销售人员也需要得到不同类型的培训,这样他们才能更加了解酒店的细节并且知道酒店对他们的预期。
Effective training allows salespeople to sell more productively.
有用的培训让销售人员的工作富有成效.

Each salesperson should have a firm foundation in the following key areas.
每一个销售人员都应在下列关键领域拥有扎实的基础技能。

·Knowledgable about the company: This gives sales people confidence when making sales calls. Sales people should know about the company in and out.
They should know about facilities, services, products, rates, operation hours, booking policies, hours of operation, meeting and banquet facilities and local attractions.
This information is gathered in a “sales kit” and is carried by each salesperson.
对公司的详尽了解:会让销售人员在销售拜访时充满信心。销售人员应对公司的里里外外了如指掌。比如设备、服务、产品、价格、经营时间、预订政策、宴会设施以及当地的旅游景点等。可将这些信息收集放在一个“销售工具包”,让每个销售员工人手一份。

·Office procedures:  Each salesperson should know about the sales office routine, the computer system, booking policies, the function book and other sales forms and reports.
Knowledge of the office SOPs is equally important in order to perform at the optimal level according company standards.
办公流程:每个销售员工都应清楚了解销售办公的例行程序、电脑系统、预订政策、会议活动簿和其他的销售形式及报告。有关办公室的标准操作规程知识也同等重要,这会让员工能根据酒店标准发挥其最佳水平。

·Performance standards: Every salesperson should know exactly what is expected of him or her in terms of deadlines, sales quotas, number and types of sales calls and number of accounts.
Salespeople are required to understand the market segments they are expected to target.
业绩标准:每个销售人员都应该清楚知道公司对他的预期,比如截止日期、销售配额、销售拜访的数量和类型、以及客户数量等方面。销售人员需要理解公司分配给他们的目标细分市场。

·Salesmanship in order to study the psychology of selling. Recognizing the motivations of buying decisions and the different personality types of buyers can help salespeople become more successful in their job.
推销术是为了研究销售心理。销售人员认识到客户购买决策的动机和不同类型的购买者可以帮助他们在工作中获得更大的成功。

Training methods may vary from company to company however some common techniques are used in mostly all hospitality companies.
每家酒店业公司的培训方法不尽相同,但有些方法是大家会普遍使用的。
Simulated sales calls, double calling, market segmentation drills, case study exercises, in-basket drills are the most common training techniques in order to develop salespeople’s diverse competencies.
模拟销售电话、二次销售拜访的情景、市场分割演练、案例研究练习、篮式训练都是培养销售人员多样化能力的最常用的训练技巧。
