"You never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression." Yet many new #salesmanagers I've worked with have created the wrong impression by either trying to fix everything in week 1 or by attempting to be somebody they're not. Here are 9 tips for an approach to take in your 1st week when you transition to #salesmanagement and how to create the impression that you can sustain. Remember at this stage your curiosity is your superpower. #salesleaders, what tips would you add?

🚀 Exciting Closing Days of Q2; creating momentum within your sales team is essential to hitting those targets! Here some tips to generate buzz and to keep your sales team motivated and focused: 1️⃣ Set clear and achievable goals: break down your targets into daily goals for last closing week. Celebrate small wins to keep the team motivated and aware of their progress towards the bigger goal. 2️⃣ Enable a competitive spirit: introduce friendly and fun competitions with leaderboards and incentives. Recognize and reward not just the highest sales, but also i.e. the most active, most improved and the hardest working team members. 3️⃣ Communicate constantly: hold daily stand-ups or check-ins to keep everyone aligned and focused. Use these meetings to share updates, celebrate wins, and discuss strategies for overcoming challenges. 4️⃣ Offer a supportive environment: encourage teamwork and collaboration. Pair up team members for peer coaching, and have reps share their successful tactics and tips with the rest of the team. 5️⃣ Boost momentum with fun activities: plan team-building activities or short breaks to keep the energy high. You could watch a European Cup game together, have online team coffee breaks, send a motivational video from the founder or arrange a surprise team lunch. These moments can recharge and refocus your team. Exchange tasks within the team to come up with fun daily activities to create activity, momentum and energy. Go and finish Q2 strong together! What are your best practices for keeping your sales team energized and motivated? Share your thoughts below! 👇 #motivationalmonday #closingweek

Monday Motivation! I want to take a moment to shine the spotlight on someone who's truly been crushing it lately - our very own BDR superstar, Muhammad Hussain Aslam ! 🚀 In his early 20s, Hussain isn't just riding the waves; he's making them! While our company record hovered around the 7-8 meeting mark, Hussain swooped in and set a staggering new record by scheduling 10 meetings! That's right, double digits! 📈🎉 His remarkable achievement is setting a new standard of excellence at Zaphyre. Hussain's dedication and hard work are a testament to the value he brings to our team. He's not just meeting goals; he's setting them! Now, in a lighter vein, let's all grab some popcorn and see how many of these meetings sail through the QC. No pressure, Hussain, but we're all eyes and ears! 😄🍿 But Jokes apart, it should be our job to highlight such achievements. Hussain, you've shown us what's possible with grit and determination. You're not just a team player; you're a team leader. Thank you for pushing the boundaries and inspiring us all. Remember my brother! Work selflessly. Work with your full dedication. Don't just limit what you learn. Learn more and spread that knowledge more. Here's to Hussain 🍸 Also Big Shout-out to Mahum Qureshi and Rahim O. who were there for him during the trainings and getting him on the track of hard working. Cheers to many more records to broken! #TeamZaphyre #RecordBreaker #MeetingMaestro #bdr #appreciation #appreciationpost #mondaymotivation

In 𝗦ales and 𝗕usiness 𝗗evelopment and want to switch off❓ Here are my 4️⃣ tips to give you peace of mind...see below ⬇️ It doesn't matter if it's :- 🎯 Targets 🤝 Meetings booked / attended 📉 Sales quotas 📊 KPIs or 👨💻 Activity It's the weekend - should be a "yay 🙋♂️" 𝗕𝗨𝗧 if it isn't. What next⁉️ Here's what we do & why. ▶️ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 - the week may not have gone your way. Don't just look at the lack of results, ask yourself what happened? Was the activity put in? ▶️ 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 - based on the results; was there something you could have done better? Did you follow the process? You do have a process, right? (if not, ask me) ▶️ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 - what have you learnt? Are there changes that need to be made? (Usually, yes) ▶️ 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 - Make the relevant changes to help you hit the ground running. This might be easier said than done. The alternative is going back to the office next week and having a repeat of an 🙅 "off week", this isn't something anyone wants. 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘 - 𝗦ales and 𝗕usiness 𝗗evelopment isn't a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 job. If something isn't working you will need to put in the extra time to ensure that things are up and running - the only person carrying the 🔦 torch is you.

What Does Month End Mean to You? For me, month end is more than just a deadline—it’s the final push to hit our targets and make every effort count! And a little more travelling ✈️ ✅ Connect with more clients/members – Now’s the time to reach out, make those connections, and strengthen relationships. Your next conversation could be the game-changer. ✅ Rework your strategy – If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to switch it up. Flexibility is key, especially when you're so close to the finish line. ✅ Confirm those last meetings – Got a few prospects left to close? Lock in those final meetings. Keep the pipeline flowing! ✅ Pull out all the stops – This is the time to go all in! Every little effort could be the difference between hitting your goals and missing them. And remember—have fun! The energy and excitement of hitting targets are contagious. Let’s make the most of this final push and finish strong! 💪 How do you approach month end?
