1. Build Confidence for the Future

Confidence boosts productivity: When employees are confident about their future, they perform better.

2. Turn Sales Leaders Into Coaches

Identify successful leaders within the sales group and develop ways for them to act as coaches with the other sales team members. Leaders will enjoy the recognition they get from sharing their special sales techniques and best practices.

3. Make Your Process More Efficient

Focus on increasing efficiencies of the sales process. Does the company have the proper sales strategy in place? Some of the biggest gains in increased sales will come from improving or streamlining the sales process, so make sure your policies allow sales reps to make the sale while spending the least amount of time in front of the customer.

4. Boost Morale

Morale is similar to confidence: A sales team with high morale will always outperform one with low morale, getting more work done with fewer resources and better attitude.

5. Encourage Teamwork

Individuals on a team will get more work done in less time than individuals working in a nonteam environment. Team members care about each other and the outcome of their combined performance.
