360 Feedback for More Sales
Posted by: | Comments
Perhaps in no other field is income related more to success than in the sales field. In most cases, the more you sell the more you make; the fewer the sales the less income you receive. Obviously then, the more we can eliminate our weaknesses and strengthen our strengths the more success we can be.
Well timed, relevant, and constructive feedback provides the greatest motivation to change. It is axiomatic that good feedback gives people the information they need to change. Why? Because feedback generates insight and a better understanding of what is currently working and what is not. Thus, given this information we are able to set priorities for our own development. These priorities can be turned into personal development plans; and the result is improved ways of operating that will enhance our sales effectiveness.
In this process one tool is the 360 feedback instrument, or more specifically Everything DiSC® 363™ for Leaders. This instrument for enhanced sales effectiveness:
- Generates a report of some 22+ pages that is all about the sales leader
- Is an all-new research-validated model
- Has intuitive, easy to read visuals and rich cuts of data and feedback breakdowns
- Includes a comprehensive listing of rater comments
- Includes three strategies for improving effectiveness
