Five Ways to Increase Sales from Tellers

Filed under: Ben Kinning,Hiring,Sales Process Assessment,sales training — BenKinning @ 8:59 am

Improving the referral sales performance of a teller team is often the “elephant in the room” when discussing ways to improve revenue and sales performance for financial services companies. It’s easy to see why. Tellers make up the largest number of bank and credit union employees and have the majority of all conversations that your organization has with your customers and members. To many of your customers or members your tellers are the face of your organization. Your tellers have the best relationships with your customers or members, have the best access to information, and have greatest ability to identify sales opportunities. Despite this, most organizations struggle with tellers creating referral opportunities. (more…)

Are You Ready to Go Virtual in 2011?

Filed under: Ben Kinning,sales training — BenKinning @ 1:56 pm

We strongly believe that classroom based, instructor led training is still the best way for employees to begin the process of mastering new sales and service skills. The ability to interact and share ideas and experiences with peers helps build knowledge, along with practical application of that knowledge. Being with an experienced, energized instructor, who brings life to the materials and content, can expand the potential of our employees and have them reaching to do more than they ever thought they could. While online training has become more important, a group session, led by an instructor, remains the most effective way to transmit knowledge, plus shape a cultural change in how employees think about sales.

Require Skill Mastery to Maximize Results

Filed under: Ben Kinning,sales training — BenKinning @ 1:02 pm

We often say that employees don’t master selling skills in the classroom; they master selling skills on the job. That’s not to say that formal training is not a critical component of the overall selling skill mastery process. Great sales training presents best practices and gives employees ideas on the “what, when and how” of good selling. It provides an opportunity to rehearse new skills and behaviors in a safe environment, to share ideas, and to hear from subject matter experts. Training is only the initial step in a three phase process in developing sales skills and behaviors that also includes coaching and feedback and demonstrating skill mastery on the job. Demonstrating skill mastery and certification of selling skills are the subjects of this brief. (more…)
