Recently I was a guest at an all-day sales session. in the evening

After dinner, the vice president in charge of the company's sales department, two districts

The manager awarded a lady and a gentleman. In their last year

This time more than sold. Then the vice president

To tell the two District Managers how they did those wonderful things

He said, each of them was given 15 minutes for this.

1st District Manager (later I heard he was appointed only three months ago.

and that achievement of his organization was his only partial accession) to all

He told how he sold such records.

This gentleman seems to have increased sales with a single effort. “I am

After giving this responsibility, I did this, I did that.” “The whole thing is an awkward mess

It happened, I fixed everything.” "What trouble! I did not give up despite that,” was.

The subject of his speech. While this gentleman was giving a speech I his team of salesmen

I could see the dissatisfaction in the eyes. The district manager indulged in self-praise.

Their contribution was completely ignored. The real reason for the increase in sales is their strictness

No importance was given to hard work.

Then, the second district manager got up, just a few words into Nye's speech said. But this lady's speech was completely opposite. He is the first

Said that the entire credit for the success of his company goes to their dedicated employees. After that

Ask each of them to stand up and congratulate each employee individually told.

The difference is noticeable: the first manager hears the praise of the vice president himself

Pulled off the full feat, which made his colleagues angry at him, their morale

broke down The second is the workforce by giving full credit to its salesmen

Became more enthusiastic, more efficient. The second understood that money is an investment

Appreciation investment is also profitable. He knew how to give full credit to colleagues

Next year they will work harder.

Remember, there is power in praise Appreciated by his superiors

Invest it in the right place; Praise the inferiors, they are better at it

will work Sharing compliments will help subordinates understand that you value them

Practice it daily, you will reap the benefits. Ask yourself every day

Ask 'What can I do today to make my wife and family happy?

It may sound simplistic, but very rewarding. One evening

Sales training is about “creating the right home environment for success”.

I was discussing To convince the salesmen (they are all married

was) asked, "When is special for the wife other than festivals, wedding anniversary, wife's birthday."

gave a gift?"

I was also shocked to hear the answer. Only one in two dozen last month

He bought his wife a special gift. "Three or four years ago," many said.

And more than a third said, "I don't remember."

Think about it. Even after that, many people treat their wives with special, intimate behavior

expecting I wanted to convince those salesmen about the importance of well thought out gifts.

I took a florist with me before the dawn of the next day. his

Add: "A small example of making changes in the home environment

Granted, all of you will surely be surprised by its incredible response.

A beautiful red for 50 cents each from this florist

Please buy roses. If none of you have 50 cents

Or if you think your spouse doesn't deserve a 50 cent rose (all

laughed a lot), I am buying the flower myself. Today everyone goes home and gives flowers to his wife.

Give it a try, give me feedback tomorrow.

"Of course, don't go to say that this idea was not imagined by anyone." everyone understood there was not a single exception. The next day each told them for only 50 cents

Everyone had a smile on his wife's face.
