IT’S NOT “AN EFFORT”
I am sure you have heard it before: a manager tells the team “this last quarter was tough, sales were down everywhere……..we need a better effort.” The business, any business in fact is about selling. The people in the business need to sell each and every day, if that business first is to survive, then eventually thrive. The idea is not to give pep talks, and not to insist on a “better effort”. It is about building a philosophy and then a system around sales and selling. Today, we are talking about building a healthy business by getting every person on the payroll to understand their role, no matter their job. Everyone must be involved in the sales process. Everyone must sell!
This post will provide 5 thoughts about creating a sales culture with each person on the team. Because a golf property has so many things to sell, from memberships, a tee time, golf balls, hamburgers, outings, parties, weddings, etc, it stands to reason that every person on the team must be in the know about sales. Succeeding in sales is not through a passive effort. Here are today’s highfives concerning sales at the property:
Make your club all about sales. If there is a written strategy with recognition and rewards, sales will increase because people want to be part of a good thing and feel part of your success. Sales is not an effort……it is the oxygen that allows the club and staff to breath.
