Mahesh  |  Supported idea  "Salespeople should be prepared & organized"  |  4 years ago
I go with both of the first 2 ideas, because an extra effort on the sales job will always lead to knowledge and will get you a better understanding of the product and project.
Makrand Bhave  |  Added idea  "Asses the need!"  |  4 years ago
Assess the need. Weed out customers who have just come to 'window shop'. Quote the best applicable rate and try to throw some 'freebee's'. Ease the process of 'loan'. describe the locational advantage vis-avis the cost and last but not the least...

Every business goes through cycles. Even the residential real estate market--which some pundits once dubbed 'recession-proof'--is on the decline nationwide. As those in the construction industry know, the ups and downs of the construction industry are often more pronounced than in other sectors of the economy. How does a construction company deal with the inevitable ebbs and flows of the business? Unfortunately, there is no cookie-cutter solution. Each business is different, so you need a strategy that's right for your firm and considers its particular strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few ideas to consider. Take a Long-Term View Business owners often make the mistake of simply reacting ...

  Stay Liquid: In down times cash is king. Review credit policies for customers and take credit from suppliers. Increase cash discounts for customers if required.   Enhance customer relationships: One to one close relationship with customers is a must. Build relationship with all customers including small customers which you may not have got enough attention during economic boom. Listen to customers, know their situation and accept their demands and complaints wherever possible. Build up their confidence level.   Don’t sack employees instead try to build up their confidence level. Sacking employees lowers motivation level of employees and creates an atmosphere of fear and mistrust which is bound to affect work. It also spoils public image of the company in the market. If required implement pay cuts and freeze all pay hikes for all employees. Start pay cuts from the top to create a good image.   Review all expenses in all departments.   Keep costs as low as possible. Review all...

Indian retailing industry has seen phenomenal growth in the last five years (2001-2006). Organized retailing has finally emerged from the shadows of unorganized retailing and is contributing significantly to the growth of Indian retail sector. Also India has topped the AT Kearney’s annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) for the third consecutive year, maintaining its position as the most attractive market for retail investment. Critical Highlights of Indian Retail Sector: Organized retail will form 10% of total retailing by the end of this decade (2010). From 2006 to 2010, the organized sector will grow at the CAGR of around 49.53% per annum. Cultural and regional differences in India are the biggest challenges in front of retailers. This factor deters the retailers in India from adopting a single retail format. Hypermarket is emerging as the most favorable format for the time being in India. The arrival of multinationals will further push the growth of hypermarket format,...
