How to handle multi generational sales teams? Problem: I am in charge of a very diverse group of sales. We have people from age 25-58, some are veterans in sales and a young group of beginners. What I can do to get the best out of each one, to achieve objectives and to keep them motivated? This is a very common problem in enterprises today. By the end of 2010, the generation and (the Millennium generation, or those born between 1977-1997) will be many more than the Baby Boomers. Current sales teams are composed of a diversity of generations that not only mean challenges by the diversity of personalities and working styles, but their motivations and aspirations. This fact testifies that sales managers must learn to communicate, motivate, and retain their teams using different styles to achieve the expected results, where the managerial style of the one size fits all doesn’t work anymore. According to Jeanne Meister, cofounder of Future Workplace and co author with Karie Willyerd of The 2020 Workplace: How Innovative Companies Attract, Develop and Keep Tomorrow s Employees Today (Harper, 2010). We describe below five things that should be taken into account to assume this new managerial challenge.

The most important thing is that you understand the general balance of the workforce is changing. Never before in history had been so many generations working together in the labor force. In a tough economy the traditionalists (born before 1946) keep working longer at their jobs. The Baby Boomers(nacidos entre 1946-‘1964) and the generation X (born between 1965-1976) s if they have not already reached it, are in search of management positions with more responsibility. The generation and (born between 1977-1997) are now entering the workforce in large numbers and with much preparation. And although the generation by 2020, i.e. persons born after 1997, are not in the labour force the management must be already thinking about the needs and the expectations of a very connected generation digitally.

One of the first challenges that has people who want to do business on the internet is the investment they have to do. Many people think that needed several hundreds of dollars, but in this article I will show you that you will only need $1.00 to start to generate several dollars that you then reinviertas and grow your business like the foam. What you need to start your business? The first thing you need is to have a capture page where the visitor will leave your data or a way of having them. We can use a fan page in facebook, which will take us just a few minutes to create them or make a simple design of a capture page and upload it to a free server. The second thing you need is a professional autoresponder, thus we join it to our capture page to send them messages of follow-up, mini courses, videos, etc. to our list. So we will create something that is very important: A relationship of trust with our subscribers, since you will be sending information to them It will help to provide solutions to their problems. The third thing you need is to offer a product, either yours or of third parties (which will receive a Commission for each sale that you make).

Now that you have communication with your list, you already know and they know that what they offer for free is of very good quality, you can offer or suggest any product and is likely my that your followers to acquire it, well within their minds you’re positioned as a person who always recommend something good for them and without hesitation will make case to your suggestions. The fourth thing you’ll need is organic traffic (SEO) and this succeed you making videos and hang them on platforms like youtube, metacafe, dailymotion, etc. Here you mostraras as an expert and you can generate traffic for your blog, your Facebook either. You can also promote the products you want by placing inside the description links to sales letters. As you will notice, it is an easy process, but does not mean that we do not need effort and dedication, as a very common mistake people who started in business on the internet is that they have no patience. If you don’t have it yet, it’s time to learn how to have it, it is a virtue of all those who are in this category.
