Under the Sales Director are the following: The Sales Supervisor generally acts as a buffer between the sales team and the upper levels of management.

It is then the duty of the sales supervisor of the Cherry Mobile to ensure that such things are implemented by AMBER

SALES MANAGEMENT SALES QUOTA A sales quota is approximately used in many environments where goods or services are sold. It is essentially a target amount of sales that could be assessed on a daily, weekly, or monthly level. Whole selling units (like stores) may have a quota they must try to meet each month, as are individual salespeople. One means of assessing a salesperson's performance is by looking at his or her ability to hit the target on a regular basis or to exceed it. The sales quota of Cherry Mobile Amber is 300 units per month on its distribution branches. As the gaining popularity of AMBER an inexpensive android phone these quota will be meet. Even if quotas aren’t rigidly enforced as a condition upon which further employment takes place in Cherry Mobile, they do need to be talked about, and employees can benefit from review of their ability to meet them. In sales, there is always room for improvement and a review of sales targets may greatly help employee development. AMBER
SALES MANAGEMENT PREPARING THE SALES FORCE Constructing an effective sales force plan can be a grueling task for any manager. The right plan will motivate and incentivize sales force and be aligned with company goals. A poorly written plan can hurt morale, not to mention your bottom line. The prime purpose of a sales force plan is to focus the sales force in alignment with the business strategy of Cherry Mobile for its sale of the AMBER unit. Sales have to be a mutual commitment between the company and the salesperson so quotas should not you shove down their throats of the sales force, they'll choke. This will cause stressed and unmotivated sales force. So setting a realistic quota for the sales force will motivate them to reach that goal. Including a commission component, state labor law requires that it be in writing and signed by both employee and employer, this affects even those plans that combine base salary and commission. Commission will motivate the sales force in preparing them. Rules must be set in the commission component by Cherry Mobile in order to have a serene flow in preparing their sales force. AMBER
SALES PROCESS STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR SALES TEAM There are many ways to have a productive yet effective sales team. Being good is ruthless if you know you can be neither better nor best. But why should we have the best sales team? Because, a business entity should have revenue or income in order to keeps it going. Sales people don’t just stop at selling because they are making sure first that they should have a profit out of their efforts. They know the variables behind selling price itself that’s why they have in mind that they should be acquiring profit. No profit, the business will eventually stop on its operation. No operation means there’s no work to do. No work results to bad economy (and hungry citizens). Therefore, sales team is important. The following steps will help Cherry Mobile in having the best sales team: Step one: Hire a Great Sales Manager The company needs to employ a manager who is not only willing to engage the team, but can also identify weaknesses and work directly with sales staff to overcome their challenges. Many companies of today just promote their top sales people to managerial positions; it is good but the fact that some sales people are not that good in managing a team. Proper screening of applicants is the answer. Step two: Implement One-on-One Coaching Making the sales people feel that they are cared about can help in boosting their performance and loving their work. AMBER
SALES PROCESS Step three: Put Your Team on a Sales Diet Like anyone leading an unhealthy lifestyle, a sales staff sometimes needs a "sales diet" of sorts to get some perspective on challenges. But it's important to keep a balance between realistic goals and creating too much performance anxiety. Step Four: Looking to the Future, Hire Smart Stability of good performance of the sales force is good but nothing is better than having innovations and improvements from time to time. Quotas should be met constantly and not irregularly. AMBER
SALES PROCESS HOW TO HANDLE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE PROCESS Complaints with the phone and services can happen and is happening now with Cherry Mobile. And the sad thing is, sometimes their sales representatives just don’t give comments or suggestion to answer your problem and worst nags at you. Here are steps to properly handle the situation: 1. Listen to the customer concerns. Generally, concerns over an issue can be handled without it becoming a complaint. The manner in which the concern is handled will determine the intensity of the problem. Get the customer's name, address and phone number.  Acknowledge the problem by asking the customer to give details  Do not take the complaint personally. This could result in a biased decision. 2. Give the customer an opportunity to explain the problem without interruptions. Constantly interrupting the customer will only add fuel to the problem and may end in a shouting match.  Put yourself in the customer's place. Everyone has experienced bad service at some point.  Interrupting the customer will make the person feel your concern with the problem is not genuine.  Apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding.  Contact the correct party and explain the situation in the event you are not the right person to handle the complaint. AMBER
SALES PROCESS 3. Don't automatically take an employee's side against the customer.  Write down information regarding the interaction with the customer and how the situation was handled, if applicable. Give a copy of the information to your immediate supervisor. 4. Ask questions to clarify the problems and the causes.  Many times the problem may not be with the price, merchandise or service, but with an employee's negative attitude while dealing with the customer.  If language is a problem, find someone that speaks the customer's language for clear communication to expedite matters.  Explain to the customer that all feedback by a customer is valued by the company. 5. Find out how the customer wants the issue resolved. The resolution could be in the form of a replacement, refund, exchange, store credit or discount on price.  If the customer's request can be met, explain the time it takes to process or what it will entail to make it happen.  When a date is given to the customer, make sure the date is kept, or the delay is explained by a follow-up call or email. AMBER
SALES PROCESS Tips  Always follow up with the customer to ensure the complaint was handled in a quick and courteous manner. Warnings  Unsolved customer complaints can have a negative effect on a company's image. AMBER

  • 21. SALES PROCESS STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR SALES TEAM There are many ways to have a productive yet effective sales team. Being good is ruthless if you know you can be neither better nor best. But why should we have the best sales team? Because, a business entity should have revenue or income in order to keeps it going. Sales people don’t just stop at selling because they are making sure first that they should have a profit out of their efforts. They know the variables behind selling price itself that’s why they have in mind that they should be acquiring profit. No profit, the business will eventually stop on its operation. No operation means there’s no work to do. No work results to bad economy (and hungry citizens). Therefore, sales team is important. The following steps will help Cherry Mobile in having the best sales team: Step one: Hire a Great Sales Manager The company needs to employ a manager who is not only willing to engage the team, but can also identify weaknesses and work directly with sales staff to overcome their challenges. Many companies of today just promote their top sales people to managerial positions; it is good but the fact that some sales people are not that good in managing a team. Proper screening of applicants is the answer. Step two: Implement One-on-One Coaching Making the sales people feel that they are cared about can help in boosting their performance and loving their work. AMBER

Step Four: Looking to the Future, Hire Smart Stability of good performance of the sales force is good but nothing is better than having innovations and improvements from time to time. Quotas should be met constantly and not irregularly. AMBER
