Guild Wars Guild :: Topic review - peuterey outlet How To Avoid Making Rash Promises

It is easy to be tempted to make rash promised when you are promoted to a [url=http://www.shewyne.com/peutereyoutlet.html]peuterey outlet[/url] management position as many new managers admit when attending management training. However making such promises early on can prove to be the undoing of many new managers.
A successful area sales manager is promoted to sales chief. Like many of his former colleagues he thought the division of sales areas in his company was fairly "absurd". As a result, on his first day as sales chief he held a meeting with his sales team and [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie[/url] announced that he was soon going to start reorganising the sales areas.
What he is unaware of is that his company is going to be merging with one [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour pas cher soldes[/url] of its competitors in six months' time and that because [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] of this imminent merger company management has consciously been delaying this badly needed restructuring.
The formal announcement therefore becomes an improbability and the sales team's disappointment is great: "It's always the same: once someone becomes the boss they don't care about their former colleagues and their problems."
Jurgen Gerhardus, Managing Director of the VA Academy of Management and Sales shows how to avoid false starts in a new position, irrespective of whether it be in your old company or a new one:
Before getting carried away and making any announcements make sure that you have a clear picture of [url=http://www.osterblade.com]moncler outlet[/url] the possibilities and limits of your new position. If you want to restructure sales areas you must make sure that you have the authority to do so. Do not promise or announce anything unless you are absolutely sure that you have received the green light from above.
Resist the temptation of committing yourself to a particular style of management. This temptation is particularly great if you have been annoyed by the authoritarian management style of your predecessor. It is dangerous to make rash promises such as:
"If you ever have a problem my door is always open."
"You know that I have come from your ranks and that I don't think much of unilateral decisions."
If you are overly accommodating with your former colleagues you will soon find that you are probably overwhelmed with work [url=http://www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html]giuseppe zanotti[/url] that they should in fact be doing. If your style of management is overly democratic this could also [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/abercrombiepascher/‎]abercrombie soldes[/url] lead to you having to tolerate wrong decisions if these were made on [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] a majority basis.
Do not let individual salespeople dictate too much. This is a issue that many newly appointed managers admit to on management [url=http://www.lcdmo.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] training courses. Salespeople who were always sent off with a flea in their ear from your predecessor see your promotion as a good chance to change things. One such example is a salesperson who always complained that other salespeople had better areas than him. Find out as much information about your predecessor's decisions before promising them a new area!
In case you were appointed because there are [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/jimmy-choo.php]jimmy choo paris[/url] plans for radical and unpleasant changes such as scaling down the sales team, avoid any masquerade. It is easier to pretend that you don't know anything about the plans in the first few days. But this type of behaviour only leads to you losing the trust and loyalty of your salespeople when the truth comes out! Do not gloss over things in order to survive the first few days without injury.
Tell your salespeople that there are going to be changes and that you will be discussing these with each of them individually at a given time.
If you want to make an inaugural speech to your sales team bear in mind the following three tips:
The first thing to do is to sell yourself and your qualifications to your sales team. Tell them what you have done in the past, the areas you have specialised in and the specialist knowledge that you have acquired. In short: let them know how you can contribute to the success of the company, the sales department and therefore their own success. However [url=http://www.shewyne.com/woolrichoutlet.html]woolrich sito ufficiale[/url] be careful not to lay it on too thick! Most people do not like people to blow their own trumpet.
Establish things you have in common: industry contacts, similar branch peaks and troughs, etc.
Make the salespeople warm to you by acknowledging their past performance: "You have managed to consistently extend your market share over the past few years."
You will also make your salespeople warm to you if you let them know that you could use their help: "Can you please help me to get the hang of things, particularly in the first few days." This will also give them a sense a value which is important to many [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] sales people as taught on good management training courses.
