Added for You - Supporting Remote Team Performance
When we try to shortcut the sales process, we make sales harder and stressful. Short cuts are long cuts and make many sales impossible. To bring in more and larger schedules, make sales happen faster and dissolve objections, follow the sales process. The first step is Getting Ready, creating a foundation. The second step is Getting In. If you can’t get in, you can’t sell anything. Keep your first (phone or in person) call on purpose: to get an appoin

A Knowledge@Wharton article based on joint research with the Harvard Business School says now may be the time to re-evaluate the corporate efficacy of process management and tailor them to the right applications. Studies show that misapplied process management can hinder companies and dull innovation. "In the appropriate setting, process management activities can help companies improve efficiency, but the risk is that you misapply these programs, in particular in ar
At CAL we have been involved with remote teams for a number of years and have spend time understanding was makes a good team and what makes a great team. The problems with a team that is not located in one place are different to standard office-based team issues and although there is no magic wand or standard problems here are a few classic issues.
Communications – It can be frustrating to be waiting on information from other team members and this can cause tension in the team. Of course the cause can be due to poor procedures, lack of training or inadequate technology, but is a management issue even if it is only a perceived problem. The results of these factors in a remote team will be isolation and the feeling of being out of contact with the organisation’s heart beat.
Collaboration – Where more than one team member is involved in a project or task. This is the fundamental reason why a team exists because of the need to work together. This vital skill set can be anything from non-existent to excellent and is normally the result of a good team, working well and successfully. This comes through team building and working together. If you want to know if your team is a team, ask yourself ‘Are we a team or just a group of individuals working on the same task?’ If you find that your team is just a group of individuals, then you need to examine what benefits a team culture would bring.

There is some activity going on in Wichita even as India comes online to start building light aircraft again. It seems that every time it looks like Wichita is in a spiral, someone puts the ball back in the center kicks the rudder back to zero and pulls back on the yoke. Well, I’ll be damned the onlookers say. It is as if the founding city of the first US Mail Planes still has some powerful spirits flying around from the past entrepreneurs and pioneers who made Wich

When I tell people I'm a copywriter, I sometimes get a glazed-over look. "What kind of writer?" Or better yet, "A copyRIGHTER? Are you some kind of lawyer?" They just don't understand how a copywriter can help them. So here's the scoop. Basically, we're salespeople with the time and expertise to make you look good on paper.Sure, you can write your own copy…if you can find time in your grueling schedule. (Hopefully it will sound professional). Maybe you're ner

I’ve had it up to here with self-appointed sales experts who pop-off with nothing but disrespect for cold-calling.They don’t know what they’re talking about and they appeal to the worst possible motivation in other salespeople: The desire to get something for nothing.Cold calling takes work, and genuine salespeople don’t mind that one bit. As Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach said, true winners love to not only be on the field of pl

Many companies find payroll to be monotonous and taxing. This is so because of the many government authorities– federal, state and local-- who tax payrolls in America, plus the numerous unions, banks and credit unions, and health insurance plans that people can barely keep up with. Online payroll services help eliminate the stress and confusion related to payroll processing. One of the best benefits of submitting payroll online is the speed, precision and safety of
Control – The management and control of a remote team is vital to ensure that issues are identified early and action to correct is taken. By giving control to the team manager or leader, you allow the team to feel both valued and motivated, problems are dealt with and overcome, and productivity increases. Very often an organisation can be working well on one location, meeting all management good practice, but not utilising this successful structure throughout the rest of the organisation. Any organisation must have a clear understanding of how effective a team is and learn lessons to replicate successful strategies within other teams. It is so often the case that teams become ineffective over a number of years, as early signs of productivity decay are just disregarded or even accepted as the norm.
If a team is working, then the temptation is to ‘leave well alone’, but this inaction can cause problems, for example:
o Motivation – If team members feel there is no focus or commitment to the team you will lose motivation and the teams inner momentum. At best, it will still function - at worst they will be a group of individuals, some of which will be self-motivated, others will not.
o Isolation - This can start as feeling out of contact, but end up as feeling under valued and alone.
o Efficiency – Task will take longer and no effort will be forthcoming on improving the team working.
o Hostility – Individuals will feel others are letting down the team, or they work harder than another member or team. This is usually a result of other facto
