ANOTHER New Member of my Team

Don't want to sound too samey - but wanted to "blog-share" my happiness!!!

I am very pleased to have appointed another new member to my team tonight. A lead given to me by my Area Manager of a lady who lives close by. She was fab, in fact I have a feeling we will become good friends.

I was hoping to have gone out prospecting with my Area Manager today but LIFE happens and we've postponed, fingers crossed it will be tomorrow.

So my team now consists of 4 members + me. Ideally I would like to have a hundred or so - AIM FOR THE STARS (is one of my favourite mottos!)

Training a New Rep

Just off out to help a new Rep get started - that is the kind of support that Essex-Reps and any sales leader can give. I will just pop by and help my new Rep to bag up the brochures with order forms and collection slip and pop them through a few doors with her. I will walk around and show her the roads she can cover and how the little black calling book can be of use.

Giving the new REP a Territory

I learned today, that when I have a REP all signed on in my LEADS section - I should not appoint them until I have assigned their territory - otherwise it will involve my Area Sales Leader having to phone or email round to sort it out afterwards!! (oops! and thankfully she is very forgiving!)

What I should have done was to log in before I had clicked "appoint" on said Rep from my Leads section or during that same hour or so would have been ok.

And then in My Team Office, I click on Spatial Mapping Application (SMA) and look on Territory, Click REQUEST TERRITORY putting in their name and postcode to find and assign an area.

SIMPLE REALLY - or could've been had I not ran before I could walk!
