How’s life in the land of the free?

Are you one of millions of Americans who need credit just to make ends meet? Do you live live on the edge with more money going out each month than coming in?

You are not alone.

* In May 2007 CNN Money reported that American men in their 30’s are earning less than their father’s generation did. After adjusting for inflation, men in their 30’s in 2004 had a median income of about $35,000 per year, for a 12 percent drop compared with $40,000 per year for men in the same age group in 1974.

There is not one person in the world who has not laughed at least once in their life. Why?

Life in and of itself is funny. I am going to share seven (7) reasons why humorous speakers laugh all the way to the bank and how you can cash in as well:

1.) Life is too serious, laughter provides balance in life and is healthy.

2.) Humorous speakers know how to resonate with their audience by tickling the funny bone.

3.) Professional speakers tell stories about their marriage because spouse stories are funny.

As the ring-ring sing-song cells or mobiles are threatening to outnumber the hapless mortals of this planet earth certain behavioral patterns are fast emerging on the scene driving you almost to your wits’ end. Times are changed. Once upon a time a person walking talking to himself/herself in the street was called a lunatic, now he/she is a proud high-end user.

The said behavioral patterns can either be amusing or irritating or plain intruding. We are more concerned for the disturbing patterns. We have tried to record some patterns here a few of which may be region specific and so can be ignored or just enjoyed by patrons not belonging to that particular region.

Are you concerned that you are not monitoring the performance of your company’s salespeople properly or effectively? Would you like to have a "report card" that can help you gauge the effectiveness of each salesperson’s performance? What should this report card look like? Report card frequency and time frame(s).The first questions to answer when designing a sales report card are:

• How frequently do you want to produce a report card?
• What time frame(s) do you want the report card to cover?Here are some additional questions that will help you zero in on useful answers to the first two questions:
• What data do you have on hand that can help you measure sales performance?
• How often is this data updated?
• How difficult is it to extract the data from your company’s systems?
• How much advance notice do you want of potential sales performance problems?

As you might imagine, the more frequently you examine sales performance, the sooner you will learn about potential performance problems. More frequent inspection will also give you more lead time to take action to correct sales performance problems before thy become critical (i.e., job threatening). The trade-off is the cost of time and resources that must be invested to compile "report card" data. If you have results, measure results The simplest and most accessible measures of sales performance are the results produced by each salesperson. You can measure sales results by answering the following questions:

• How much revenue did the salesperson generate?
• How did this revenue compare to the salesperson’s budget?
• How much gross profit did the salesperson generate?
• How did this gross profit compare to the salesperson’s budget? This part of the report card might contain the following data elements:
• Actual Revenue $ * Budget Revenue $
• Revenue Delta $ (Actual Revenue $ - Budget Revenue $)
• Revenue Delta % [(Actual Revenue $ - Budget Revenue $)/Budget Revenue $]
• Actual Gross Profit $
• Budget Gross Profit $
• Gross Profit Delta $ (Actual Gross Profit $ - Budget Gross Profit $)
• Gross Profit Delta % [(Actual Gross Profit $ - Budget Gross Profit $)/Budget Gross Profit $] Do you agree that the above data elements will give you a good "at a glance" feel for a salesperson’s performance?

If you don’t have results (or ENOUGH results), measure ACTIVITY Unfortunately, for many salespeople results do not tell the whole story. What do you do if you don’t like the results a salesperson is producing? What do you do when a salesperson shows some flashes of ability, but his or her performance is not consistent? How do you determine what the problem(s) might be? For that matter, how do you determine whether a brand new salesperson is performing enough of the right activities to meet his or her 30, 60, and 90 day performance goals?

If you don’t have results to measure, or if you are trying to trouble-shoot why a salesperson is not producing enough results, you need to inspect the salesperson’s activities. Since activity inspection is a substantial topic on its own, it will be addressed in part two of this article.
