Managing Sales in Contact Centers: Boost Revenues in a Sales or Service/Sales Environment

Discover proven practices in the areas of hiring, incentives, sales coaching and retention of top performers

An application-oriented workshop that will transform the way you approach sales in your center

Uncover Missing Revenue Opportunities

There is a system for sustaining peak sales in call centers! In this workshop, you will learn how to create an environment that is conducive to selling and is self-sustaining, even with changes in product and personnel. This “hands-on” workshop will debunk the myths surrounding selling in call centers and explore the proven practices of leading centers that are creating major value for their companies. By the end of this two-day workshop, you will know the amount of missing revenue in your center(s) and have a plan to address it.

Answer Your Toughest Sales Management Questions

You will explore your own practices in this interactive, action-focused seminar. You’ll get answers to questions you’ve always wondered about, such as:

  • Are great sales reps born or made?
  • How can I motivate my sales or service/sales reps?
  • What sales metrics are most important?
  • What is the best way to transition service only reps to also sell?
  • What can I do to increase the sales of all reps?
  • How do I keep my top performers?
  • What close tools are most effective for my customers?

This seminar is appropriate for both sales centers and sales/service centers. While the focus is on generating revenue on inbound contacts, much of what is covered will apply to outbound sales as well. Any contact center manager tasked with bringing revenue to the bottom line will benefit from this workshop!

You’ll uncover proven practices to:

  • Create incentive systems that ensure a financial payback
  • Use analytic tools to find lost revenue
  • Hire top sales reps
  • Utilize effective sales coaching methods

  • Avoid the three most common incentive plan mistakes
  • Decide when and how to use sales contests
