As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, now is the season to express appreciation for ones family, friends, home, health, and various other fortunes of life. Though it is common to count your personal blessings, have you ever considered listing your professional blessings? And more specifically, when was the last time you thanked your sales team, who may likely feel under-appreciated or underutilized?
The sales department plays a vital role in the success of any business. Their unique and important function is to build relationships with prospective customers and communicate the value of the products or services that a business has to offer.
This Thanksgiving holiday, consider taking a moment to recognize and thank your team for driving growth, maintaining a positive attitude, taking care of customers, and representing your company so well to the outside world.
Here are 7 reasons to thank your wonderful sales team as you reflect on your professional blessings during this holiday season:
1. Thank you for driving growth
A business is only as successful as their ability to sell their product or service, and sales people are the ones on the front line making that happen. You are the driving force behind closing deals and are willing to do whatever it takes in order to make it happen. Thank you for keeping us moving in an upwards trajectory.
2. Thank you for being available, responsible and collaborative
As mentioned earlier, a salesperson is the bridge to connecting a prospective customer with the product. Thank you for being willing to share ideas with one another and follow through with implementation.
3. Thank you for keeping a positive attitude
As a salesperson, each day is different and full of unique challenges as well as new opportunities and possibilities. Thank you for looking at the glass half full as you work through set-backs and focus on company goals.
4. Thank you for taking care of prospects and customers
If you are in this profession you are likely to be what some call a “people person,” someone who is particularly good at interacting with and relating to others. Your genuine care and concern plays a key role in building loyalty and trust between your company and its prospects or customers. Such personal connections is powerful and will have a long-lasting impact on customer relationships, often leading to repeat customers and increased referrals. For you, it is not just about what you trying to sell but who you are able to help.
