Scenario 3
The Sales Manager approached you, asking you to help with two team
members.
The sales team is relatively new and inexperienced. He feels that they would
benefit from your guidance.
Sam and Alex, two sales team members, need to build relationships with
customers, suppliers, and fellow salespeople to achieve personal development
and organisational goals.
Sales Team Member 1 - Sam:
Has issues with internal and external suppliers who consistently miss delivery
dates and won’t cooperate in keeping costs down for customers. Consequently,
he has problems with his customers; he feels suppliers don’t understand his
needs as a client.
Sam finds conflicts hard and avoids addressing them, hoping the problem will
resolve itself. Sam feels he would benefit from hearing how others negotiate
terms with suppliers.
Right now, however, he has very little respect for them as they’ve let him
down.
Sales Team Member 2 - Alex:
Has issues with customers who don’t understand a good deal when they see it.
He’s also tired of chasing ‘deadbeats’ for settling accounts on credit. Alex
would like to know how others deal with such ‘fools’ and still maintain a sense
of self-respect.
Apply a collaborative approach to support Sam and Alex to perform work tasks.
Develop an action plan (Template 3) to support the two team members ( 4 key
actions/plans). This may include training, networking, mentoring and any other
activity that may support Sam and Alex perform better in their roles.
Document the action plans (Template 3)
