It’s the same in any business: When you have satisfied employees, your business will be more successful. And the way to have satisfied employees is to make sure you have a successful sales culture – one where employees feel valued and appreciated. Does your insurance agency have a successful sales culture? Here are a few of the hallmarks:
- Employees understand their responsibilities and their roles within the agency
- Employees are provided adequate training and encouraged to take part in that training
- Your company has specific goals and you keep your agents updated on those goals
- Failures are seen as opportunities to brainstorm solutions rather than reasons to penalize
- Employees know their input is valued by their supervisors and the agency
Part of having a successful sales culture means supervisors and bosses have to demonstrate specific qualities, including these:
- Maintain a positive attitude at all times
- Be passionate and excited about challenges and successes
- Be willing to share weaknesses and failures as well as strengths and successes
- Be willing to offer guidance and training
- Practice an open-door policy so employees feel able to address their concerns
It may not sound easy, but the good news is, a successful sales culture tends to be self-perpetuating, which means once it becomes established, it can grow on its own We can help you build a team that feels passionate about what they do.
