Group Sales Shopping

 

The shopping calls conducted for us by Hannah Marketing are a particularly valuable form of feedback for all levels of sales people, be they senior or junior. The tapes provide unbiased feedback, enabling the sales manager to listen to his or her presentation of information, probing and handling of planners’ questions. The shopping calls are a very powerful tool in assessing the needs and skills training of the sales team.

A simple, low-cost way to ensure the effectiveness of a property’s Group Sales Team is to conduct periodic "shopping" calls. The shopping calls conducted by Hannah Marketing not only reflect our experience in directing sales teams, but also are consistent with the Group Sales Training we conduct.

The evaluation criteria used are customized to meet the property’s specific needs. Typically, they include such skill areas as product knowledge, qualifying the caller, overcoming objections, positioning the property, etc.

Depending on the property’s needs, Hannah Marketing will summarize the calls overall in a separate report, or simply provide the completed evaluations for each call.
