SALES CURE MANY SINS
Business today is so much about trial and error. We seem to spend so much of the day in the dark. To move beyond the dark, serve up a sales program that works. As the team moves to grow rounds, members and more, what have you done to create a complete plan around the selling process? Have you built a program for the entire team to encourage sales, to build upselling, and to measure the actions of all team members? It is truly important that all staff members know they are responsible for sales. We don’t need to identify the role as a salesperson (as so many people do not like that title or what it implies), but we should have a daily plan in place. If you are a private club with 350 golfing members, you have a more limited opportunity to create additional sales daily. If you are a public course with say 4,000 to 8,000 unique clients, you have a wider opportunity. Either way, you should be working with every staff member on adding to the sales count daily. From golf merchandise, to membership, to an extra beer and desert, the staff should know as an absolute part of their position, that providing great service means creating more fun and service with larger receipts. It is non-negotiable. Service today cannot be judged by a smile alone. Here are 5 thoughts on a better sales effort by all:
