Keeping Monday morning sales team meetings fresh and energizing takes some effort. Here are three ideas to liven up your Monday Morning Sales Team Meetings.
1. Athletes do this.. why not you? Baseball players have at-bat music, wrestlers have entrance music and teams have theme songs. Ask your team to choose and share their theme song for the quarter. Ask them to share the song and why they chose it. There are many things you can do with these theme songs throughout the quarter - use them during sales team meetings, set their reports to music, fire them up by playing the song on their voicemail. Music is powerful - use the power!
2. Invite customers to your sales team meetings. Once per month, invite a different customer to join your sales team meeting for a few minutes. Ask them why they buy from your company, what they hear from your competitors, what they would change about working with your company, what would make them stay or leave and anything else you want to know. Then, do something with the information in the next meeting.
3. Change venues for your meeting. If you meet in person, have your meeting outside or at a coffee house. If you meet on the phone, ask everyone to visit their local Kinko's and hop on a videoconference. Change venues each month. It is amazing how a change in environment changes a mood.
