Sales Management Tools Reduce Sales Staff Turnover and Save $ Millions
ProLeaders Business Advisors Help Formulate Sales Strategy, Management and Training to Boost Revenues and Reduces Costs
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/28/12 -- The turnover rate of sales personnel is notoriously high, as is the cost of replacing personnel and having to train someone new. According to Lisa Terrenzi, co-founder and CEO of , ProLeaders, the solution to staff turnover lies in top notch sales management, sales strategy, and effective training of sales personnel.
"Many companies we've worked with have a high sales personnel turnover," said Ms. Terrenzi. "Sometimes the problem is lack of a sales strategy but, more often than not, companies fall short on the sales training, which is a vital part of sales management."
Although staff turnover is often one of a company's largest expenses, the actual costs tend to be hidden. Direct costs like separation pay, taxes, advertising, signing bonuses, finder's fees, and overtime pay to existing personnel trying to take up the slack until new people are hired are easy to track.
But a number of indirect expenses are not taken into account: Time spent by HR conducting exit interviews and interviewing potential new hires, testing, meetings, new staff orientation, job training, and other administrative functions related to both the departing and newly hired staff all add up. There's also the lost production of all concerned.
In fact, the total cost of replacing an employee is 38% of that employee's annual salary, according to estimates by the Society for Human Resource Management and other experts.
"The figures are astounding. The average turnover rate of sales personnel in the U.S. is 26% and there are 20 million salespeople just in the top 30 direct-selling corporations. If you estimate each person's salary at $50,000, and if it costs 38% of that to fire someone and hire someone new, you're talking about billions of wasted dollars," said Ms. Terrenzi. "Good strategy, good sales management and good training can reduce those costs significantly."
