Have You Already Fired Anybody?

Have you already fired anybody?
I’d like to inform you that many managers do the same mistake which might appear to be rather troublesome for the entire activity itself. I mean that managers are likely to hold somebody employed too long with a tendency to be everlasting. The matter is that it would be more rational to find a skilful substitute for rather than brushing up consequences of somebody’s mediocre job. The worst thing is that in this case the overall performance of your sales team might be lowered till bottom while you require only skillful top staff. How long are you going to sacrifice your productivity for the sake of somebody’s mediocre job?

By the way these words are quite true for any industry and any other human activity. As rule such mediocre performers have a big experience of changing many jobs. Moreover these guys have no experience in sales activity. This means that you’ll have to apply huge efforts to teach them spending your free time of course and dispersing your precious attention. It goes without saying that it’s much easier to find already prepared well qualified guys, though learning is a separate topic for discussion I should say. Certainly your newcomers are likely to underestimate the necessity to work hard and of course they feel the lack of motivation in most cases. So naturally they have miserable chances to succeed. They’ve just got a new job and they are only interested to stick to it fro their salary and nothing else. If you are manager then I can assure you that without appropriate salespersons you won’t succeed in your field.

At the same time all of this mentioned above shouldn’t be considered as the order to fire your bad guys right now, because there might be some essential peculiarities which should be taken into consideration. For instance you might face an unfavorable market situation when your suppliers or producers suddenly refuse to cooperate with you. In this case it’s not advisable to fire your bad guys because this sudden unpleasant event can teach them. But on the other hand you shouldn’t be too kind to them. There’s no need to pretend to be kind without evident reasons. Certainly I can’t say that you should be a sort of tyrant, but don’t make a mistake by taking too much care who hasn’t got a serious attitude to your business. Some managers still hope that one day their bad guys will turn into top sellers. But I don’t believe in miracles. Laziness and mediocre attitude can be noticed from the very beginning with subsequent conclusions if required. But if you consider some guys to be promising then you should educate them appropriately. That will be the only alternative to their firing to my mind.
