The Power of Handwritten Recognition. The best way to recognize great performance is by sending a handwritten motivational card. I believe there are two things that motivate most sales reps. 1. Is the ability to do the job they paid to and. 2. Being recognized for a job well done. Personalized hand-written notes are a rarity? With email and text messages it is very easy to bang off a quick note.

Our engagement strategies are, too often, failing us. I suspect it’s because we are asking the prospects (and perhaps ourselves) the wrong questions. At the lowest level of execution, we ask if they are interested in learning about our products or solutions. Or sometimes we are presumptive and tell them, without their asking. We are taught to ask about needs, but getting answers to those questions means the customer is actually fairly advanced in their buying journey.
