High Quality Team Experience SummarySome questions to reflect on:•Does everyone believe in my team’s purpose?•Are we using the team minimums in our LC? (everyone has a JD, induction, functional training, weekly team meetings, team days, evaluation, coaching, tracking)
•Are our strategies and goals clear? I am empowering my members to achieve them?
•Am I role modeling behavior?•How does each of my team members roles help them become the person they want to be?
Let’s talk about Sales Blitz!•What are ways to engage your members?•What are ways to motivate them to participate?•What are ways to provide them with rewards and recognition?
•How do TM & iGIP work together to make this happen?
Sales Blitz GCPs (Good Case Practices)“Have older members lead them, attach attendance (and participation) with R&R, send follow up emails with progress and the sign up sheet nightly!” - AIESEC Arizona State
“Mandatory participation. We require at least 2 hours of calling from all LC Members. It helps make the Blitz successful AND instills in your members the importance of cross-functional synergy.” – AIESEC Chapel Hill
• Send out a picture to the groupme or panlist every time someone gets a meeting for motivation.
• Have clearly typed out instructions for newies/everyone else to follow. also have instructions for the facis (ICXers/EB)
• LCM prior to sales blitz, go over cold call training and objection management, get them practice, and have them write a script.
• Have a huge list of companies that ICX has researched to ensure we're targeting right companies.
• Have list of ICX meeting availabilities so members can easily pick times that work for meetings.
- AIESEC Yale
Sales Blitz GCPs (Good Case Practices)
• Reminding them of the professional development that they'll get from this experience - talking to high level executives (which is half the reason most people joined). Diversifying your motivation tactics - not everyone is driven by prizes/intrinsically/competition/etc.
Having logistics completely planned out so "nothing" can go wrong and there's no confusion about anything or where someone is supposed to be.
- AIESEC Austin
Sales Blitz GCPs (Good Case Practices)
“Provide leads. That requires additional prep work but then you are more likely to get more calls made by members and more meetings booked. We used a lead generation program like Hoover's or D&B. Those programs cost money to use but I found out that our public library provides free access to all cardholders so I just got a free library card and got us access!” – AIESEC Chapel Hill“Our EB is also holding their office hours at or near the location so they can be on site and a part of the Blitz as much as possible. We also do this right after our new members have started on their teams as a way to both harness their initial motivation as well as use it as a good hands on activity to show them what we are about.”-AIESEC Eau Claire
Sales Blitz GCPs (Good Case Practices)
Sales Blitz BCPs (Bad Case Practices)Good/Bad: Your EB needs to be involved and supportive and holding members accountable. During my first Sales Blitz I wanted there to always be an EB member in the cold calling room actively making calls to be a good example and holding members accountable who were slacking. However, I didn't set clear expectations with my co-VPs and they were not supportive and the Blitz caused more drama than bonding within our EB. However, that changed during the second Blitz and things were significantly smoother and more successful! – AIESEC Chapel Hill
Waiting until the day before to tell them at our LCM was a stupid idea (we have LCMs on Sunday nights). Give them lots of notice and make the few LCMs before that be a space for build-up for the event. Basically, make it a BFD with lots of build-up from the beginning of the semester. - AIESEC Arizona State
