7 Challenges Faced by Leaders of Multigenerational Organization

Enhance Sales in a Multigenerational Sales Team

Today’s sales teams are multigenerational. The benefits are plentiful. However, motivating different generations in the workplace is challenging. Here is the answer.

Engage your employees and boost your sales

Employee engagement is most commonly associated with employee motivation, increasing morale, aiding employees to give their best each day, and boosting productivity in the workplace. However, engaged employees also strengthen brand. They become brand advocates, helping to engage customers not because of process, but because of belief in the brand. This boosts sales. To achieve this, an organization must develop an internal comms strategy aimed at creating the culture in which employees are engaged with its brand.

Why human skills are essential to boost sales in an AI world

In an AI world, sales teams will still rely on human skills to build rapport and trust and develop the human connections that create loyal customers.
