          After sending last week’s SoundManagement about the teacher’s sell and the importance of a frequency of three, a Regional Sales Manager made an astute observation.
\n<\/span><\/span>          Talking to a co-worker she discussed how ‘annoying’ it was that she had to tell her staff everything three times as well. By mistake, she sent me a message about the teacher’s sell that simply said, “That’s annoying”.
\n<\/span><\/span>          When I responded asking what was annoying and asking if she wanted to cancel SoundManagement, she explained she had hit reply by accident, and that the message was meant to go to her co-worker in reference to having to communicate messages three times to staff.
\n<\/span><\/span>          Two valuable lessons were learned.<\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson 1:<\/u> Sales people are people too! That’s not wrong, it’s just normal. They need repetition before they get your message.
\n<\/span><\/span>If it’s important, cover it in a sales meeting (that’s once), send a memo or email (that’s twice) and be sure to discuss it at your one-on-one coaching session (that’s three times).<\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson 2:<\/u> A lesson I’ve personally learned the hard way…always, always, always double-check and re-read your emails before you hit send.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

P.S. The embarrassed<\/span> Regional Sales Manager and I had a good laugh about the error, and she made it clear she wants to continue to receive SoundManagement. If you know someone who might like to receive this free weekly service please forward their email address to us.<\/span><\/p>\n
