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? It is very easy to bang off a quick note with email and text messages. If you want to differentiate yourself as a manager, handwriting personalized recognition cards are very motivating.
If you want to be a STAR sales manager, make sure you have various motivational cards at your disposal.
Make sending recognition notes a discipline. The key is planning time to do this. I used to book one hour every month to write recognition notes.
I was blown away when one of my sales reps, Christine, came up to me six months later and said how much she appreciated my note. WOW, personal handwritten communication is a POWERFUL form of recognition.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s tip.
