Just as doctors can have issues with medical malpractice; today’s sales professionals can also have issues with malpractice as well. While you may think that malpractice has nothing at all to do with sales; it actually does. Just as a doctor will prescribe medication to cure a certain issue and they will need to prescribe the right medication to cure the right issue, a professional sales expert will need to prescribe the right product or service to the right client; otherwise they will be committing sales malpractice. Also if you are prescribing a product solution before the client has been diagnosed or their issues have been brought to life; then you are committing sales malpractice.
Unfortunately, sales malpractice is often committed in today’s environment and if you think you have ever committed sales malpractice then you will want to make sure that you are doing what you can to prevent this from ever happening with you or your team again. The best way to prevent sales malpractice from happening is with the right training for you and your entire team. If you want to know how to prevent sales malpractice through effective sales training then your first step is to make sure that the members of your team understand what sales malpractice is. Many sales professionals today have no idea that they are committing sales malpractice in the first place; so the first and most important step should be to make sure your sales team is fully aware of what sales malpractice is.
You will also want to get to the underlying problems that sales people tend to have with sales and with turning prospects into clients. Many times getting to the bottom of this issue is what will be able to help prevent medical malpractice from happening in the first place. The right training program should work individually with sales members to help them see their issues and help train them to assist their prospects in finding out the products and services that they really need to help resolve their problems. When the sales professionals and the prospects are both on the same page and they both know what the void is that needs to be filled; then the right product or service can be prescribed. This is the best way not only to get more sales but to make sure that medical malpractice is being avoided.
