Improve Sales with Effective Internal Sales and Sales Management Communication
So how can you improve internal communication
at your organization?
First you need to identify what is not working… There are great tools for internal communication that you may already have but:
• How do you measure it’s effectiveness?
• Are you getting everything you can out of your current resources?
• Are the employees retaining the information?
• Are they actually utilizing these resources?
Improve Sales with Effective Internal Sales and Sales Management Communication
Examples of communication channels that are overused, underused, misused or just not being taken advantage of: Email: Email is not what it used to be. People get a lot of email and there is no way to tell with an email if it is being received when it should be received or if it is being understood. Email Facts: • Users determine how emails are received, prioritized, viewed and when they are
saved. • Users can (and most often do) disable "Read Receipt" function for all incoming
emails eliminating ability to determine if email is received. • On average workers spend more than 30% of their time reading email. • If an employee is earns $35k per year, more than $10,000 is being paid to read
email.

Examples of communication channels that are overused, underused, misused or just not being taken advantage of:
SharePoint or Intranet For Internal Communication
◾Is what is being posted on actually being viewed? ◾Is what is being posted understandable? ◾How often is it being viewed after initial post to ensure complete understanding?
Most companies use intranet or SharePoint technology to improve internal communication. However without a measurable way to drive people to a Document Sharing or Update site, investing money alone simply does not improve business communication.

Examples of communication channels that are overused, underused, misused or just not being taken advantage of:
Relying on Supervisors or Trainers do deliver the message:
◾Are the people responsible to deliver crucial information delivering on time or at all? How do I know for sure?
◾Are they able to articulate the message in the way that a point needs to articulated?
◾Are the messages they are delivering being understood and retained?
◾Without going to everyone directly how can I prove that employees are receiving the crucial communication properly and at the crucial time?
