Can your list of guest speakers in South Africa help with sales? Without a doubt they can. Certain guest speakers have been sales people in a variety of sales environments and truly understand the challenges that a typical sales forces experience. The economic downturn and low sales figures can de-motivate any sales team. Request guest speakers to upcoming team buildings or sales conferences, to motivate, train and educate. A positive sales team is confident which means that half of the battle is already won. Negativity and lack of energy should be resisted at all cost. All sales people (even experienced ones) occasionally need a tap on the back and a word of encouragement. One of the experienced guest speakers in South Africa who has done many years in the trenches as a sales manager is Estienne de Beer with his motivational talk "Meerkat Motivation" which parallels the life and productivity metrics of Meerkats with those of sales people.
