The end of month\/end of sales cycle target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While getting anchored to month-end goals helps some, it also backfires. Think of the Sales reps somewhere in the middle of the pack. Those who don\u2019t always hit their sales quotas? These reps typically get demotivated and stop chasing the target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is crucial to ensure that goal-setting is not seen as a one-size-fits-all approach but something that is realistic, achievable yet ambitious.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales leaders can use the Anchoring effect to help their team stay the course and produce more consistent results.

Sales leaders can set personalized targets based on the journey towards 100%. Approach for target setting also considers where the individual rep stands so that goals set are not too far away. This makes the target more accessible and therefore motivates sales reps to try just a little harder. Setting incremental targets is key to improving performance especially when it comes to slower performers.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incrementally increase targets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Once a small target is reached, a new anchor should be introduced that is incremented by a small amount from the previous target. Success with the previous target will help reps confidently approach the higher target. This will ensure consistency and high productivity from the employees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Personalize targets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; When targets are set as per each sales reps ability and performance history, rather than for the entire team as a whole, it improves the chances of better performance. It also builds the confidence of reps to do better. The result is a calibrated (tweaked) anchoring that helps each sales rep in your team perform to the best of their ability and improve on their performance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worxogo\u2019s nudge coach uses calibrated anchoring to help slow performers improve their performance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worxogo.com\/early-start-behavior-sells-more\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> how this sales team used calibrated anchoring to improve their slow performers quota achievement by 11%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To know more about this or how Nudge Coach can help you, click on <strong>get a demo.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anchoring can play a powerful role in setting targets for sales teams.
