Wells Fargo is one of the leading companies for sales. As an employee, I’m honored to be asked by the CEO, to recommend actions to promote sales involvement. In the outline, I list six critical topics on what I recommend how Wells Fargo should promote sales involvement. Following the outline, is an explanation of three of the most critical topics that are listed in the outline. Lastly, a propose of a potential course of implementation is stated.
At Wells Fargo, teamwork and sales are important skills needed in order to succeed as an employee. At Wells Fargo, I plan to incorporate a system where each employee gains the skills necessary so that each task runs efficiently. To begin, I will start observing each banker’s, and each teller’s normal routine. I will be listening carefully to the conversations the tellers, and bankers are having with customers. As an observer, I will be taking notes on what the employee’s strengths and weakness are when lobbying to a customer, and working with coworkers. I will continue this process for a week. Once the week is completed, I will have one on one meetings with each employee. After the employee’s one on one meeting is complete, a proposed course of implementation will be to having each employee sign my notes, and receiving a copy. Once signed, they will be aware of their strengths and weakness. It will be clear on what they must improve.
Another critical idea I would like to create is a system called Buddy Banker. The ideal is
The first three days a company begins their operation the bank will be contacting then so they can open an account. The bank also uses this policy and practice when it comes to managing and developing their employees. The Bank feels that training is extremely important. The bank feels that the training and developing will build up their employees so they are able to perform to their best ability. The bank feels that learning is a win-win situation. The employees succeed in life and also on the job (Shukla-Pandey, 2012).

1. Evaluate the way people interact in an organization and how it contributes to the success or failure of the organization. Employees at Wells Fargo Bank have multiple opportunities to interact on a daily basis. Most often, team members interact within their individual department however; they have multiple opportunities to interact over the phone through banker connection and other internal resources. Being able to communicate clearly and professionally is crucial to all team members’ success and being able to provide the best possible service to the customers.

Wells Fargo has a strong value-added electronic commerce strategy. They provide support to the retailers involved in their business-to-business partnerships. Through Wells Fargo extranet they allow retailers to order online and see the status of inventory and shipments. It supplements their EDI and partner-managed inventory efforts” (site). "The power of e-commerce comes from a buyer and seller being able to conduct the full range of a business relationship online. From creating the initial impression, allowing for competitive comparison, to negotiation, to closing the sale to delivery of the product, and finally to customer service."22 If this happens the powerful opportunity e-commerce brings will begin to happen.
Find innovative ways to ensure that employees are getting rewarded for their hard work, and how we can have an impact on their life outside of work. One thing I learned in this course is that an employee may not give it their all in their role if they have financial concerns that distract them from completing the task at hand. It doesn’t mean that I will advocate for everyone to get a raise (I am not in the position to do so, yet), but it will allow me to be a better resource whether it is suggesting different trainings such as “How to better budget your money”, or give employees the tools needed in their development to help them reach their next milestone.
When Wells Fargo’s community-banking unit, discovered that a local management team in Los Angeles was aggressively using questionable tactics to reach sales goals, 200 employees were fired. These firings shook the bank’s executives in other parts of the country. The possibility, that sales goals were too high or cross selling was the real issue, was briefly considered, before concluding that it was the fault of a few unethical employees and managers (Glazer).
It is further revealed that most individuals have a mixture of both customer and sales orientated behaviors (Hansen, 2016). The latter is one of the reasons it makes sense for retail banks to shift to call centers.
In October 1, 2013, BMO was recognized as the only Canadian Bank to receive the ASTD BEST Award (American Society for Training and Development’s) for demonstrating strong commitment to training and development programs. Incorporating programs that can help employees improve and work toward their personal career goals promote job satisfaction in the workplace. These programs, when proven to be effective can be useful in making employees perform more efficiently. It can also be helpful in enhancing their skills and in optimizing potential future growth and developmental opportunities. With this they can achieve high performance and personal satisfaction at every stage of their career. They can gain more knowledge and have more confidence in performing

In these trying times, Federal Bank immediately decided to conduct one on one career development meetings after carefully reviewing the performance results of those employees who were in dire need of long-term goals/motivation. Most employees experiencing these problems were asked to reexamine their present long-term goals, identify behaviors, activities, and experiences that will help them reach the goals, and do the same for short term goals in order to be able to combine each goal desires to put it into effect (Greenhaus & Callahan, 2010, Chapter 5, Kindle: 1759). Thankfully, Michele was one of the rare few that actually decided to reach out to Federal officers and her husband for further feedback. Nevertheless, this event was necessary for the development of the Human Resource Management and Career Development system today because it helped valued-driven managers keep on moving forward in the corporate ladder that once reaches a dull point in their careers. The HR management department truly savaged the operational errors with the employees so that it would not evolved into a greater ordeal. For that reason, lets not forget that for this financial institution and any other institution if the employees do not feel taken care of, goal-oriented, motivated, and happy it is quite impossible to provide a customer driven environment. Hence, the internal
Despite the economic downturn progressive sales organizations are continuing to invest 2-5% of their annual sales budgets in sales training and development. These organizations undoubtedly will outperform their competitors who don’t invest. Training and development is one of the key factors that lead to improved sales performance.
Effective employees and happy customers are the lifeblood of a successful business. This is why it is important to create a training plan that creates both effective employees and satisfied customers (Ganapathy, 2017). Currently, Motors and More has no formal training program and offers promotions based on seniority. Because Motor’s and More, Inc is a small privately owned organization, it is a good idea for us to take a decentralizing approach to assessing and training our employees. A decentralizing approach will allow individual trainers to take control of the training and the approaches they’d like to take (The Advantages, 2017). While this approach has both strengths and weaknesses it is the best way to allow managers to make the
What Sophisticated Sales Organizations Must Do to Train Great Sales Managers and Develop Future Sales Leaders
Sales are the lifeblood of a business, without sales there would be no business in the first place; therefore it is very important that if a business wants to succeed, it should have a sales promotion strategy in mind.
