If we work as HRD, which requires to deal with the crowds, then the consequences could be we should set the younger people, same age or even older than us. There are times when HRD also have to deal with troubled employees. During the troubled workers younger may be easier to confront. But what if it turns out trouble maker is someone older? HRD could then become reluctant to confront or act not want to know. HRD Attitudes like this really was not good; HRD must be able to deal with it without causing conflict.
In general there are two approaches that can be done by the HRD, approach to the task (task behavior) and the approach to the person (relationship behavior).
In the task behavior, HRD is trying to control through the task in the job. HRD makes sure every task given to the person who is expected to be completed accordance to his superiors, or any task that should always be delayed or not done in accordance with the target. If it happens then it is concerned may be given a warning because his duties are not done as expected.
The second approach, namely the relationship of behavior or relationships. If HRD was good friends with the employees concerned, it can be a personal approach. Because the relevant older, then the HR department using the polite approach and does not impress patronizing but still provide a positive input.
The approach chosen depends also on the issues being experienced by these employees. If the problem associated with the job, then that is a task appropriate behavior. For example, the employee failed to complete some work on target. However, this behavior is usually the approach is more suitable tasks performed by supervisors in advance, because most employers understand the work of subordinates. Only then, if still problematic, HRD is time to intervene, because if the problem continues to affect employee performance appraisal.
However, if the problem employee is more to the attitude or his attitude in the workplace, then a more appropriate approach is the relationship behavior. For example, employees could not get along with other employees, so it is often in conflict. If the problem is not directly related to the job, certainly more appropriate behavior relationship approach. Talk to your good with employees, ask about problems they experienced, and how they view you have in relation to the problem. If the problem is also affecting the work, convey your concern about this and how important it is to quickly resolve the issue.
The second approach is highly influenced from the role and attention of HRD given to employees who are older, so it is expected that the maturity of HRD who’s been so polite and not arrogant impression arbitrarily. HRD must be very clever when reading situations needed to be friendlier and when it needs to be more assertive. Show sincere intention to help them and not to blame them.
Would not a nice thing when we had an enthusiastic speaker and full of positive energy? These attitudes need to be owned by each salesperson, so that others can also feel the enthusiasm and positive energy, and attract them.
Imagine if you are a consumer, who then approached by a salesperson. This salesperson is rarely smiles, stiff, and flat in explaining or giving offerings. Surely you will feel bored, right? Compare if you are approached by a smiling salesperson is friendly, and then enthusiastically explaining about the product, also provides an opportunity for you to give opinions or ask questions.
If given the choice, surely you would prefer the second salesperson, right? The enthusiasm is very important for a salesperson, because that’s what makes people interested in and feel at home with them.
The question is how a salesperson is in maintaining the enthusiasm? Though, not necessarily their mood up all the time, but sometimes there’s a sense of boredom that alighted.
To create a sense of enthusiasm, first of all, a salesperson must have strong beliefs about our products and services it sells, as well as confidence against himself in his ability to generate sales. The stronger his faith, then the confidence level is also higher.
A salesperson must have a primary purpose or ultimate goals in life. This is a major goal that can make it survive, motivated and striving all the time. This can be anything, ranging from money, family, dreams, and others. As long as he recalled the main purpose of this, of course, he will enthusiastically in his work as a salesperson.
Salesperson also must hold himself to always be motivated all the time. Only a dream without equip themselves not enough. Self-improvement should always be done, such as attending seminars, reading books motivation, successful discussions with colleagues, and others. Essentially, the salesperson can develop the skills to keep his motivation in pursuing the goal.
Finally, it is very important for salesperson to maintain optimistic attitudes. One thing for sure, a salesperson is certainly going to often experience any kind of rejection. Try not to be frustrated because it will make matter worst. Conversely, though disappointed a salesperson must remain tough and optimistic, to learn from mistakes and turned back to the future. Just believe that with a better experience, salesperson can generate more sales success.
The enthusiasm and positive energy on the salesperson is going to provide tremendous effect, not only to consumers but also to co-workers to the organization. Therefore, it is important for a salesperson to maintain her enthusiasm.
