They are very best delivered whenever a sales rep works the steps of an initial assignment or sales call not exactly right, however close to being right - that's when the best sales manager presents the "Masterful Praising" right on the spot!

Say there is a new accounts on their business strategy plan which plays a large part in the salesperson accomplishing their quota or target for that quarter. You realize that getting an appointment at this difficult-to-access company is very hard.

You know the sales rep went on numerous calls to secure the appointment, but with no success. You have been checking the progress of this process while having your weekly calls. You demand them to press on despite the roadblocks, since you know it'll be worth it. In your talks with them you "motivate them by the comp plan" to inform them if they landed this account it would be worth X dollars for them, and also make them hit and probably even blow out their own masterful goal.

Eventually, after 2 months of trying, the salesperson makes the right connection, creates partnership with all the right people and secures the appointment.

Now's your time to swoop in!
