At this time of year, many businesses have added staff in anticipation of increased sales. Of course, it is impossible to take a new person and have them become as good as seasoned staff in such a short time.

This month's Small Business Advisory shares ideas of how your sales staff can partner to make a sale; make additional sales; and provide some teaching to your new or seasonal help.

Sharing this article with businesses in your community or organization can help them to have an awesome 2017 Christmas selling season.

The Small Business Advisories (SBA) are monthly articles we create for you to share with your members or accounts through the publications, print or online, that your organization or company has.
