This Is the Secret of Sales

This Is the Secret of Sales

Imagine if there was a secret to successful selling.

Imagine if there was one concept, one rule you could learn and follow, and if you learned and applied this rule, then you would successfully be able to sell any product or service you chose to.

And not only would you be able to sell these products or services, but-if you learned and applied this secret-you would sell more than anyone in your company or in your industry.

In addition, you would also be able to sell more with less stress, less rejection, and sales would actually become, dare I say it?-easy.

As you know, selling and easy rather occur in the same sentence, but by learning and applying this secret, they will.

And here is the secret:

Sales is nothing more than a set of recurring selling situations that you encounter over and over again.

You get the same brush offs when prospecting, the same objections when closing, the same ghosting when following up.

Let me prove it to you: regardless of your product, service, or industry, do any of these selling situations sound familiar?

When prospecting, has a decision maker or influencer or office manager ever told you:

• “Just email me some information.”
• “We’re happy with who we’re using.”
• “We aren’t interested.”
• “I’ll have to check with my boss.”

And when closing a sale or presenting your product or service, how many times do you run into:

• “That’s a bit more than we want to spend.”
• “It’s just not the right time for us.”
• “Let me think about it and get back to you.”
• “I’m going to need to talk to the committee/boss/my partner, etc.”
• “Can you email me more information?”

Now, I’ve never met many of you reading this right now, and I don’t know what you’re selling, but I’ll bet these cover 80% of the objections you get, right?

And that’s because selling is a set of recurring situations that contain the same objections, stalls, and you get them over and over again.

And therein lies the secret to successful selling:

Learn exactly what to say-in advance-of getting these recurring objections.

Now this may sound like a “duh!” moment but let me share another secret with you: 90% of sales reps don’t do this. Instead, they ad-lib, make things up, and use poor responses over and over again.

Poor responses that don’t work!

The answer?

Script out-in advance-two or three “best practice” responses to the recurring selling situations you get into all the time.

Practice, drill, rehearse these responses until they become your automatic way of responding.

Doing this will change your sales results, your day-to-day experience in selling, and ultimately your career and your life.

Your choice really comes down to: Struggle and underperform, or sell easily, confidently, and make more money than 90% of your competition.

So start learning and practicing the secret to successful selling.

How To Find the Perfect Salesperson for Your Team?

How To Find the Perfect Salesperson for Your Team?

I often get asked these questions in my business strategy session: “How can I find a perfect salesperson to join my team?”

If you have this question, this article is for you. So, please enjoy.

At What Point In My Business Do I Have to Hire a Salesperson?

Recall when you first started your business, you take your product or service with a view to making it as perfect as possible by, for example, meeting your customers’ needs, making it easy to use, or delivering value to your customers).

At some point, you will end up with “SOMETHING” that would make your competitors green with envy.

And more and more customers have come to take your solution so that they can get the results you promise to deliver and they don’t need to spend time and effort to build their own solutions. They would likely stick to you for the longer term and ask you “what’s next?”

Now, your business is growing.

You begin to have a taste of “success”.

And this would likely be the time when you start asking the question “How can I reach out to more potential customers?”

The solution is “I have to increase my workforce.”

Your Venture to Hire Your First Salesperson

In any case, no matter whether you are hiring your first salesperson, or just adding a new salesperson to your existing sales team, it’s important to know how to spot a successful salesperson.

You need to understand what makes a good salesperson and attract the right talent to join your team and scale success.

If you can resonate with what I said above, please carry on reading.

I know it can be difficult to see through charisma and well-rehearsed interview tactics. What I do know is that the best salespeople have certain traits that can’t be missed.

To help you improve your success rate in hiring the perfect salesperson, I have identified the following steps to equip you with the right tools for your consideration.

And all good wishes when you make a decision to implement these steps…

Step 1 – Identify the specific needs for your new sales hire

Is that obvious?

My mentor, T Harv Eker, the author of the Secrets of Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth, said “The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want.”

In our context of hiring a salesperson, there is no difference from my experience.

Before you hire a new salesperson, you have to be clear about what your business requirements and needs are. If not, complete this step first.

Are you sure you really need to hire another salesperson?

Can you hire someone who can work within your current system in your business? [Note: I don’t believe any candidate is a good fit unless he is able to do so.]

What qualities do I look for when hiring another salesperson?

What are my retention strategies so that I can make this salesperson stay committed to producing a win-win-win for my business?

Step 2 – Write the Salesperson’s Job Description

The second step is to advertise.

But… when you want specific candidates, you have to specify what skills the candidates must have so that they can fulfill their roles as effectively as possible. As a bonus tip, list your company’s name and contact information to allow candidates to do research on your company before they apply for the role.

Which skills do you think a perfect salesperson should have?

Interestingly, HubSpot recommends the following key qualities that make a great salesman in order to get off on the right foot:

  • Ability to multi-task simultaneously
  • Persistence & patience
  • Honesty & integrity
  • Creativity or Resourcefulness
  • Ability to learn & grow through experience
  • Solid work ethic & motivation
  • Strong communication skills — verbal and written; good communicator (both internal and external)
  • Good judgment; ability to make good decisions quickly in a fast-moving, ever-changing environment
  • Ability to follow rules/policies and procedures. Conscientious about details.
  • Willingness to sacrifice personal time for business needs
  • Self-motivated; takes initiative and keeps busy without management intervention

Of course, I am not asking you to look for a salesperson with all of the above skills. Go back to my first question about figuring out what you want.

Identify 3 specific skills listed above you are looking for in an ideal candidate. Ensure these skills are mentioned in the job description.

Step 3 – Reach out to the right candidates

In your course of searching for the right candidates, you are not looking for anyone and everyone obviously.

It is important that you find the candidates who share your core values and have what it takes to be great salespersons. After all, you don’t want to spend time developing someone who isn’t going to get the job done.

Here is an important tip – expect that finding the right candidates is going to be difficult enough without starting off with the wrong people.

Some people are perfect for the job, but just don’t know that they’re perfect.

Talk to them about what their strengths and weaknesses are, and make sure they know you need a certain type of person who will be able to handle your current system/processes. They may seem like an excellent candidate if you can tweak some of their abilities!

On the other hand, if it is apparent that someone is not fit for this role, ask yourself whether you can offer them other positions within your business or recommend another position they might take – even if it’s outside of sales.

Once again, depending on their personality, skillset, and experience. It’s better to give someone a chance rather than letting him/her go in a negative manner.

Bonus Step – Develop a clear interview process

We got this question in Clubhouse often – you need to develop a clear interview process.

You will look through a bunch of resumes and select a handful that represents the most qualified applicants who would go through your interview process.

A clear interview process should include clearly designed interview questions about

personal background or professional history, interests, goals

years of experience in sales

Greatest weakness when it comes to selling?

Tell me about some difficult situations you’ve experienced in selling. How did you handle them?

Give them a sales assignment and find out how they would complete it.

Discuss their goals and how you can help them achieve those goals.

Summarize all information after this process and compare your notes to make sure that they are ideal for the job.

The result should be an offer letter, but before you send it out, ask yourself what you expect from your new salesperson.

Do you expect a high level of commitment to your company or do they have room for their own ideas in the business?

What is your approach with regard to culture and expectations?

The Outcome of Having a Clear Interview Process

Finally, after you have selected the candidates to hire, you have to think about how to offer a competitive salary and regular bonuses for achieving personal goals along with other intangibles like training programs and networking opportunities.

Offer an enticing package of these extras when you make the final decision so that candidates will be happy to work for your team.

Sometimes, it’s not only about compensation but also creating an atmosphere where people feel appreciated and valued for their efforts.

Even if they don’t seem like the ideal candidate, make an effort to get in contact with them anyway; it might be worth their while and they could have some useful insight – but only if you give them that chance.

Do not discriminate against any candidates!

You may think one person is better than another because of their gender or age, but there’s no real evidence to back this up.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect salesperson for your team can be a daunting task.

I hope that the above steps will help you find the right person for your business and avoid wasting time on unqualified candidates. The 10 qualities of a good salesman that are outlined in this article will also come in handy when interviewing prospects so you know what to look out for before they even walk through the door.

If all else fails or if you need extra assistance finding someone who is qualified, let me know to see if I can help. Our team would love to work with you one-on-one!

Some salespeople are natural, and some require training.

Either way, we’re here to help you get the best salesperson for your business.

All good wishes.

How To Compete In Sales

How To Compete In Sales

The idea of competition

When I think about the idea of “competing”… I imagine two people trying to beat each other and it makes me smile a bit…

As far as I’m concerned, I’d rather dominate and win than just competing with others,

For me “competing” means starting at the same or at a similar level and I don’t just want t “try” to beat my competitors, I want to dominate in my field, I want to make sure that I find myself at a level that is so superior to the other competitor’s that he doesn’t even bother trying to overtake me.

Compete with yourself

“Those who seek a better life must first become a better person.” Jim Rohn

The first adversary to your improvement, whether you believe it or not it is you.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re already at the top of your game, your primary goal should be to improve yourself, to become a better person.

The beauty of our profession is that as we improve, our earnings automatically increase and as our earnings increase, our whole existence improves.

The “Kaizen” Philosophy

Having practiced Karate for years, I’m not new to the idea of “Kaizen”.

The Japanese word “kaizen” means “change for better”, in the same sense as the English word “improvement”. ( Source )

This Japanese philosophy has been adopted successfully by companies like Toyota to improve their production processes and is based on the idea of a gradual improvement: In fact, if I try to improve 1% in my sales activities every single day, an improvement that may initially seem almost invisible, in just 3 to 6 months of doing it, I will create massive changes in my profession.

Model the excellence

The main mistake of many salespeople is to try to achieve unattainable goals, in the shortest possible time, ending up disappointed.

Remember: There are no limits to what you can achieve but to obtain incredible levels of success, especially when starting from scratch, may take months or years of practice, but there are some good shortcuts…

To date, the best existing strategy to achieve success in every area of life is to find models of excellence, people with years of experience in your field that can literally save you years of errors…

It is extremely easy to find models of excellence nowadays:

Just follow Blogs, read books, watch videos on YouTube or find friends in your field that are willing to help you.

Be practical

It is essential to have a clear goal of where you want to be and what you want to achieve.

Do you want to become the # 1 salesperson in your company or the CEO of the entire corporation?

Begin to outline your goals and divide them into small “chunks”, ie: Create monthly and daily goals so you can monitor your growth gradually.

Also, make sure you schedule your daily and monthly goals in your calendar so that you can keep track of them.

Here is a list of useful questions to start your journey:

Who am I competing against?
What can I do to beat my competitor?
What are his / her weaknesses?
What are my strengths?
What are my weaknesses?
Where do I need to improve?
What kind of resources do I need to possess to achieve my goal?

Make sure to find at least 5-10 answers to each question, this will give you a precise idea of where you are in the process and where you need to be to achieve your goals.

I hope this article will motivate you to achieve excellence in your field and to become the best you can possibly be.

Share this article now with your friends and always remember: Sharing is caring!

Real Estate Indian

Real Estate Indian

Real estate Indian: an overview

This sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. In India, real estate is the second largest employer after agribusiness and is intended to grow at 30 per cent over the next decennary. This sector constitutes four sub sectors – housing, retail, cordial reception, and commercial.

The demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations. The construction industry ranks third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect. Brought on effects in all sectors of the economy.

Market Size

The market is expected to touch US$ 180 billion by 2020. Housing sector is expected to contribute around 11 per cent to India’s GDP by 2020. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing importantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India’s growing needs.

New housing launches across top seven cities in India increased 27 per cent year-on-year in January-March 2018.

Sectors such as IT and ITES, retail, consulting and e-commerce have registered high demand for office space in recent times. Office space demand in the country increased 23 per cent year-on-year in January-March 2018 with office space absorption at 11.4 million square feet during the quarter. Private equity inflows in office and IT/ITES real estate have grown 150 per cent between 2014 and 2017 backed by a strong attraction towards office sector

There were significant price increases, providing the illusion of handsome returns for investors and buyers alike. Combine that with the propensity to build ever-larger units at a higher price point, and most real estate is unaffordable for the average buyer.

About Market

After all, how many people can afford to buy apartments worth Rs5-10 crore in a country where the average household income is Rs40,000?

With sales velocity going down and prices flat to declining, cash flows have declined and construction has slowed down dramatically. The slowdown in construction activity further sends the wrong signal, scaring the next round of buyers.

And I’m talking about the capital. Most of that invested capital has earned returns in single digits or in a majority of cases, been negative. And therein lies the problem.

The global investment herd is a backward looking pack. They primarily look at historical returns to decide whether to allocate more money to a specific market. In this sense, our record is abysmal. Couple that with the fact that we are nothing more than a rounding error in a global investment portfolio, and the probability of a large pool of equity capital allocation for India is low.

This is a huge investment opportunity, but you need to cherry pick your cities,” I recommends focusing on cities like Noida in greater noida and agra and investing in projects like ats happy trails, Ats Allure,Ats Dolce phase-2,Ats pristine Golf Villa, and Ats Rhapsody in affordable housing, as of now these project is going on this is very golden opportunity to invest in these project

What Might Be Next In The Economy?

Since, we don’t have a crystal ball, it is impossible to predict, accurately, the future! This is especially true, when, it comes to economic issues, including investment, real estate, interest rates, inflationary pressures, government actions, international factors, etc. What are the ramifications of inflation, recession, interest rates, Federal Reserve Bank decisions, etc.? How can one, hedge – his – bet, in order to minimize unnecessary risks, while receiving a quality return, also? There is no simple answer, because so many factors, have significant influences. With, that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly, consider, examine and review potential factors, in order to help readers, have a more – complete understanding of the possibilities.

1) Interest rates:

We have experienced a prolonged period of historically – low – interest rates. This has created easy money, because the cost of borrowing is so low. Both individuals and corporations have benefited, at least, in the immediate- term, permitting home buyers to purchase more house, because their monthly charges, are low, due to low mortgage rates. Corporate and government bonds, and banks, have paid low returns. It has stemmed, inflation, and created a rise in home prices, we haven’t witnessed, in recent memory. The Federal Reserve Bank has signaled they will be ending this propping – up, and will also raise rates, probably three times, in 2022. What do you think that will cause.

2) Auto loans, consumer loans, borrowing:

The auto industry has been, significantly, impacted by supply chain challenges. When rates rise, auto loans and leases, will be more costly.

3) This pattern began after the Tax Reform legislation:

Passed at the end of 2017, which created the initial, new, trillion dollars deficits

4) Government spending:

Caused by the financial suffering and challenges, because of shut downs, etc, because of the pandemic, created trillions more in debt. Unfortunately, debt must be eventually addressed.

5) Perception and attitude:

The past couple of years,apparently, created a public perception, plus many fears, with a crippling economic impact.

Either, we begin to plan, effectively, and with common sense and an open – mind, many will be at – risk. Wake up, America, and demand better leadership, service and representation.

The Easiest and Hardest Part of Phone Sales

The Ask. Yes… both the easiest and hardest part of the phone sale. Quite an interesting enigma, right? Yes again, but let’s unpack this further. Phone selling is both an art and science and it follows a logical path (maybe a little nonlinear at times, but nonetheless there’s an end goal). Depending on the solution you’re offering to the prospect, there’s usually a lead up to the Ask.

Present the Purpose of the Call Clearly and Directly

For starters, remember to accomplish (when and if possible) the goal of making the call. This can be to set up an appointment, to introduce yourself, your business, and product and / or service, or to speak with the Decision Maker. By stating the purpose of the call (and thus moving toward the goal of the call), you minimize wasting time with uninterested and unqualified prospects and you maximize your ability to make more calls, reach more people, and close more sales. Here’s some great advice: it often helps (actually, the value of having this is more than I can put into words) to have a script available during the call just in case you get off track. Scripts aid you in staying focused and moving the call forward.

Listen Prior to Making the Ask

Unless you’re a telemarketer and are intent on blasting your prospects with a “canned” message regardless of their responses, then by all means, spray on. OK, kidding aside, prior to making the Ask, listen… listen… listen. Here’s the key in listening when conducting a sales call: don’t, I repeat, don’t answer the prospect in your head while they are talking. Don’t do it. Here’s why: you’ll learn that by keeping your mind still and clear without interrupting the prospect in your head or verbally, you’ll have given the prospect something that will often be reciprocated to you in full measure: “uninterrupted time for response”. Sounds weird… yes, but does it work? oh yes. I learned this technique from Stephen Schiffmann and it really works.

Remember, plan the call (set a goal and use a script), initiate contact, state the purpose of your call directly and clearly, and listen. After listening both consciously and subconsciously, if and when appropriate, make the Ask.

Since around 2015, the benefits of indirect income  have become increasingly important and motivating. Another motivation is time to market. To make this work, a modern  process emerges as developed: “outsourcing the outsourcing process”.

Kodak outsourcing of most of its computer technology systems “in 1989 was followed by others in the 90s.The increasing offshoring of IT-enabled services, although not widely accepted, for both  subsidiaries and  outside companies, is associated with the availability of large amounts of reliable and affordable communications infrastructure following the  expansion of telecommunications and internet services in the late 1990s , which use low-cost countries, including administrative and back-office functions such as finance and accounting, human resources and legal, call centers and other customer-facing departments such as marketing and sales services, IT infrastructure and application developmentKnowledge services, including technical support, product design, research and development, and analysis.  Early 21st Century In the early 21st century, companies were increasingly outsourcing to suppliers outside their own country, sometimes referred to as offshoring or offshore outsourcing.Other options were subsequently added: nearshoring, crowdsourcing, multisourcing, strategic alliances/strategic partnerships, strategic outsourcing. In Drucker’s view, a company should only outsource in  areas where it hasn’t proven any special skills. The business strategy outlined in the slogan recommended  companies to use the knowledge and economies of scale of a specialized provider to improve performance and achieve the required service.  In recognition, Peter Drucker  received a significant posthumous honor in 2009 when he was inducted into the Outsourcing Hall of Fame for his outstanding work in the field. the main choice of moving destination.Coastal location, common time zone and sufficient IT manpower are the reasons for outsourcing IT services to Indonesia.Growth of white collar outsourcing

Unlike outsourced manufacturing, outsourced workers have flexible work hours and can choose their own hours and the companies they work for.Clients benefit from remote work, reduced office space, salary and benefits because these people are independent contractors.However, terminating an outsourcing contract with the government also has its difficulties. Reasons for Outsourcing While US companies do not outsource to reduce the cost of executive o high-level management, they mainly outsource to reduce the costs of peripheral and “non-core” activities. Other reasons are higher taxes, high energy costs, and excessive government regulations or requirements.Mandatory benefits like Social Security, Medicare, and security coverage are also motivators.

Outsourcing Models There are many outsourcing models that vary by country, year and industry. .Another approach is to differentiate between tactical and strategic outsourcing models.Tactical models include: Staffing by project To acquire skills not available internally.Strategic consulting includes business process improvement.Innovation in Outsourcing When offshore knowledge outsourcing works, companies are highly dependent on the availability of technical personnel overseas.One of the challenges of outsourcing technical innovation is the reduction in quality. Co-contracting Co-contracting is the pooling of internal staff supplemented by an external service provider.Outsourcing can minimize contractual risks, increase transparency and clarity, and contribute to better control than outsourcing. Outsourcing services may augment internal audit staff with specialty skills, such as information risk management or integrity services, or provide peak hours or similar support to other areas such as software development or resources. Identity Management Cosourcing Identity Management Cosourcing is the interface between on-premises hardware and external identity services.

How to Use Inbound Vs Outbound Marketing [Complete Guide]

Should I use inbound or outbound marketing? Where do you find that balance between outbound and inbound marketing to maximize and grow the flow of leads? What should you consider when concocting a synergic marketing mix to include both? To answer all these questions, let’s start by understanding each of the marketing techniques, its strengths and weaknesses.

What is Outbound Marketing?
Outbound marketing can be simply described as a straightforward business exchange proposition. “Hey there, want to buy my thing?” is your basic message and approach of outbound marketing. It’s the oldest and most fundamental part of any marketing strategy, and is also what non-marketers assume marketing is all about.

Examples of outbound marketing include telemarketing (“cold calls”), paid mailings (both electronic and “snail mail”), advertising (banner ads, radio ads, billboards, etc.) and even door-to-door sales. It’s all about reaching out and pulling the prospect in.

Strengths of Outbound Marketing
Not only is it the older and better polished set of techniques, outbound marketing generates sales leads almost immediately. It goes beyond saying that it’s no magic wand, but when it comes to “sealing the deal”, your go-to tools are those in your outbound toolbelt.

1. Easier to measure ROI

2. Quicker to show impact

3. Potentially Personalized

Weaknesses of Outbound Marketing
Many businesses and brands love outbound marketing for its quick and easily measured results. However, they equally hate the cost and too often the reaction of the target audience, which can easily manufacture a negative sentiment toward the brand.

1. Intrusive

2. Expensive

3. Ineffective on its own

What is Inbound Marketing?
In short, the idea of inbound marketing is to create a pull effect to bring in pre-qualified leads instead of pushing intrusive messages.

Inbound marketing activities include opt-in email marketing, content production and promotion, social media, and search engine optimization efforts (SEO), among other things.

Using this method, a type of funnel is created with leads coming in at the top of the funnel (TOFU) and being “nurtured” down the funnel with marketing messages tailored to the stage that the lead is in until they are “ready” to be approached with a message directed to start the purchasing process.

Strengths of Inbound Marketing
Though it existed long before social media and even online sales, the inbound methodology has taken over digital advertising by storm in the past decade. With growing banner blindness, do-not-call lists and the rising cost of users’ attention, it’s no wonder so many brands and businesses include inbound marketing in their strategies.

1. Cost-effective

2. Unintrusive

3. Broad

Weaknesses of Inbound Marketing
For B2B marketers, it’s often hard to explain the value of inbound marketing to executives who just want to see those leads flowing in and converting. It’s no longer a new approach and methodology, and yet there are reasons brands sometimes hesitate to prioritize inbound marketing activities.

1. Slow to show results

2. Harder to measure

3. Impersonal

Brewing Your Marketing Mix
Let’s go back to the question we started with: which should you be using – inbound or outbound? Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each, you can see why both are necessary ingredients in your marketing mix. But how much of each, and when?

A number of variables affect the inbound to outbound ratio of every brand, product, campaign, and even specific transaction. The impact of some might be less than of others, depending on your unique business and product.

Deal Size

Product Type

Funnel Stages

The Marketing Mix and Match
Combining inbound methodologies and outbound marketing techniques in your marketing mix is not always easy, but is usually worth it. By defining the correct balance between the pull techniques of inbound and the push techniques of outbound, you can combine both to create an optimized lead nurturing and conversion process. It all depends on how well you know your target audience, and how willing you are to make the effort to cater to their needs along the journey down the funnel.

Content Marketing: What strategies to follow for lead generation?

Follow these 5 proven strategies for a highly effective lead generation exercise:

1. Build social reputation: Publish long and well researched content to emerge as an industry leader, and enjoy a good reputation in your niche. Posting and sharing bigger, braver and bolder content will help you win trust and draw potential customers and niche audiences towards your brand. To build and grow your social reputation, take the help of the different popular social media platforms, including LinkedIn and Facebook. Social media will help you locate your community, promote better relationships, and build a society you may trust. Going social will also make your brand become more personal and powerful.
2. Publish appropriate and right content: With right pages, carrying relevant right content, you can target the right audiences and prospects, and motivate them to share their personal details, including e-mail and phone numbers.
3. Provide useful content in exchange for vital statistics: Carry in-depth and appropriate content but don’t reveal complete content, if your readers are unwilling to provide their e-mail ids or phone numbers. For this, though, you will have to publish highly engaging and effective content. If your content isn’t interesting or useful enough, your readers won’t read it further, and not share the data either which you could be seeking for lead generation.
4. Connect with your readers on an emotional level: Trigger your readers’ and prospects’ emotions, through engaging content, and the right timing. If you manage to do so, they will do what you may want them to do, and respond to your Call to Action (CTA).
5. Get them to speak: Inspire your readers and prospects to like and share your pages, and post comments on them as well. When your targeted groups get involved–through shares, likes and comments–your posts will not only become viral, you will also get useful data. You will learn about their age brackets, social & economic backgrounds, expenditure, etc.

How to Improve Communication With Your Offshore Development Team

Communication with an off shore team is not an easy job. Let’s discuss how you can do it more effeciently.

You may have heard of project management, but did you know you can communicate with an offshore development team? Here are some tips and tricks to improve your communication with an offshore team. The first step to successful offshore collaboration is to align your team. Once you’ve outlined the end result, define the team members’ responsibilities and assign tasks ahead of time. This will facilitate communication and ensure that both teams are working toward the same goal.Working with an offshore development team

One of the advantages of outsourcing your development tasks is that the offshore development team can have all the specialists required for the full development cycle. This means you won’t have to hire specialists for each stage of the product lifecycle. Offshore development teams also have management teams that can handle organizational issues, planning, control, and management. This allows you to focus on scaling your business while letting the offshore development team do the hard work. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when outsourcing your development needs to an offshore team.

Before hiring an offshore development team, you must understand their culture. Make sure that you understand their working culture and how they manage projects. Understanding their culture will help you collaborate more effectively and reduce the likelihood of business mishaps or conflict. Lastly, ensure that you communicate well with the offshore development team. Make sure that your communication style is clear and that your team members understand your culture. Make sure to communicate clearly your expectations throughout the process and communicate your vision with them.Tools

Collaboration tools can make your offshore development team more efficient, but too many can be just as harmful. It’s important to make an inventory of your communication requirements and set some ground rules for the organization of documents and important calendar events. You may also wish to use a screencasting tool, such as Screencast-O-Matic, for sharing media and ideas with your offshore development team. Using Screencast-O-Matic allows you to create an online video with annotations that team members can then view.

While it may seem easy to use multiple communication channels, it can easily become overwhelming and distracting. To keep things simple, assign specific tasks to different communication tools. You can use Slack to share project updates, emails to communicate with clients, and Skype for meetings. This way, you’ll avoid unnecessary distractions and ensure that everyone is on the same page. You’ll find it much easier to follow up with your offshore development team when you use these tools to make the process simpler and more efficient.Techniques

Successful offshore software development collaboration starts with effective communication. Offshore software development teams can be very difficult to work with as they are not on site with the client. Here are some techniques to improve communication with your offshore development team. If you don’t have a local office that you can visit to meet your team, you may want to try video communication. Video chat is the best communication method when working with a remote team.

Keep communication open and direct. Ask questions and offer feedback. Communicate regularly and clearly. It should become second nature. Whether your customers are happy or dissatisfied, be sure to provide them feedback. A positive comment will encourage positive interaction and boost your offshore team’s productivity. If you aren’t able to meet regularly, ask your offshore team to conduct virtual kick-off meetings on a regular basis.Building a relationship

When you hire an offshore development team, one of the first things you should do is build a relationship with the team members. While office workers may be able to bond over coffee and small talk, doing the same with remote team members can be difficult. It takes initiative to initiate conversations, so be sure to ask questions and take the time to get to know your offshore team members. You’ll find that it goes a long way in strengthening the relationship and enhancing productivity.

Communicate in the same language as your offshore development team. The language they speak is likely to differ from yours, so you may have to translate some of your communication. Avoid cultural references and state the obvious, and limit your vocabulary to the most basic terms. If possible, use emojis to convey your intended tone. Be sure to make the video call as professional as possible. Your offshore development team will appreciate the personal touch and the effort you put into communicating with them.
