A) DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, AND TEAM-BUILDING SKILLS

A1.
As the team leader the steps that I’ll be taking to address the situation with Sarah my group member are:
• First, make her feel comfortable by expressing its ok to not understand and that she will get through eventually with patience, communication and effort.
• Arrange a meeting to find out what she understands and don’t understand.
• I will discuss the assignment and simplify what she’s required to do and have regular follow-ups to explain where she went wrong.
• Go back through the steps and assist her in understanding and completing the task.

A2.
I choose these set of actions because I think it is only fair to understand that every individual has their different ways of understanding, also if I was in her position I would appreciate the same steps.

A3.
The expected result is, she should be able to understand the task and be able to analyse other task given.


B) RESEARCHING, READING AND INTERPRETING ASSIGNMENTS.

B1.
The task requires you to examine the key standards of sales management relating to the significance of sales planning, strategies for selling and sale reporting. For example, you’re to focus first on the key standard of sales management, do back ground research about sales management and ensure it links to the importance of sale planning and the strategies used for selling and sale reporting. Basically, do a background research on what they are, the strategies they use and how they all link with sales management.


B2.
You will:
• Define what is sales management
• Review the key standard of sales management
• State the importance of sales planning, selling and sales reporting to sales management and explain how they correspond
• Explain strategies used for selling, sale planning and sales reporting
• Then conclude what you understand from your explanation.

B3.
Basically, for Sally to fulfill the task requirements she must have a focus research question one that I will give her is, “what some of the strategies are used for selling, sale planning and sales reporting relating to sales management?"

A1. Being that Sally is a new student, basically a novice to the subject I would start off by hosting a one on one meeting with Sally to just explain what the assignment expects her to do, explain the key terms so that she understands well and let her explain where she falls short/ lack understanding.

A2. I chose these set of actions because communication and comprehension is key in gaining an understanding of new things, also I would’ve made it simpler to understand and simply because this is how I’d want something to be explained to me.

A3. After I’ve acted the expected results should be that Sally understands the subject at hand clearly, she should be able to explain the key principles of sales management to her peers with ease, and there should be better progress with completing her tasks and also show the same level of participation along with her peers.

A) As a leader of the group, I would make Sally feel more welcome and acquainted as a new student to the group. I would ask Sally what’s the issue she’s having with the assignment question, what she understands and doesn’t understand. She would also get an equal share of tasks to be covered so she can have a sense of understanding to the whole context of the question and also the important role she plays in the team.

B) These actions were taken because Sally will now feel a sense of welcome belonging in the group and how important teamwork is. With that action, I can also find out where is her weakest link.

C) The end result will be great because now Sally would now have a responsibility as a part of the team. She would now feel welcomed and understands how teams work.

A) DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, AND TEAM-BUILDING SKILLS

1) You are the team leader. What are the steps that you'll be taking to address the situation

As the team leader I would schedule a meeting to discuss and get more insight on what everyone knows. I would let Sally go into detail explaining what she doesn't understand or isn't grasping properly. I would then break down P1 into sections and explain it in detail. Ask her if I've given her more clarity and even ask the group members to help. I would then check in on her to see her progress and if she needs any more help.

2) I think these actions will help because maybe P1 overwhelmed her so just dividing it into sections and explaining each is easier to understand and relate. Also getting the group members to explain helps her to be more comfortable and she will go to any member of the group without fear and seek help when she needs it.

3) I expect Sally to have a better understanding and be able to explain the key principles of sales management on her own and being able to seek more help from us if she needs it

B) RESEARCHING, READING AND INTERPRETING ASSIGNMENTS

1) P1 is just asking to look at how the key principles sales management relates to the importance of sales planning, methods of selling and sales reporting. You are going to try to understand the key principles of sales management then further view how the importance of sales planning, methods of selling and sales reporting come into play with the key principles.

Developing communication, leadership and team building skills

As a team leader, I would address sally’s problems by holding a personal meeting to find out:

1. What hindered her from participating in the group activities but participate in class discussion.
2. Read the question to her and ask her to interpret the question in her own words to find out what she understood.
3. Let her know what is expected of us from the group and broke down the question in parts based on her understanding.
4. Guide her and follow up throughout the entire research process.

2. I choose these actions to sally’s situation because I realized she only had surface knowledge of sales management, she understands the basic content such as what the term sales management meant but she was unable to transfer any knowledge to the task as she did not fully grasp the concept.

3. my expectation for her is that she will use the little information she has along with the information she will gather from the broken down questions understand the content of the research and being able to apply her knowledge in playing her part in the group.

Research reading and interpret assignments

1. Task p is asking her to study closely the principles of sale management and the relevance of these principles in sales planning, sales selling, and reporting.

2. The assignment can be broken down into different pieces and is simply asking her to define what sales management, are the principles of sales management, the relevance of sales management using the sales funnel and hit rate metric, the importance of it to the planning selling and sales reporting and the pros and cons of sales management.


3. In carrying out the research I would guide Sarah on researching on what sales management and how it relates to sales is planning, selling, and sales reports.

Since Sally is the only team member who is unable to grasp entirety of what P1 is telling her to do. Firstly, I would meet with Sally privately, where I will then ask her to explain what she understands from P1, in order to figure out the part Sally has difficulty gasping.

A) DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, AND TEAM-BUILDING SKILLS

1. Being the team leader I will be taking different steps to resolve this situation by having a personal meeting with Sally to ask several different questions such as: if she feels comfortable with her classmates, do they show her any support seeing that she is a new student. Being a new student could be one of the main reasons for her reluctance in teamwork. Then, have a group meeting and ask Sally to explain what she understands from the assignment. Also let her peers explain the issue they are having, so I can proceed in having the issue rectified.

2. These actions were chosen so Sally can bond more with her peers, also offering a support system.
Once she feels comfortable in her environment, then she would participate more in her group.

3. From this, I am expecting that effective communication will be done. Sally will be more participative, helps her personal development, and most importantly the task will be completed correctly and on time.

B) RESEARCHING, READING AND INTERPRETING ASSIGNMENTS
1. Sally, I have realized that you do not have a clear understanding of the assignment criteria not to worry, I will explain. The assignment is asking for you to look into the different principles of sales management. Find out what is the essence of these principles. Why is it important to have these different principles in sales management.

2. Firstly you can find out the definition of sales management and the different principles listed below. Once you have, you will research why it is important to do sales planning, sales reporting, and look on the different ways of selling, then gather your information. Ensure that you use more than one sources so you can grasp the information correctly.
