Sales Skill and Knowledge
Chapter One introduced the Sales role of the Professional Teller, now we will further
explore specific Sales skills. Recall that selling a product or service should not take the
approach of “pushing” them on customers. This is
especially true when the Teller is lacking
knowledge of customer’s needs.
Selling is all about Relationship Building, being
perceptive to the customer’s needs during
conversations and meeting those needs. Needs are
best served by helping the customer match a Bank
product or service that is a “best fit” given the need.
Today, our discussion will center around a few core
areas:
1. When do people want to become our
customer?
2. What are the BASICS of selling?
3. What are customer cues?
4. How are customer cues identified?
5. How can I build and improve my Sales ability?
When do people want to become our customer?
Make people feel important! When When we actively demonstrate a

Improving Sales Performance
To make gains toward Sales related goals, we can use the SMART Goals Model that we
studied from Chapter One. Let’s apply a real world example to the SMART Goals Model.
SMART Goals
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
Got Goals? T = Timely Get SMART!
Real World Scenario: Sales Area of Weakness
Tina Teller is very good at greeting customers and shows sincerity; however, she is
uncomfortable with acting on customer cues by asking financial or banking questions
that would help her sales performance. How can Tina Teller use the SMART Goals
Model to help?
Tina Teller’s Goals
I want to become more confident in asking customers questions about their
S financial and banking needs to help improve my sales performance.
For one week, each day, I will practice and role-play 3 customer interactions
M that involve asking financial and banking questions.
A Attainable given the daily practice goal for reaching one goal
R Practical and realistic given the one week time frame to achieve one goal
In one week, my confidence will strengthen and I will be able to ask customers
T questions to improve sales performance.
In addition to SMART Goals, Tellers will participate in many forms of coaching and
learning activities designed to help each team member achieve goals and improve
performance.

Coaching and Learning Activities
The term “Coaching” describes a positive educational process that provides constructive
feedback to improve performance. Managers and supervisors should provide coaching
feedback that contains positive information about performance as well as possible areas
of weakness that may need improvement.
Tellers should view coaching as a practical learning tool to grow with the bank and
reinforce various skill sets. Overtime, the benefits of coaching open a path to success.
