IIn some cases, if the salesperson does not perform well is because they don't have potential or knowledge but majority of the cases if the sales team does not perform well is due to a "Lack of Motivation"
Human psychology is when someone appreciates them, respects their wins(small or big) and gives personal attention to their work - They feel happy and motivated.
Some of the readers can ask that they are not doing anything to appreciate.
Examples: I appreciate my team if they did a good job in collecting the payment, identifying potential projects, receiving the sample order, and finding a new process to simplify the work and I encourage them when they share new ideas.

Simple Tips to Appreciate your team:

Sales Managers think they are in a big position and they can't be going to their level and praised, their respect goes down but not when they praise, their respect goes up.
2. Genuine Appreciation👏👍

3. Find out a way to praise🌟🔥
Look for the opportunity to appreciate your team members. When they explain about their visits, when they present the reports, find out the point to appreciate them.
4. Encourage🕵️♂️👀
Involve the team in group discussions, and encourage them to give ideas and implement those ideas. Never discourage their ideas by saying it doesn't work, if their ideas fail, they learn but when you say NO, they are unmotivated to do the work

Be attentive when they talk to you, do the presentation, show your 100% presence in the meeting and pick the words to appreciate, they get motivated to show many achievements in the next presentation

Each has strengths in a particular area. A good leader should understand the strength of each member of the team which helps a leader to find a way to appreciate.

"Your mind expands when you appreciate
Your mind shrinks when you don't appreciate others"
Your Mind Expands
When you cultivate a habit of appreciating others, your mind expands. You become more open and receptive to the positive aspects of people and situations around you.
Your Mind Shrinks
Conversely, when you fail to appreciate others, your mindset becomes narrow and closed off. By appreciating others, you open yourself up to new perspectives and opportunities.
