Know Your Products
In the real world, most bus charter and rental businesses aren't interested in middle of the road products. Before they commit to a purchase, they want to know everything there is to know about your product.
In this industry, product details can be the deciding factor between a close and your prospect going with a competitor's product. It's critical for your sales team to be knowledgeable and informed. If you're selling a service to bus charter and rental businesses, your sales force should understand granular details of the service contract and be prepared to resolve customer concerns during the sales cycle.
Market Aggressively

A combination of tight competition, multichannel approaches and emerging marketing technologies mean that you'll need to be at the top of your game to capture the attention of decision makers.

Sales Management Tips
Sales managers can make a noticeable difference in both ROI and total sales revenue.
In this industry, sales reps tend to be highly motivated performers who are accustomed to working under tight deadlines. Even so, sales managers need to be careful to strike a balance between encouraging individual performance and maintaining a team atmosphere.
Don't neglect the fact that bus charter and rental business owners value teamwork and may not respond to sales reps who seem overly disconnected from their sales unit.
