Ask Pulse: Help! I’m a manager and my team members suck at their job

This week on Ask Pulse, we have a team leader wondering what exactly he can do to motivate his team to perform better.

I have asked a few of them to sit close to the best salesperson so they can learn the ropes properly, but there isn’t much improvement. It just feels like you can’t teach a person sales, you can only give them ideas, which I have tried several times too. I sometimes make sales myself and give to the least performers to motivate them, which I’m not supposed to do, but still no improvement.
