FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

When you are trying to clone that first rep, make sure that you don’t confuse personality with skill set.

Your customers have the answers. Talk to your customers.

Do not do the things that you're horrible at. Hire for the things that are not your strengths.

Invest your time in enablement. You and your reps should track how you win each deal for ongoing development.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Do a bi-weekly "pipe squeeze" (pipeline review) with each rep share your screen and take notes as you go to save time & maintain control

Discounts drive velocity, when a deal has stalled or there is no next step, use a manager email to see if a pricing incentive will move the close date

Ask the same 5 questions in deal review - Deal size, deal close date, buyer buy in, next step, and any incentives on the deal. Send the update to your leader for upward transparency

Only have reps forecast deals in pipeline for the month then run the historical math to see what may change both positive or negative

219 (Sell) Skyrocketing Close Rates with Onsites (Michelle Cecil, Procore)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t let the fear of breaking rapport prevent you from asking for the next step.

Answer the yes-or-no questions and SHUT UP!

Figure out their vision through discovery, then tell the story of their business in terms of how other world class teams use you to achieve it.

Turn the CEO's team into your champions to get the inside scoop on everything about them beforehand.

How To Move Indecisive Customers With The JOLT Effect

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Shadowing to remind yourself and your reps of the basics to spot opportunity areas

Setting a goal without a "how" is not a real goal, you have to understand how a rep is going to reach the goal while setting them

Always level with reps before you shadow a call to clarify the role they want you to play on the call & tell them what you hope

Use "Mr.Potato Head" personalization to ramp reps from generic persona based personalizaiton, to trigger based personalization, to full email personalization
