Sales Strategy & Enablement by Revenue.io

A Conversation with Chris Hatfield


Listen Later

Chris Hatfield is the Founder and Coach at Sales Psyche. Problems with mental health are one of the biggest threats to the performance of sales teams. Chris digs into the impact of mental health at all levels of sales and talks about how the key to sales brilliance is mental resilience.

Chris also discusses how companies can create a sales culture that nourishes sellers' mental health, as well as the ability of anxiety as an effective warning device. Finally, Andy and Chris discuss the organizational changes needed for a culture that takes care of sellers' mental health, and the impact of quotas and inauthentic sales processes on human behavior.


HIGHLIGHT QUOTES


A coaching-first mentality creates a vibrant sales culture - Chris: "I think a big thing around it is this kind of coaching-first mentality of always looking for a way to be able to empower someone and develop someone in anything that they do within their role, whether that's to help them become a leader eventually, or just to help them become a better, not just salesperson, but a person."


Investing in people is good for wellbeing and finances - Chris: "Companies who are investing in employee's wellbeing are now seeing a five to one ROI return, so for every dollar they spend, they're getting $5 back, which is showing that, even if you don't have that moral obligation to do this, there is a financial benefit of doing it as well."


Onboarding and training create confidence in sellers - Chris: "I think a big thing of this comes down to how people are onboarded and developed initially as well, and where I've seen this work really well, when you first come in, if all you're doing is teaching your reps about your process, about your product, about what you do, then as soon as they get on the phone, this level of confidence, if you're not necessarily confident in yourself initially, you'll be confident in what you've been told or taught or trained on, so that's what you're going to talk about."
