In this episode of Selling From The Heart, hosts Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Jonathan Mahan, the co-founder of The Practice Lab, a training community for sales professionals looking to develop their skills through deliberate practice. He is passionate about helping salespeople cut through the clutter of tips and tactics to focus on the most impactful core sales behaviors. 

Jonathan Mahan joins Larry and Darrell to discuss the importance of deliberate practice in sales. He explains that while simple repetition doesn't grow skill, deliberate practice can rewire the brain and equip salespeople with the abilities they need to perform under pressure. By practicing core fundamental skills and receiving immediate feedback, sales professionals can change their behaviors and elevate the sales profession.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Lazy selling can be done without much practice, but high-quality selling requires intense skill development through deliberate practice.

Deliberate practice involves setting clear targets, receiving feedback during practice, and implementing that feedback immediately.

Sales leaders should prioritize deliberate practice to see actual behavior change and improve sales team performance.
