FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

The best reps never ask the same question twice.

Turn pressure to productivity. Our job as leaders isn’t to pass pressure; it’s to use pressure to get more out of our reps.

Ask your reps, “I look forward to seeing how you answer that question.”

Listen early, join late. Pre-prep and game planning will save you some time in the long run.

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

218 (Lead) Rep Shadowing & Ridealongs Done Right (Paul Canty, Pulley)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When responding to another parties asks in a negotiation, co-create the solution with them rather than going away and making a new offer to ensure they feel like it was a collaborative exercise

When prospects do things you like, label their actions positively to give them affirmations and encourage further positive actions

When aligning on a solution that works don't agree too quickly because the prospect will think they could've gotten a better deal, use a label like "Seems like that would be a good deal for you..." 

Use the "Late Night DJ" voice to draw lines without having to say "no" or confront your buyers
