Practical Wisdom from Kahle Way Sales Systems

For 30 years I've been training B2B sales forces to sell better. I've noticed this – that any group of salespeople, 20% to 30% are eager to learn and enthusiastic about trying some of the practices I teach. Of the remainer, some will try to apply some of the lessons, and others will fail to adjust their behavior at all. What is it that distinguishes the eager learners from the rest of the pack?

Let's unpack this.

: I've learned some lessons in my 30+ years of sales consulting. One is this: There is almost always a bottleneck in a company's sales systems. Typically, the executives are too involved with the trenches to take a big picture perspective and identify and fix the bottleneck. In this piece, I look at three business models: Solopreneurs, small sales forces reporting to the CEO, and larger sales forces with middle management. I identify the most common primary sales obstacles of each model, and offer a solution for each.
