This could include case studies, testimonials, videos, podcasts, blogs, webinars, or any other format that captures their stories and skills. You can organize your success library by topic, industry, product, or challenge, and make it accessible and searchable for your sales team.

💡Develope a template, incl. general customer describtion, customer's problem we solve, customer's buying center/rating, pros/cons, competition offering, sales funnel time-line, our sales team/roles, what worked/what did not work. 🚩Caviat: Ensure all seles reps contribute in their own words. Not making it an ego booster of only a few even so they might be top reps.

2 Host a success spotlight

Another way to share top sales rep success is to host a regular session where you invite one or more of your top reps to present their successes and answer questions from the rest of the team. This could be a live or recorded event, depending on your team's availability and preferences. The success spotlight should focus on the specific actions, behaviors, and mindsets that led to the top rep's success, and how they overcame any obstacles or objections along the way. You can also use the success spotlight to recognize and reward your top reps for their outstanding performance.

I once worked for a company which enabled the success spotlight very well. It was the time to shine. Not to only tell about the deal itself. More what we did, how we did it, who was involved. Which issues we had to overcome and how we managed that. Furthermore, and this is very important, what did it mean to our customer. What is the result of doing business with us. Why have they chosen us. That was a great learning path (not just for me).

3 Facilitate a success exchange

A third way to share top sales rep success is to facilitate a peer-to-peer learning exchange where your top reps mentor, coach, or shadow other reps who want to improve their skills or results. This could be a formal or informal arrangement, depending on your team's needs and goals. The success exchange should provide an opportunity for your top reps to share their feedback, advice, and best practices with their peers, and for your other reps to learn from their experience and expertise. You can also use the success exchange to foster a collaborative and supportive sales culture.

4 Leverage a success platform

A fourth way to share top sales rep success is to leverage a technology platform that enables you to capture, analyze, and share the data and insights from your top reps' performance. This could include a CRM, a sales enablement tool, a gamification system, or any other solution that helps you track and measure your top reps' activities, outcomes, and impact. You can use the success platform to identify and highlight the key metrics, trends, and patterns that distinguish your top reps from the rest, and to share their best practices and tips with the rest of the team.

We all like a success story. Sometimes we learn more from a not so successfull story. Make sure to create a 'safe environment' where sales reps can easilly discuss different cases. That's where the learning starts.

💡Share lost opportunities while openly highlighting critical issues, oversights/biases, customer concerns, etc. 👉Then explore joinlty key learnings for future successes. 💡Typically we learn five to seven fold more from negative messages, e.g. losses compared to positive/win messages.

En plus de ce qui a été dit j’ajouterai: - Afficher la photo du commercial du mois (période à définir selon votre calendrier) avec ses réalisations ; - Afficher également les mauvaises conduites à éviter pour être un bon commercial.
