https://lnkd.in/d5eM49_n I want to come back to this LN Sales Blog about Key Performer and their Winning Attributes in Sales: 1. Communicate Value: They have a value-based selling approach 2. Ask relevant, targeted questions and pro-actively listen 3. Practice Empathy as one of the most critical attributes - means for me - the old style (quantity out - orders-in ratio does not work for a lot of companies in consulting, solution sales or complex portfolio sales management) and empathy is difficult to be coached - it needs to be there - this is a recruiting issue! 4. Use a sales methodology to build a team of Top Performers. 5. Build a high-caliber pipeline with discipline and Know the right people - with the right message at the right time! 6. They stay open to coaching and Devolopment. This is a Leadership issue as well! 7. Deal with Adversity - Top Performers are resilient and look for the lesson - but this is also a Leadership issue. Sometime they need coaching (no blaming! as often performed). Mostly sales is a team approach - everybody wins, but also everybody lose. Not only sales - however sales is the major part at the front. 👉🏼 👉🏼 👉🏼 And: Every sales is unique - and should be at the place where he/she can perform best and last but not least: 👉🏼 👉🏼 👉🏼 Sales Performers need a Sales Manager = a Sales Coach and Supporter, not a Blamer. Sales Leadership also means to coach and remove obstacles within the organization.

If you’re like most salespeople, you were promoted to sales manager almost overnight, with no training or support and oftentimes no experience at all in management. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and even despair as you navigate a new role and sometimes even a new team.

With decades of sales management experience as well as experience working with thousands of salespeople, we understand the challenges and share real advice and tools to help you succeed.

What sales leader doing? The role of a sales leader extends beyond selling; they have very important responsibilities such as preventing mistakes, resolving conflicts, and typically acting as a liaison between their company, their sales team, and clients. They ensure smooth communication and effective coordination to meet sales goals and client needs. Especially when the company's long-term strategic goals conflict with their sales team's short-term goals, making decisions becomes challenging. While the decision might seem easy—prioritizing the company's long-term strategic goals—it's crucial to consider how short-term goals can affect the company in the long term. It could impact the company's brand, customer trust and rapport, and the trust of the sales team. Handling this conflict carefully is essential, considering its long-term effects. Sales teams must understand the situation without damaging their relationship with customers and strive to find win-win solutions if possible. This isn't easy, but it's what sales leaders are for.

Sean's Sales Tip: Lead by Strengths, Not by Control 💡 As a sales leader, your job isn’t to micromanage—it’s to create an environment where your team can excel by playing to their strengths. A consistent sales management process is essential, but it’s equally important to give your people the freedom to shine in their areas of expertise. The key is firstly to build a team that answers four critical questions positively: Can they do the job, or be coached to do it? (Capacity) Will they do the job? (Motivation, achievement, drive) Will they fit in while contributing unique qualities? (Team fit) Will they need excessive direction and supervision? (Reliability) 🚀 👥 Once you’ve assembled the right people, your next move is simple: Give guidance, advice, and coaching then get out of their way. Please give them the space and autonomy to utilise their strengths and to coach each other. In many cases, your team will outperform you in their areas of expertise—embrace that. 🎯 🔥 In my last sales leadership role, I had a team full of diverse talents. Ralph Kelly excelled at building high, wide, and deep relationships. Sean Kearney was a master at finding and closing new opportunities. Brian Greenbank was the Ace at account planning. Andrew Fleming thrived in creating and following processes. Jon Higgins handled strategic engagement with global systems integrators with aplomb Des Hunt built deal champions better than anyone I had ever seen. Shaun Cavens led complex public sector accounts with ease. GLENN OLLIVANT excelled at reviving neglected accounts and driving business in a very short time period. 💪 👏 My role was simple. Offer some guidance, provide support when asked, and let these incredible people do what they do best. Effectively get out of their way. It was an absolute privilege to lead such a team. 🎉 In sales, your greatest leadership strength is knowing when to step back and let your team take the lead. 🌟

Effective selling time can be defined as time spent working on pipeline development, opportunities and accounts in a way that drives the right kind of revenue for your business. Think about your team members, and try to estimate what percentage of their time is effective selling time.
