How To Be Succesful In Your Role
The changes in buyer behaviour and the development of the sales process are often spoken about in sales organisations but the changing role of sales leaders isn’t often discussed. Sales leaders have an important role in carrying the responsibility for the success or failure of their sales teams. In this competitive industry, it can be challenging to keep up with new trends while also maintaining a sales process that works for your team. In this guide, we uncover five essential skills a sales leader needs to transform a team of salespeople into a cohesive and committed team, capable of generating scalable revenue growth.
Be Engaged
- Be engaged in the business
- Be engaged on a personal level with every person on your sales team
- Talk to your team on a regular basis to really understand what is going on in the pipeline
- Notice the trends occurring before they begin to have a major impact on someone’s performance
Be Inquisitive
- Don't be tempted to just jump right to what we think is the solution, allow the salesperson to solve the problem for themselves whenever that’s possible
- Ask the right questions to help them come to a solution
- Listen with an authentic interest in their response and suggestions
Roleplaying
- Roleplay what they’re supposed to do and say in specific situations
- People need to hear what their mouth is saying
- Roleplaying gives your salespeople the internal strength and the poise they need to execute at a high level of proficiency
