It’s week 10. You’re on a forecast call, and your rep drops a bomb on you. That $600k deal that was a “sure thing” is now pushed into next quarter because the buyer is on vacation for the remainder of the quarter. You frantically look to see if there’s something you can pull forward, but with only 2 weeks left in the quarter, there’s nothing that can be accelerated to close the gap.

My clients often ask about sales playbooks. Should they have one? What format should it be? What should be included? How many should they have? .

Let me ask you a question or two: Is every client you’re working with someone you wish you could duplicate? Are they profitable, finding value in your solution, and do you look forward to your next conversation with them? If you didn’t answer a resounding YES to those questions – maybe it’s because they aren’t the right clients for you… and if you’d found that out sooner, you may not only have saved yourself some headache, but had more time to spend on the right ones.

There is tremendous value in outcomes-based thinking. One of the reasons people struggle to produce the results they’re capable of is that they lack goals, and a focus on the outcome. For example, maybe you want to win a new deal. But you don’t win a deal. Instead, you do all the things necessary to produce the outcomes that eventually result in a prospective client signing a document that makes them an actual client.

There is often very little training for salespeople on handling rejections. If a salesperson isn’t able to handle how a “no” impacts them, it could impact their next call, their next activity, and can even compound into altering how they perceive their abilities. Being resilient, and knowing what to do in the face of that self-doubt is key in the sales industry.
