Salespeople can be some of the most fearless people in the world. It takes guts to pick up the phone again after you’ve been told “no” over and over. It takes guts to step in front of committees of decision-makers and tell them why they need to change and place their trust in your and your company to help them.

Steve Taback and I started our respective sales training firms at the same time back in 1985. We became great friends and he became the second licensee of Objective Management Group (OMG) in 1990. He emailed me asking if I had seen a change in any of the scores of the 21 Sales Core Competencies since the Pandemic had hit. Specifically, he was wondering if there was an increase in the number of salespeople who lacked Commitment or whose Outlook wasn't good.

Many people write about salespeople as if it was still 1978 when salespeople were more likely to use a high-pressure approach and when it was customary to straight pitch their prospective client. Most of what they write sets up a straw man that suggests that salespeople haven’t evolved over the last four decades, which is not only true but something that generally means they don’t spend time with salespeople.

By Max Cates, Author of Serve, Lead, Succeed! [link]. Servant leadership. The term itself is contradictory. It’s an oxymoron. It’s counter-intuitive and goes against the conventional wisdom of hard-charging, charismatic sales leaders. On the surface it just doesn’t makes sense – how can a leader be a servant? And why would you want to be one? The answer is that dozens of multi-billion-dollar companies have found success in servant leadership.

Now more than ever, people are finding it that much harder to find the drive and passion in their life. Everything has become stagnant and slow, finding the passion that drives change and growth has become something of a lost ability. The trick is consistency in your daily life regardless of your limitations, one of which can be reading a quote every day by someone who has embodied the life of passion and success whether in history or in today's world.

Sales structures look different for all organizations depending on the industry, size of the team, product, and the sales process. As your company and people evolve or as things change in your business sector, your sales structure should change as well in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Companies that identify the need to change sales structure continue to grow, while those who ignore it find themselves struggling to meet sales goals and stay competitive.

“ Good leaders don’t just happen overnight ,” according to Inc. You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s not quite true. Sales leaders are known for putting in extra hours. They’re usually the first to arrive, the last to leave, and often clock in hours at home as well. We often see this as a good thing, but it comes at one massive cost — not getting enough sleep.

I was working with an organization that does an incredible job of turning around quotes quickly. Sometimes in less than 5 minutes. That’s impressive. But when you add up the total amount of time invested in creating quotes, it can easily add up to 15 to 20 hours per sales person per week. But their closure rates are averaging only 10 percent. Something is wrong here.
