'To all those sales executives I work with, here is a topic near and dear to my heart - Managing/Leading/Motivating sales people to success by setting standards and expectations. Normally, this isn’t such a challenge for sales people to understand. If they sell more, they make more money, leverage the comp program or qualify for the "President''s reward" trip.

'My purpose for brining the Challenger Sale into this series is to tie the concept of Challenger Sales People to the overall discussion. I read about the book a couple of years ago in a Harvard Businss Review article. I found it interesting then, and find the book interesting now. I know that doesn''t sound like a resounding endorsement but I''m all the way through the book and my purpose here isn''t to argue for or against the premise, findings and suggestions of the book.

'I’m sitting in a pipeline meeting and I ask the rep if the deal is going to close. He says, “Yes!” Great I say, how do you know? The rep responds with; “The prospect told me. She said they’re gonna go with us.” Do you know how many times I’ve hear a rep say the prospect said they are in and the deal never closes?

'What happens when one of your sales people loses a big deal? Do you kick the s**t out of them by calling out everything they did wrong? Do you play Monday morning quarterback and point out all the mistakes that were made and how losing the deal could ruin the quarter or even the year? Do you make it readily apparent how they screwed up? If you do, don’t.

'Why? Why don’t most people get this? Life is too short. You get one shot. So, it baffles me that most people don’t operate from this mentality. Are you a badass? Why aren’t you a badass? Being a badass means attacking everything with vigor, tenacity, audacity and passion. It means not settling. It means being committed to being the best you can be and never accepting mediocrity in anything you do.

'The biggest gap in sales is quota and quota assignment. Quota is almost always dolled out willy nilly, with little understanding of the market or what the organization is capable of doing. Usually, the organization has picked some arbitrary revenue number and pushes it down to the sales team with an edict that it must be made. We’ve all seen how this works out and what it does for moral.

'One of my favorite business/sales books is Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan’s Execution. It’s the best book written on getting s**t done. The greatest challenge I’ve ever seen with achieving success isn’t the lack of ideas, but rather understanding how to execute on the idea. Getting s**t done is all about the “how.” “How” are you going to get to the CEO?
