I’m a big fan of training, it’s true that most sales people wing it; they need structure and discipline in how to go about organizing their work. If management can’t be bothered to get their act together, can we really fault sales people/team? Sales structure, systems and discipline can help.

Shitty sales management can kill pipeline movement. As sales leaders, we spend so much of our time evaluating our teams and the individuals on them, we often forget that our s**t can stink too. This is especially true with first line managers. I like how the book (The Challenger Sale) does this.

How many times have you heard this: “Just because he or she is your best sales person doesn’t mean they should be promoted to sales management.” A sales person is killing it. They are the top performer for years and when a sales management position opens up, BOOM! they get the job.

Sales people had most of the information. They used this information to drive the sale. Buyers don’t need the sales person until much later in the sales process. A Google search has usurped much of sales people’s traditional selling power and position. This is a complete sales leadership miss.

The best thing to do to keep this from happening is to break your sales team into manageable sections; strategy, structure, people, process.

One of the most common sales leadership complaints is sales people don’t use the CRM. Getting sales people to use the CRM has been an on going challenge for sales leaders for far too many years. The reason so few sales people don’t use the CRM is because they see no value.
