INSIDE Inside Sales Listeners

I had a great time speaking with Darryl Praill on the INSIDE Inside Sales Podcast.

Everyone wants to be a rockstar, right? You probably know a few, the sales rep who is always at the top of the leader board at your company, every month. The colleague who’s always invited to speak at sales conferences. The friend who’s always celebrating another big deal. You watch them, envy them, eavesdrop on their demos, and flat out ask how they do it; they just shrug and say, “I don’t know. Just lucky I guess.”

It’s not luck and you know it. Rockstar Sales Reps really are different than the rest.

The good news is that THEY may not know what makes them different, but after 20 years of training and coaching sales professionals, I do. I’m going to share these often overlooked, but totally learnable, qualities of Rockstar Sales Reps with you in this fast-paced session!

Join me as we peer into the world of the Rich and Famous Sales Reps to learn what they’re doing that you’re not…….yet.

 

Webinar: Recession-Proof Your Pipeline…..Now

You need to act NOW to ensure you hit your revenue target this year

Originally Aired June 9th, 2022 @ Noon EDT

We’ve had a lot of turbulence in the last three years. The pandemic, the Great Resignation, and most recently the war in Ukraine. All this turmoil has increased the price of just about every consumer good and I’m now seeing an impact on business spending because of talk about a looming recession. The result for your sales team and the reps you manage is that companies are or will be delaying purchases or reducing spending in general until they better understand the economic impact of all these events on the next few months or years. This will make it harder to hit quota and get to OTE (on target earnings). So, the time to act is NOW.
