Listen "When Sales Leaders Are the Weak Link in Sales (Part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Sales [UN]Training Kelly Riggs discusses into the critical role of sales leaders play in quickly getting new salespeople up to speed. He highlights three key areas where sales leaders often fall short, impacting the overall effectiveness of sales training and onboarding processes. He emphasizes the importance of a detailed onboarding process, teaching new salespeople to ask insightful questions, and sharing success stories to provide context and inspiration. Without a structured approach to onboarding, sales leaders risk leaving success to chance. He stresses that sales training should go beyond basic product knowledge, focusing on integrating products into real-world contexts and teaching salespeople to engage in meaningful dialogues with prospects. Riggs also points out a common oversight in sales training - the lack of sharing success stories - which can be a powerful tool for new salespeople to understand the practical application and impact of their products or services. The episode is a must-listen for sales leaders and professionals looking to enhance their training methods and achieve better results.
