The Sales Doctor
Ingrid Maynard is The Sales Doctor. She helps organisations in Australia to improve their sales activity and results.




Summary of the Podcast

Graham and Kevin welcomed Ingrid Maynard from Melbourne, Australia to discuss sales challenges.
Ingrid was excited to share her insights as The Sales Doctor.

Sales challenges in a difficult economy

Ingrid outlined the perfect storm facing Australian businesses - high targets amid tough markets and unprepared sales teams.
Customers face more scrutiny over discretionary spending as costs rise across the economy.

Benefits of bespoke sales programs

Ingrid's programs are tailored to each organisation's unique needs rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
She deeply analyses contexts through stakeholder interviews to design customised, behaviour-changing solutions achieving future goals.

Diagnosing organisational needs

Ingrid identifies key issues through research - unrealistic targets, order-taking mindsets, lack of growth roles.
Leaders now face conditions their teams never experienced, requiring new skills and mindsets to succeed.

The importance of an engaged leadership

Ingrid believes CEOs must value sales teams as value-drivers, not cost-centres.
With leadership commitment, resources follow to empower customised solutions addressing organisational needs.

Motivating salespeople with realistic targets

Unachievable targets demotivate and drive dysfunction, not performance.
Stretch targets 50% above realistic baselines encourage problem-solving toward goals, maintaining motivation in difficult markets.
