This episode of the Live Better Seller Better Podcast features Zach Selch, Founder and Principal of Global Sales Mentor. When asked about the term "scaling," most people will think about the number of people on a team. However, scaling can be just as much about building skills and the characteristics that lead to success.

Zach shares about what he's learned from the military and the skills that we can translate into other areas of life, especially in business and sales training. He details some of the factors that can affect how people actually approach training and skill improvement.

How do we carry these skills over to sales training

QUOTES

Zach on picking up the skills to achieve your mission: "That's what sales is all about. You don't say, 'let me tell you how to cold call,' right? You're saying let's talk about this part. I can spend eight hours talking to you about a discovery call. And that's just like in the military."

Being a source of knowledge and experience for others: "That's what I love is building up people. It's nice to be a contributor. It's a great thing to train people and get them producing."

Getting people to talk regularly and learn from each other: "If you're not letting them know that you are with them in spirit, it becomes harder for them to pick up the phone. Like with everything, you want to build up these habits."
