Episode notes
Use Motivation Mapping
- Use motivation mapping to understand primary and secondary motivators like growth, autonomy, recognition, and money.
- Regularly reassess these motivators during hiring, onboarding, and check-ins to tailor coaching effectively.
Quarterly Development Performance Plans
- Establish Development Performance Plans (PDPs) quarterly to help reps grow skill sets, not as punitive Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).
- Have reps self-rate core skills and set weekly focused action steps for measurable growth.
Dig Deep with 5 Whys
- Use the '5 Whys' method to uncover the root cause behind skill gaps instead of treating symptoms.
- Keep asking 'why' until you reach a fundamental issue that can be addressed to improve performance.
