Part of our journey as salespeople is the alignment of our individual values with how we sell.

● Coaching on self-awareness and incremental changes

● A seller's win rate is a key indicator of performance

QUOTES

David: "If you are a young seller who has that first sales job and you just are getting this message from the people on high that, hey, you just got to do this, again, self-awareness is not an easy, not only an easy path, it's not an easy path to choose, I think, and that's why you get stats that half the sellers are unmemorable."

David: "If I was deliberate about it, at least then I can then figure out if it works or not. I wasn't just muddling along. It was like I was deliberately trying this, holy crap, it worked. Okay, so let me examine that. Or I deliberately do this, it did not work. Let us re-examine this."

Andy: "The salespeople that work for them are basically the product, and that product is an individual who can go and operate at a certain level in a predictable fashion. And so, that's really the job of a sales manager. My job is to develop these individuals in such a way and manage them, coach them, so that they can really achieve a certain level of performance, that being quota."
