Here's how you can receive feedback without becoming defensive in a Sales Operations role.

Like most of sales persons turn out to e bad purchase guys, and many thinks sales is all about bragging, loud talk & forcing one’s opinion on others. Sadly answer is big NO. Anyone with patience to hear other person out may be one of the best sales guy around. Most of people when they talk about problems, not one or two they also hint at probable Mukti solution to it. Answer lies in listening. I used to quote pressure cooker theory to drive point home to our sales team. It works like, first one should allow steam to escape slowly without interruption & when steam is out one can open the lid easily. Until one knows the full dimension of other person’s viewpoint, nothing can be convincing. When team talks, one must listen & vice versa.😎

Let's talk about a superpower we all need: receiving feedback like a pro! 🦸♀️ I remember when my boss pointed out some flaws in my pipeline analysis. My first instinct? Defend my work! 🛡️ But I took a deep breath and counted to 10 instead. Game-changer alert! 🚨 That pause helped me see the gold in her feedback. It wasn't an attack, but a chance to level up our sales process! 📈 Here's the deal: When feedback hits, don't jump to defend. Take a beat, breathe, and ask yourself, "How can this make our sales machine even more awesome?" 🤔 Remember, in Sales Ops, we're all about optimization. Treat feedback like a turbo boost for your skills! 🚀 Stay cool, reflect, and watch your performance soar! 💪 You've got this!

Imagine this: your manager says your reports need improvement. Instead of panicking, I've learned to get curious! 🧐 Ask questions like, "Could you show me an example of what you're looking for?" or "Which metrics should I focus on improving?" These questions are pure gold! 💰 Here's the deal: questions aren't admitting defeat—they're your toolkit for success! 🛠️ They show you're engaged and ready to level up. I once transformed a vague "improve forecasting" comment into a game-changing overhaul of our prediction model, all by asking the right questions! Remember: in Sales Ops, clarity is king 👑. Don't guess—ask and conquer! Keep those questions coming, and watch your skills (and results) soar! 🚀 You've got this!
