Good sales teams don’t compete against each other. A well run team motivates and supports each other. 🔥💪🏻 Being a competitive person is different. You need to be driven. But someone else succeeding doesn’t mean you can’t. Tearing down another building doesn’t make yours taller. Doesn’t seem like a hot take, but there is a lot of bad “leaders” out there. You either get it or you don’t 🤷🏻♂️ What are the best and worst examples you’ve heard or witnessed? #oilandgas #sales #techsales #energyindustry

Curtis Friesen, VP at Adanac Sales, shares insights on building high-performing teams in this evolving landscape: The traditional "sink or swim" approach to sales is no longer effective Today's customers are more informed, changing how we need to train and educate our teams Understanding individual motivations is crucial - promotion isn't always the answer for high performers Struggling team members might excel in different roles - coaching and reassignment can be more effective than termination Collaborative coaching creates ownership and strengthens organizational culture As Friesen notes, "You can always teach product knowledge, but you can never teach character or personal drive."

Respect is not given; it’s earned. Whether your title is CEO, Director, or VP, if you don’t show up for your team, they won’t show up for you. This is particularly true when it comes to building a strong sales team in industries that require “door knocking,” an activity that can be grating for many. Here are 5 tenets to consider when building a strong sales team. 1. Foster a Culture of Continuous Learning: In solar sales, the landscape is constantly changing. Encourage your team to stay ahead of the curve through ongoing education and training. Remember, the best sales professionals are advisors above anything else. 2. Lead by Example: As leaders, our actions set the tone. Show your team the importance of integrity, dedication, and hard work. When they see you earning respect through your actions, they’re more likely to emulate these behaviors. Bonus: If your team is struggling to make sales, guess what you should do? Go door knock with them and show them you’re not above getting in the trenches. 3. Encourage Ownership and Accountability: Stop issuing decrees and quotas; instead, empower your team members to take ownership of their roles. When they feel responsible for their successes and learnings, independent of you, market conditions, or any other factors, they earn respect from their peers and clients alike and set themselves up for long-term success. 4. Promote Open Communication: One-way communication does not make for effective leaders. Encourage open dialogue and active listening, and remember, as a leader, we can often impact more change by listening more effectively than anyone else, not speaking more than anyone else. 5. Recognize and Reward Effort: Acknowledge the hard work and achievements of your team, especially when part of their job is getting a door slammed in their face. Celebrating small wins along the way fosters a positive environment and shows that their efforts are respected and valued. Remember, to lead a team is to serve a team. When we do this, respect (and success) often follows. #sustainabilityviasolarpower #PoweringASolarFuture #solarindustry #cleanenergy #solarmovement #sustainability

The qualities that define the most effective sales leaders are noteworthy. Their exceptional communication skills allow them to articulate their vision and goals to their team fluently. In contrast, their ability to listen and empathize with their team members attentively cultivates a respectful and collaborative work environment. Their unwavering commitment to excellence engenders a high standard for themselves and their team, and their data-driven approach ensures that they make informed decisions leading to success. Above all, their innovative spirit enables them to continuously pursue novel opportunities and creative solutions, propelling their team to elevated heights of achievement.

Feedback is essential for growth in sales, but let's not overlook the valuable insights our Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) can provide. SDRs are on the front lines, interacting with prospects and navigating challenges daily. Their unique perspective can offer invaluable feedback on account assignments, lead quality, and overall strategy. Encouraging a culture of two-way feedback empowers SDRs to share their experiences and ideas openly. When SDRs feel heard and valued, they can contribute significantly to optimizing processes and driving success. As a leader, create a collaborative environment where SDRs' voices are not just heard but actively sought after for continuous improvement.

Day 6/21 Building a winning sales team: Is sales leadership an art or science? Correct...it's a mix Manage your metrics and processes = the science Lead, inspire, motivate your people = the art One without the other will only get you so far. If you don't have the skills, surround yourself with people that do.
