Cultivating talent can be tricky for your sales team, but it’s essential. And it’s not just about hiring the right people but enhancing and nurturing current employees' skills to run revenue in a more efficient and effective way. In this episode of the Run Revenue Show, Mike Esterday, CEO of Integrity Solutions, shares the secret of how to hire, keep, and grow talent so you can run revenue like a pro.
Here’s what’s inside:
* Align personal purpose with professional goals. It’s important to engage in conversations that uncover employees’ intrinsic motivators and facilitate a deeper understanding of how their personal aspirations can be achieved through their roles. By defining and reminding your team members of the larger mission and the impact they are making for customers, you create a customer-centric mindset that drives performance.
* Develop a growth mindset in sales teams. Focus on not just what your teams are achieving but how they're achieving it. Encourage a culture of continuous learning and resilience. Implement regular training sessions that address skill development and mental toughness and encourage your team to set challenging yet achievable goals and reflect on setbacks as learning opportunities.
* Master the art of referrals. Ensure to instill the practice of asking for referrals as a habitual part of the sales process. Start by integrating referral requests into your sales training programs and foster an environment where sales reps can confidently ask every satisfied customer for a referral. By actively seeking out referrals, your organization can maximize revenue opportunities with minimal cost.
