Are you a leader or a salesperson? Then you know the importance of leading change.

On this week's Moving The Rock "Back to Basics" series, we dive into the decision to buy, which follows the decision to change.

Remember, people buy when they are ready, willing, and able to change, and we sell when we are ready, willing, and able to lead buyers to change.

Our job is not to sell our idea or solution, but to sell change.

Listen in, share your thoughts, and let us know what you think!

This week on Moving The Rock "Back to Basics" series....we talk about the buyer.

Your ‘fastest path to cash’ is to sell the way your customers buy, but that does not mean handing over the mantle of hashtag to your hashtag . It means leading the client to a shared understanding of their problem and your solution.

Check out our Moving the Rock “Back to Basics” series where we revisit the most compelling topics for building a reliable sales growth engine.

Sales is a game of probability, not a game of perfection. Many elements of the game are out of our control, BUT we can identify predictable patterns of success that help us to win more than we lose, and win bigger and lose smaller over time.

Why do great companies miss quarterly revenue targets? | Moving The Rock 28/09/2023

The truth is, as leaders experience success they become less flexible, less curious, and lose their ability to anticipate and respond to change.

Instead of seeking data to understand what is happening and how to respond, they prefer to rely upon gut instinct honed over years of practice.

Unfortunately, this can cause leaders to look at new events through old eyes.

What’s needed is an operating model that allows sales and customer-facing teams to leverage what they know (their experience) and what they don't (new data and insights) to ensure they can sustain the success their leaders, investors, and board members expect.

Listen as Chris and I delve into this topic!

Founders - are you still the best salesperson in your company?

We're looking for a company with at least 5 salespeople to build a completely self-sustaining revenue engine that doesn't require the founder to function.

In less than 4 months we'll assess and align your existing sales team, install our proven processes, and increase performance by 2-3x (without hiring additional salespeople).

This is how we helped a North American manufacturer open up new premium markets and accelerate growth from $25M to more than $65M in revenue. How we helped a fourth-generation family business build a self-sustaining revenue engine that could withstand a change of leadership while continuing to grow. And how we helped a venture-backed SaaS company grow revenue by 150% in 6 months so they could confidently achieve their next round of funding.

We have fine-tuned this process over 30 years, by working with 6500+ founders and sales leaders. And we are so confident in our process that we will guarantee your satisfaction, results, and ROI.

If you’re a founder who wants a self-sustaining revenue engine, tailored to your business so you can achieve the next level of scale in your business then comment “scale” below and I'll reach out with more info.

When you micromanage a team, you tell your people that you don’t trust them.

On the other hand, by closely managing a team, you communicate your desire to do whatever it takes to ensure their success.

One approach creates a healthy growth culture. The other creates a culture of fear.

What can you do to develop the team of your dreams?

Check out my latest blog and let me know what you think. I have also included a free gift from our friends at SightShift.com that could change your life.

When you micro manage your team, you are telling your people that you don’t trust them. When you closely manage your team you are telling your people that you are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure you both succeed.

There may be little difference between the two styles in terms of the focus you bring. But there will be a big difference in terms of how you are perceived.

In most sales and revenue organizations, accountability is wielded as a carrot or a stick, i.e., it creates a consequence that trains team members to anticipate or fear undesirable outcomes.

Accountability that motivates, however, focuses team members on the inputs of their decisions and actions. The understanding is that as long as you are working toward doing your best, the outcome will take care of itself.

One approach fosters complacency among its ranks and slows or stops innovation and change. While the other approach fosters curiosity and a leadership mindset that is constantly anticipating, learning, and adjusting.

There are two paths to change but only one path to growth. Which path are you leading your team along? Where can you improve?

It’s common practice for scale-up and growth companies to try increasing revenue by hiring more salespeople. And yet, out of two-million salespeople studied, only 8% consistently follow a reliable sales process.

Adding more team members without a reliable sales process in place is like pouring high-octane fuel into a misfiring engine. No matter how potent the fuel, the engine will underperform.

Fortunately, there’s a solution.
