Watch this 3-part video series from Dionne Mischler on why words matter in sales (and how to use them with discretion).

In sales, words are your greatest ally and your worst enemy. Used correctly, they can persuade and close massive deals. Used improperly, they can sabotage your hard work and prevent your sales team from hitting its goals.

In this first video, Dionne breaks down the importance of distinguishing “No” versus “Not Yet” during your sales conversations. Watch it below.

 

In this second video, Dionne breaks down how to use react and respond to prospects mid-conversation.

5 Fundamentals of Starting and Growing an Inside Sales Team

Revisiting my two-part series with Shannon J. Gregg on The 5 Fundamentals of Starting and Growing an Inside Sales Team.

How do you start and grow an inside sales team? How do you create the conditions for them to be successful? How do you build something so complex and daunting from nothing?

If those questions are top-of-mind to you and your team, then my webinar with my good friend Shannon J. Gregg is for you! In this two-part webinar, I teamed up with Shannon to discuss five key themes that must be in place for your team to be successful and scalable. Watch both  webinars below.

5 Fundamentals of Starting and Growing an Inside Sales Team

Aligning Sales Team Structure to Corporate Goals: Make sure you’ve got the right roles identified to achieve the desired outcomes.

Why an Effective Job Description is Key: Inside Sales is growing at an astronomical clip. Attracting the right talent starts with a Job Description that isn’t boring and actually inspires those who read it; driving them to you proactively.

The Positive Impact of Onboarding & Training your Sales Team Appropriately: Right up there with recruiting, retaining is the second hardest piece of this particular pie. Be sure to retain your people leveraging your Onboarding & Training Program.

The Right Coaching Cadence: You must provide consistent and constructive feedback. We’ll cover the best practices of effective 1:1’s.

Reporting: Just the facts please and the ones that matter. Data is great; however, data with a purpose is even better. And the best is data that clearly provides value in the form of action. We’ll review examples of reporting/dashboards for your frontline reps as well as you the Manager.
