For all you Regional Sales Managers out there! In the corporate battlefield, draped in the suit of success and armed with the spreadsheet shield, stands the Regional Sales Manager, the real American hero of commerce. With a coffee cup in one hand and a strategy plan in the other, this valiant warrior leads their team into the fray of quarterly targets and annual forecasts. They're not just selling products; they're selling dreams, aspirations, and sometimes, office supplies. Under their watchful eye, sales territories are not just patches on a map, but potential empires waiting to be conquered. They train their salespeople like knights, turning cold calls into roundtable discussions, and objections into opportunities. With every closed deal, they don't just ring the bell; they play the anthem, because for them, every day is Independence Day from mediocrity. So, here's to the Regional Sales Managers, the unsung heroes whose victories are not sung in ballads but recorded in CRM systems across the nation. They might not wear capes, but in the world of sales, their spreadsheets are just as mighty.

The last time I was in a sales leadership role, the pressure to meet revenue targets was immense. The last thing I wanted was for my team's performance to reflect poorly on my leadership. "Sales" is already stressful enough. No one needs increased pressure or wants uncomfortable conversations with their boss due to poor results. So what I did was this... I started making morning role-playing mandatory. Just 20 minutes to start each day. Here's what happened next: 1) Within the first day, I could see where the problems were. 2) Not only did I see it, but the reps also saw it. That is huge. You can't fix something the other party doesn't see as broken. 3) After quickly identifying the reps' missing skills, I was able to strengthen their blind spots. Almost all sales reps struggle with: -Call reluctance -Getting past gatekeepers -Leaving voicemails that get callbacks -Qualifying -Presenting -And Objection Handling / Closing By role-playing, we identified which areas needed the most work and provided specific sales techniques for each step in the sales process that needed upgrading to achieve the desired result. Try it. And if you need help fixing those blindspots, hit me up.

Here are 5 of the top things I heard, that made them an ideal fit to work with our company. 1. I’m getting promoted, but I’ve gotten 0 development. They expect me to teach new sales reps and I’m winging it. (Sales Manager) 2. We can’t create new business, we have new business goals and incentives for hunting but my people still won’t make it a priority. (Owner) 3. I’m getting beat up on price. We are a small company. It’s all about the prospect liking me and liking the price. (Sales manager) 4. I present a lot, but I hardly ever win. They seem excited about the proposal and then they ghost me. (Individual) 5. I have made presidents club every year. But I’ve peaked at $800k. I’m exhausted. It’s all effort. I’ve never had formal training. (Individual) All of their journeys started by clicking the “book an appt” button above. And a 15 min chat on the phone.
