In my last two VP of Sales roles, I found a surprising trend. There was a high degree of correlation between my team’s win rates and the amount of time spent in the discovery phase of the sales cycle. In fact, the relationship across dozens of sales reps in different geographies was clear: the more efficiently we moved a customer through the discovery phase, the greater our win rate.

A sales discovery meeting is by far the most important part of a sales process. There is no more important element to selling than the discovery process. Yet, too many salespeople fail at it. They get lost in the questions. They meander from topic to topic, desperately searching for some simple problem or issue they can attach their product to, in order to quickly get to the demonstration or presentation part of the sale.

As a sales leader, you are no different from a chess player. Like a chess player, even you have pieces (sales reps) with different capabilities. They all play an integral role in your victory. However, the victory depends on how strategically you move these pieces. Effective sales leaders are in full control of the sales game. They know how to formulate a plan to win the game and accordingly move the pieces to accomplish the plan.

The current pandemic and financial crises create an unprecedented opportunity to engage our customers in high value and impact ways. In normal times, helping the customer understand and committing to change is, often, the biggest challenge. It is human nature to resist change. Unless the pain of doing nothing is greater than the pain of change, the rational decision for many is to do nothing.

Sales and customer service were once considered completely different areas of business – divided into two different departments, each having different goals, objectives, and strategies. Traditionally, sales teams would bring in new customers, while customer service teams were expected to take care of them. Though both contributed towards bringing profits to the company, they ultimately used different methods, often contrasting to each other.

If you don’t, you’ll never have any idea how to do it. And the odds your first rep succeeds goes way, way down.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
