How to Help Your Team Sell More! Right Now! - Griffin Hill

Are you more likely to tell a buyer what you want them to know or, are you more likely to help them to discover what you want them to know?

 

If you are TELLING your buyers what you want them to know, your persuasive power is weaker than it should be!

 

Most marketing departments arm their salespeople with loads of glossy brochures, tear sheets, or information pieces that tout the superiority of their company’s products to all others.

 

Salespeople internalize each message and hope to indoctrinate their buyers by sharing the same information and the related document. What we now know, and what research demonstrates is that TELLING a potential buyer what you want them to know, is far less effective than helping the buyer to DISCOVER that information.

Master sellers use Brilliant Questions to stimulate a discovery of value in their potential buyers. You can do the same thing.

  1. Take the marketing piece and mark it up with your favorite features, advantages, benefits, and proofs
  2. Ask yourself what you want your buyer to discover
  3. Finally, consider what questions you can ask that will help the buyer to make the discovery for themselves.

 

Making this simple activity a part of your sales skill-set and then helping those you lead to develop it as well, will help you to increase persuasive power. Learning the sales secrets of the top 1% of sales performers will help you win more closes, more revenue, and more commissions.

3 Simple Ways To Inspire Those You Lead In 2023

3 Simple Ways To Inspire Those You Lead In 2023

Leader behavior makes all the difference in team performance.

The textbook on Sales Leadership: Strategy and Performance advocates for nine behaviors of exceptional leaders. Here is a simple way leaders can implement two of those behaviors and elevate team performance in 2023.

The two behaviors are:

Leaders Inspire and Motivate and

Leaders Teach

 

Following three simple steps will help members of your team to be more engaged and reach higher levels of achievement.

                          1. Encourage a goal orientation.
                          2. Teach the principles of goal setting and achieving
                          3. Follow-up.

You can motivate and inspire a goal orientation in your team by your words and your deeds. Encourage team members to set personal as well as work-related goals. Help them to capture a vision of personal and professional growth. Share your own goal-setting experiences and successes.

You can use the resources for goal setting and achieving to prepare your own teaching/coaching lessons on goal setting and achieving or you can share the link with team members in advance of a group discussion. Either way, you are teaching and that is a key behavior of exceptional leaders.

Follow-up is both instructional and motivating.

Tawe an even more effective leader.
