INSPIRING AND INFLUENCING SALES
TEAMS AS A SUCCESSFUL SALES
MANAGER
MASTERING THE ART OF COMMUNICATION
One of the fundamental pillars of effective communication is
clarity. As a sales manager, it's crucial to communicate with your
team clearly and transparently. Provide concise instructions, set
clear expectations, and ensure everyone quickly understands your
messages. Ambiguity can lead to confusion and demotivation,
hindering the team's performance.
Janine Baratta says communication is a two-way
street, and active listening plays a pivotal role.
Actively listen to your sales team members,
encouraging them to share their thoughts,
concerns, and ideas.
Demonstrate empathy and understanding by
paraphrasing and reflecting on their comments.
By actively listening, you foster trust and gain
valuable insights that can help you make
informed decisions.
ACTIVE LISTENING
OPEN AND HONEST FEEDBACK
Constructive feedback is essential for growth and
improvement. Sales managers should provide regular
feedback to their team members, acknowledging their
achievements and offering guidance for areas that need
improvement.
TAILORED
COMMUNICATION
STYLES
Everyone in your sales team is
unique, and understanding their
communication styles is crucial.
Some team members prefer direct
and concise communication, while
others may respond better to a
more supportive and collaborative
approach.
STORYTELLING FOR
INSPIRATION
Humans are wired to connect with stories. As a
sales manager, harness the power of storytelling to
inspire your team.
Share success stories from within the team and
industry-wide to create a sense of possibility and
motivation. Stories not only capture attention but
also help team members visualize their own
potential for success.
