    By popular demand, Greg Stanley returns for Episode 88. Greg was recently featured in Episode 85 where he and Mike covered a variety of topics but barely scratched the surface on compensation plans.

While Mike has been quite outspoken (in Chapter 10 in Sales Management. Simplified. and Episode 54) about his three big pet peeves regarding sales compensation (1. Plans that are too flat.  2. “Commission Annuities.” 3. Not rewarding New Sales), Greg Stanley is a true sales compensation wizard! Take a listen as Greg shares his approach and several practical, powerful tips to get your compensation plan driving the desired sales behaviors and results.ok at a salesperson’s  “revenue contribution” rather than simply looking at “revenue attribution.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Accelerant Consultants Greg on LinkedIn __________________________________ This episode is sponsored by Pursuit Sales Solutions. If you are looking for help adding A-player talent to your team, contact Mike’s friends at pursuitsalessolutions.com/weinberg

    Identify & Eliminate Time Draculas. Become More Selfishly-Productive. Drive More Results.

    In this first episode of 2025, Mike is simple and straight forward tackling one of the biggest obstacles to sales success that he is currently seeing — sales managers, salespeople, and entire sales teams who have lost sight of their primary job and lost focus on WINNING NEW SALES! Too many sellers and leaders are engaging in tension-relieving activities instead of goal-achieving activities. They’re busy but not productive. They’re distracted by lower-payoff tasks and not prioritizing the only three sales verbs that matter — Create. Advance. Close. Listen in for a refresher on the power of time-blocking high-payoff activities and the importance of identifying and eliminating “Time Draculas” — those non-revenue generating, lower-value activities that suck an exorbitant amount of sellers’ time and energy and keep them from building pipeline and closing deals. Mike concludes the episode with a helpful, practical example of a salesperson who experienced a major breakthrough simply by identifying and addressing one massive Time Dracula that was stealing his selling time.

    Episode 86 is packed with several of Mike’s biggest takeaways from his work in 2024.  Buckle up as he unleashes blunt observations touching on various topics including… C-Suite and corporate executives who’ve completely lost sight of the sales manager’s primary job How the “slowdown” and having to sell into economic headwinds has exposed a significant number of salespeople (who thrived “fulfilling demand” when business was dropped in their laps) lack the propensity and ability to “create demand” and new opportunities in the pipeline  The unpopular reality that the past five years of working virtually has taken its toll on the career development of sellers – particularly new salespeople whose careers started during Covid and who’ve never benefitted from working alongside more experienced sales professionals Mike then offers an exhortation for sales leaders to radically focus in three simple, specific areas to drive more NEW SALES in the year ahead.

    Revenue “Attribution” vs “Contribution” and Why Smaller Companies Are Having to Raise Their Sales Management Game

    Episode 85 features a unique conversation between Mike and his friend, Greg Stanley, who specializes in helping small and medium-sized companies unlock growth potential by optimizing their revenue function and increasing valuation. Greg founded Accelerant Consultants after a long, successful stint at one of the Big 4 firms.  This dialogue touches on foundational sales management topics including getting the right people in the right jobs, ensuring that the sales deployment model aligns with the corporate strategy, and that the compensation plan supports (instead of hinders) the c-suite’s strategic objectives.  Greg also shares how private equity firms are moving downstream and adding much smaller businesses to their portfolios is changing the competitive landscape and forcing small company leaders to become more sophisticated sales managers. And finally, he makes the strong pitch that management should be taking a hard look at a salesperson’s  “revenue contribution” rather than simply looking at “revenue attribution.” RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Accelerant Consultants Greg on LinkedIn _________________________________ This episode is sponsored by Pursuit Sales Solutions.

    A Big Picture Diagnostic: 5 Reasons Your Sales Team May Not Be Developing More New Business

    Episode 84 was inspired by a recent discovery meeting between Mike and a smaller company looking for his help to take their new business development game to a new level. During the conversation, Mike shared his simple “Buckets of Blame” framework to help these executives get a big picture 30,000-foot view of five potential obstacles that may be preventing their sales team from bringing in new business at the desired rate – and to estimate the percentage of “blame” to attribute to each of the five buckets. Take a listen to see which of these buckets might be preventing you (or your team) from winning MORE NEW SALES. Mike wraps up the episode with a reminder to sales leaders about the power and value from having salespeople draft individual business plans for the coming year and points you to several valuable resources to help with that initiative.

    5 Powerful Ways The Best (Sellers) Get Better

    This episode was inspired by a session Mike facilitated last week at a client’s award trip gathering where he challenged these “Pacesetters” by sharing… 5 Powerful Ways The Best Get Better.  Mike recorded this episode believing it would not only benefit sales leaders but their teams as well, particularly those sellers looking to take their game to the next level and become perennial top producers. As you listen, be encouraged that there is no secret sauce or shortcut to staying on top or breaking through to even higher levels of performance. As Mike so powerfully points out, those who continue to improve and remain at the very top of the sales ranking don’t do that with tricks or hacks. They continue to dominate because they double down on the proven foundational fundamentals that always lead to success.  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Who Is On Your Team Podcast Episode New Sales.
