    Mike is joined by sales management expert and coach (former golf pro and top-ranked salesperson), Matt Ferguson for a wide-ranging conversation covering…. The fact that almost every sales manager they know feels overwhelmed, overworked, under-appreciated and under-supported Almost 90% of sales leaders say they received ZERO training for their current role Why the transition from top-producing individual contributor into sales manager is so difficult How the phrase “you are who you hang out with” is not just wise advice for picking your friends, but also applies to salespeople targeting the right accounts to pursue for new business The importance of smart talent management and danger of managers constantly living in what Matt refers to as “The Mess”  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The current PROMOTION on the Sales Management.

    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.

    The 3 Critical Elements to Create a Successful Sales Blitz Campaign

    This episode was inspired by recent conversations between Mike and sales leaders at three different clients  — all in very different industries, and all currently selling into some significant headwinds. Building off this powerful mantra that his dad often preached:  "In good times we need to get our fair share of the business, but when things are tough we need to get an unfair share…" ...Mike unpacks the old school concept of creating a focused, intense, orchestrated sales blitz (or campaign) and his theory that these types of short-duration campaigns are often so successful because they incorporate all three elements of his NEW SALES DRIVER framework from New Sales. Simplified. Select Targets Create & Deploy Weapons Plan & Execute the Attack If you or your team would benefit from creating additional intensity, focus, and accountability, while at the same time sharpening both your strategic target list and your sales weapons, then this episode is for you.

    Selling in a Post-Trust World

    In this episode Mike hosts his long-time friend, Larry Levine (who he often refers to as the most authentic and generous person in the sales improvement industry), for a very different conversation about the current “State of Sales” and how we can respond to it. Their discussion revolves around how salespeople (and leaders) must adapt to thrive while Selling in a Post-Trust World. And as Mike declares in the foreword to Larry’s new book (with that title), it is very rare when a literary work is so perfectly timed to address a situation that is both urgent and critically important.  We are indeed living (and attempting to sell) in a post-trust world. Everywhere you turn there is deep skepticism – and unfortunately, it’s deserved. Truly, this is the issue of the day. Artificial intelligence. Deep fakes. Spam. Bots. Add to that the horrendous, annoying, trust-busting approaches causing sellers to come across as the self-absorbed, transactional, uncaring and unprofessional salespeople Larry unapologetically labels as Empty Suits. Listen in as Larry and Mike address topics you haven’t heard tackled on this show before. This is one of those episodes you’ll likely want to pass along to your sales team!

    An Impressive, Bold, Hungry, High EQ 19-Year-Old Shows Salespeople the Power of a Personalized Prospecting Phone Call

    Episode 79 was unplanned but Mike felt compelled to describe his recent encounter with a bold, hungry 19-year-old.  Stuart was so impressive that Mike took a few minutes to record his impromptu reaction and also deliver a rant to salespeople who still (falsely) believe/proclaim that the telephone isn’t an effective way to secure a conversation with strategic target prospects. Not only will you be blown away by what this young man Stuart accomplished with a few dials of the phone and high EQ, you’ll likely want to share this story with members of your sales team – particularly the ones sitting around waiting for leads or who continue their futile and pathetic efforts “bumping” their lame, spammy emails to the top of prospects’ inboxes – hoping beyond hope that someone will respond!

    Selling Your Way In

    Episode 78 features Kristie Jones, author the fabulous new book, Selling Your Way In, which Mike describes in the foreword as one of the most unique and powerful resources he has consumed in his 34-year career. Mike met Kristie years ago at a client they were both helping, and he’s had the privilege of watching Kristie’s business and influence in the sales community rapidly expand over the past decade. When asked why Kristie has been so successful Mike's answer is simple and direct: She is a master at making others successful!  And that was her motivation for writing Selling Your Way In – the desire to provide readers/listeners with a behind-the-scenes peek at the makeup, mindset, disciplines, approaches, and actions of the top-ten percent of sales pros, the real sales rockstars who absolutely crush it, year after year – so they can become sales rockstars too!    ________________________________ JUST ANNOUNCED: The October Supercharge Your Sales Leadership event at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta filled so quickly that Mike and team just added a new date in November. If you’d benefit from a full-day intensive with 50 sales leaders and Mike focused on radically ramping-up sales management effectiveness, check out the packed agenda, premium venue and powerful outcomes you can expect from attending: mikeweinberg.com/atlanta2024 ________________________________ 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
