The Sales Operations Leadership Skills Course - OPEN

The Essential Sales Ops course for SME Professionals. This is the course that teaches you how to position yourself as a strategic leader instead of the go-to 'fix it' person. Allowing you to deliver real change

Impact Framework:



Insight:


Network with change makers



Actively engage internal stakeholders outside of the sales department BEFORE you need their help. Sales is often seen as being separate to the business and the sooner that stakeholders can see you’re approachable – you will need their help in future.



Assess the situation



Fully looking / researching / accepting the current state of play. This involves self-examination as well as the state of the business to determine exactly where you’re starting from so you know how far to go



Review success and learning



Awareness doesn’t end at the beginning. Performing project reviews allows you to increase your speed of learning, as a solo or small team department you need to be efficient




Focus:


Know the goal



Fully map out what good looks like, what’s acceptable and what is great. Do this to impact level not just handover level. Also spend time thinking about what projects open up as a result of this successful change implementation.



Make a path



Using your start and end point, plot out the steps to get there using HW5 if you don’t know where to start. Once written out find your ‘critical-path’ it’s the items that are consecutive and NEED to be done to get to the goal, that will tell you what your minimum time frame is. ALWAYS ADD EXTRA TIME into your plan.



Take ownership



You have to CARE about the outcome of this project, it has to matter to you. Think about the ease you’ll be adding to people’s lives when they no longer have to leap over obstacles to do a standard days work. This matters.




Action:



Adapt as needed



Be so secure focused on where you’re going that you don’t hesitate to pivot on the smaller details as long as the outcome, the realised deliverables will remain the same.



Protect the mission



When people see movement they like to jump on the train, this is a good and a bad thing; keep firm boundaries so that you don’t overpromise winnings. 



Communicate change



Change uncommunicated insights fear and suspicion. Consult stakeholders, tell people what’s happening and the timeline for when they will hear future updates. Stick to the update timeline. Be honest, be succinct, be positive. Belief requires maintenance.
