218 (Lead) Shadowing Sales Calls The Right Way (Paul Canty, Pulley)
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS
Shadowing to remind yourself and your reps of the basics to spot opportunity areas
Setting a goal without a "how" is not a real goal, you have to understand how a rep is going to reach the goal while setting them
Always level with reps before you shadow a call to clarify the role they want you to play on the call & tell them what you hope
Use "Mr.Potato Head" personalization to ramp reps from generic persona based personalizaiton, to trigger based personalization, to full email personalization

May Special: Negotiation ft. Chris Voss (part 2)
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS
When responding to another parties asks in a negotiation, co-create the solution with them rather than going away and making a new offer to ensure they feel like it was a collaborative exercise
When prospects do things you like, label their actions positively to give them affirmations and encourage further positive actions
When aligning on a solution that works don't agree too quickly because the prospect will think they could've gotten a better deal, use a label like "Seems like that would be a good deal for you..."
Use the "Late Night DJ" voice to draw lines without having to say "no" or confront your buyers

216 (Lead) Enterprise Pipeline Reviews & Deal Planning (Greg Baumann, Outreach)
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS
Ask your reps to think about the "first win" they can make with a large account
Look for "Alumni" who have recently left key accounts who might be able to make introductions or provide information for your reps to use
Have your reps record "Last Activity" and "Next Meeting" on their opportunities so you can quickly scan through your dashboard and see which deals are at risk and need more attention
If your team have opportunities with next steps far into the future ask "did the rep follow up and did they get a response?" if the answer is no more work is needed

May Special: Negotiation ft. Chris Voss (Part 1)
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS
Condition your prospect for future interactions by giving them time back in their calendar & leaving them on a positive note
Do not talk to people when they are distracted,
Labelling someone's emotion builds trust and gets them to tell you more information for example "It seems like the value isn't there for you"
If someone is asking for an unreasonable discount get them to think about the potential implication of fit by saying "How are we supposed to deliver {value} while lowering our price?"

Customer Reviews
Tons of wisdom for new & seasoned Reps alike!
I was introduced to this podcast with ep 182 while I was prepping for an interview and found it so insightful now it’s part of my week to listen to a few episodes & share any insights with my team. The hosts, obviously being salespeople, are naturally great at leading the conversations and letting each guest shine. I love the lead-in prompts, ‘what would you do or not do’
P.S. The episodes with Morgan Melo and Jen Allen-Knuth episodes are must-listens!
All the training I’m getting (and need) after moving to sales
I went from a management role on the support side of the org, to a AM role 6 months ago. I spent the first 3 bewildered by my complete lack of success (I thought my work ethic could carry me, boy was I wrong) and the second 3 months “studying” sales with TMPC. My morale would be in a very different place if it wasn’t for this pod and all the associated resources.
Can’t get past the voices.
The uptalk. The jargon. Admittedly only tried one. Maybe I’m cranky.
