    How to Make an Established Process Work Instead of Replacing It With a Trendy One

    Episode Summary

    Sales teams use various methodologies, including MEDDIC, MEDDPIC, and NEAT, and often switch between them based on the dominant trend. But, as our guest Richard Harris says, one size doesn't fit all, and it's not as simple as rip-and-replace if a process doesn't bring immediate or quick results. 
    In this episode of Sales Hacker, Richard shares how he approaches processes from creation to implementation. Richard also discusses manager-employee relationships and how we can learn plenty, even from bad leaders. 
    Richard may be the founder of The Harris Consulting Group, but he is still fighting impostor syndrome. As a result, he reminds everyone — including himself — to be kind and friendly to themselves, prioritizing self-care and mental health.

    Big Announcement!

    Big Announcement!

    Sales leaders play a critical role in a business's success because they are responsible for driving revenue growth and developing and executing sales strategies. And some of the benefits of being a sales leader are high earning potential, the ability to impact the bottom line, and the opportunity for career advancement, flexibility, and building and leading a team. 
    But, on average, revenue executives have a shockingly short tenure due to various factors, including the stressful nature of the job, the need for constant results, and the fact that sales leaders are often the first to be held accountable when revenue targets are unmet. 
    In this episode we make a huge announcement and Sam Jacobs, the founder and CEO of Pavilion discusses the challenges facing sales leaders, how the Sales Hacker podcast helped his career, and how you can succeed with kindness.
