Deciding who will support your teams will determine the success of your company. Too often, an owner decides he has to settle for a certain leader because they feel there isn't any other option. Please hear me when I say, KEEP LOOKING! Leadership can be taught, but it's secondary to the ability to lead. Picking up and reading a John Maxwell book may help you polish off the rough edges, but it will not make you a great leader until you put proper understanding, drive, and action behind it. Sales Leaders need to manage the ACTIVITIES and not the RESULTS. The results will come when the professionals do the activities to make them successful. The issue here is that Sales Reps are LAZY and most allow the customer to train them to fail and forget what they were taught to be a rockstar. That's why TOP REP attendees have become the industry's new top bar! The next event is in Wilmington, NC - Feb 19th & 20th. Register at www.TOPREPtraining.com

In the competitive sales world, having a coherent strategy is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. Michael Rodriguez, PhD and I devote the opening chapters of our book, "Sales Leadership," to demystifying sales strategy and underscoring its critical role in corporate success. Understanding and developing a coherent sales strategy can often be overlooked, yet it is the backbone of effective business operations. Our book illustrates that sales strategy isn't static or one-dimensional; it's a vibrant and evolving framework that thrives on the dynamic engagement between your salesforce and your clientele. "Sales Leadership" is the navigational beacon to steer your efforts toward maximized sales performance. It's not just a book; it's a blueprint for those who aspire to weave strategy into the fabric of their sales activities and achieve outstanding results.

Sales and Leadership The path to progress The integration of sales and leadership skills moulds professionals who are adept at self-promotion and persuasion, and have the wisdom to inspire others and drive collective action towards reaching shared goals. This synergy facilitates a multiplicative effect on one’s capacity to succeed. - **Influence and Impact**: Mastery in sales bolstered by leadership ability enhances one’s capacity to influence both individuals and larger groups, substantially thus increasing the potential for impact. - **Relationship Building **: Clear communication skills enable the cultivation of strategic relationships, while leadership skills ensure these relationships are fully nurtured towards achieving long-term goals. - **Resilience and Vision**: Leadership provides the resilience needed to weather rejection and setbacks highly common in business, while team sales experience instils a pragmatic grounding to reaching leadership visions.

Strong business relationships are critical to success. You can develop and strengthen your leadership abilities and improve business outcomes based on the insights and feedback you are able to glean from a trusted network. Making these relationships a priority offers numerous advantages. These include: • learning from the experience and expertise of others, • gaining more customer referrals, and • enlarging your network. By forging these partnerships, you are likely to learn information that will advance your company. Getting feedback from others will help you know how to set your priorities. For example, at Force4, over 80% of our business is with people we’ve worked with before. These CEOs and marketing leaders are happy repeat customers who know us and trust us to deliver. This is a testament to our ability to form solid, positive and long-lasting relationships that fuel our business year after year.
