Mark Sellers wants you to know that you have blindspots that are killing your coaching and leadership. In his new book, Blindspots: The Hidden Killer of Sales Coaching, sales coach, trainer and author (The Funnel Principle) Mark Sellers exposes a universal problem facing sales leaders - they all have blindspots.  The fundamental problem with blindspots is they prevent leaders from creating emotional connections.  As a result, leaders don’t get everything their people have to give, and performance and results are compromised.

Sales manager and sales leader jobs are similar, overlap, and are often conducted by one person. Yet there is a huge difference between a typical sales manager and the ultimate sales leader. The sales manager’s position is largely daily management including coaching and directing the sales team. On the other hand, sales leadership is long term, focusing on strategy, planning, making future, long-range decisions. The successful sales manager must grow and eventually transform to a sales leader who can execute both jobs together.  

Coaching is the most effective mechanism for accelerating human performance. So, why doesn’t everyone have a coach?

Here’s a statistic that will boggle your mind: Humans consume 74 gigabytes, the equivalent of 175 newspapers of content, per day.

Sorting the “need to knows” from the “nice to knows” can be exhausting. Add to this a new average of ten stakeholders and more and more customers are defaulting to the status quo or a no-deal.  

Sales coaching desperately needs help: sales managers average only 10% of their time coaching, 50% of new sales managers fail in two years, 65% of sales reps miss quota, turnover for many sales forces is 20% or more.

The new gold standard for high-achieving sales manager has arrived with, new skills and, strategies:  in book format, comparable workshops, and this SMM webinar.

Selling to C-Suite executives in the healthcare industry is no different than selling to C-Suite executives in other industries - it’s still just as important that you’re calling on the relevant executive for your sales opportunity.  The first thing salespeople need to do is “sit on the other side of the desk” and view their sales opportunity from the perspective of the health care executive.
