How Do You Onboard Someone New To Sales - 215

Sep 7, 2020

In this episode, Mike talks with Tanner Brock about his continued onboarding experience with Catalyst Sale. 

Questions Answered:

  • What has been the worst thing that has happened so far?
  • How are you overcoming this issue?
  • Why might our outreach number be lower than we expect?
  • What’s next?
  • Do we apply call planning in the context of outreach?
  • How do we measure success?

Key Takeaways:

  • Adjustment into an official sales role has been the hardest so far.
  • Rather than trying to be an expert, I am going to be a student.
  • Listening to previous podcasts you have done has been helpful and studying the frameworks.
  • It is important to be humble to understand why it isn’t working.
  • There is a big lack of vulnerability in the marketplace.
  • We need to ask if we have a problem with our ideal customer profile and ask if our message is clear.
  • It can be rewarding to share my experience applying the Catalyst Sale principles in my own life.
  • The only time I want to put together a call plan is when I am going to have a call.
  • Structurally the same concepts apply to outreach we send out.
  • All the Catalyst Sale tools build on each other and help you to think clearly
  • Profit and loss help us measure success. 
  • Gather data to determine if what we are doing is working. Test.
