FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Run weekly team deal reviews where the entire team finds the blindspots in a deal. Make those deal reviews positive and fun — it’s us versus the deal, not us vs the rep. Use the benign reachout early in your sales cycle by having your CEO send a note to their CEO offering their early support in the evaluation. Get beyond just doing demos. If you talk about features you’ll be relegated to the folks who want to talk about that (a CFO doesn’t care).

Shay's Tactic Toolkit: How You Work Questions FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Write down every priority you could work on, then narrow it down to the top 3 and be okay letting things burn. Don’t stop drilling in on those priorities until your team starts to complete your sentences and tattle on themselves. If you wanna get your teams prospecting, set daily expectations, put them in calendar invites in an operating rhythm, then get wildly tactical on how to do it. Use the “How You Work” questions to get to know the human behind the seller and push them to the next level.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Hit adversity head-on. If you got hit with the RIF — tell them you probably could have survived, and here’s how. Never be surprised — get the cheat code questions to the interview from your recruiter and interviewer. Be concise. Start with the 4-step process, then ask them how deeply you want them to unpack each. Golden hour follow-ups. Within 60 minutes, hit the recruiter and interviewer — and stand out by sharing what you could’ve done better in the interview or maybe even your favorite cold emails.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Split 1:1s and deal reviews — don’t try to combine a professional development chat with a pipeline review! Before a pipe review, ensure your reps pre-select the deals they want to review and prepare win strategy docs, mapping out all key external stakeholders. Beat up the deals with the so-what train. Keep asking so-what to uncover the implication of the pain — until you don’t have an answer anymore, that’s what you need to find out. Two questions to determine if a rep is ready to be a manager: Can they clearly communicate why they’re winning? And are YOU learning from that rep?
