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?

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This time, we’re talking about landing your forecast in Q4. Bonus: Get the 30MPC Forecasting Guide ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS The forecast should never be a surprise to your manager. You should be able to give one-sentence pipeline review updates and get through over 15 deals in a 30-minute pipeline review into your forecast. For your forecast, you're going to call your key deals and your worst case and move to your commit, which is your bet on what will actually happen. Play the spread. If your commit consists of one deal landing, you should probably have two to four in inventory. Throughout the month or the quarter, your forecast will start to taper. Don't be a sandbag - don’t set a goal or forecast that's way too high. RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Kyle’s Competency Framework FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Pick 1-3 competencies to coach a rep on max. Train your team, then establish a coaching rhythm to reinforce the training and a metric to track it. Get your managers bought in otherwise your training will fall flat. Turn your managers into microphones instead of filters. Give your reps multiple ways to get to a “good day” — build a Good Day Framework that assigns points to both inputs and outcomes. If you have a rep who isn’t willing to work hard at the professional development plan that both you AND they agreed to… why would you keep working with that rep?
