Mark & Armand link up live and in person to discuss the when, how, and who of promoting sales reps to sales managers ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Efficacy in Sales Management: A sales manager’s primary job is to ensure team efficacy while fostering a supportive environment. Effective managers don’t just oversee but actively build up their teams. Conscious Competence: It’s crucial for managers to understand the "why" behind their actions. Recognizing the reasons behind effective strategies allows managers to drive consistent, purposeful change. “Taste Test” Before Promotion: Before fully promoting someone to a managerial role, conduct a "taste test" over a quarter to assess fit. Evaluate if they enjoy the role, excel at it, and if their team gravitates toward them as a leader. Avoid Common Frictions: Avoiding favoritism, limiting who can apply, or promoting based on performance alone (i.e., “super reps”) can lead to friction. Open opportunities for all and emphasize leadership skills over individual sales metrics. RESOURCES DISCUSSED: Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Foster belonging to engage the prefrontal cortex: Sales reps thrive when they feel they belong, as it activates their prefrontal cortex, leading to passion—a key trait in top reps. Start with one-on-one exercises before group activities: Begin with individual sessions like "Rosebud Thorne" to ease reps in before moving to larger group exercises. Use the 'Four H's' to build deeper connections: Ask reps to share four things—history, a hero, a heartbreak, and hope—to foster trust and authenticity. Gradually share personal insights: Start by setting the example, then have reps journal, share one-on-one, and finally share with the group, building comfort step by step.
