WORKSHOPS OVERVIEW
Session 1: Performance Management and Creating a “No Excuses” Sales Environment
The foundation for creating a clearly defined sales environment begins with management - how you set sales standards and then demonstrate, communicate and inspect accountability to those standards. As the sales leader are you clearly accountable to reaching your sales goals? What shadow do you cast when it comes to taking full responsibility and creating an environment that does not tolerate excuse-making?

Session 2: High Touch Coaching in a High-Tech, Remote World
Managing teams is a different world these days. With technology interfaces and challenging rate environments, how do sales leaders coach their relationship managers remotely? They must have strong coaching skills and be effective at coaching, virtually. Relationship Managers and Lenders are struggling to connect with prospects; getting more resistance and fewer meetings. According to a recent McKinsey research study, more than three-quarters of buyers say they prefer digital self-serve and remote human engagement over face-to-face interactions.
Typically, less than 5% of leadership teams assessed have the coaching skills they need. This 90-minute workshop will provide a framework to help sales leaders deliver high-touch coaching to their teams to help them grow relationships and revenue in this high-tech, remote world.
