SALES LEADERS “Raise your standards!”

Manage revenue pipeline, as well as people pipeline

• Sales reps are just that…reps -- they represent


• Sales reps will one day become part of your alumni
• Invest time with SDR’s (listen to calls, host power hours)
• Host bi-monthly 1:1’s (must include personal stuff)
• Host weekly team meetings (always assess RPM*)

*Results, Purpose, Massive Action @rbarsi

@rbarsi
SALES REPS “Live in the present!”

Embrace the grind

• Resolve to improve your game 1% a day


• Personal network plateaus, professional network grows
• Master the role you are in right now; you’ll need these skills
• Study your craft (Hint: TV won’t teach you)
• Learn as if you need to teach someone else
• Hustle until you no longer have to introduce yourself
