Build and run a sales team

Pay, recruit, onboard, drill and rank salespeople, and set the rules the sales culture runs on.

  1. SOP 88 Pay and rank reps on show rate

    Get sales reps working leads daily: build a culture of execution, reward show rates with money and approval, and rank reps on three numbers.

  2. SOP 108 Drill a team on closing

    When ads bring prospects in but the team isn't closing: find the gap, write one master document, and drill one obstacle at a time.

  3. SOP 250 Memorize the script, then drill it in role play

    Use when teaching reps a script: get it memorized, then run daily role play that stops, models and repeats until each part is locked in.

  4. SOP 251 Set sales comp and a career path for reps

    Decide how salespeople are paid and how they move up: commission versus salary, on-target earnings, pay by skill, and a stepped career path.

  5. SOP 252 Market for salespeople the way you market for prospects

    Use when you need more salespeople and cannot find them: treat recruiting as marketing, do the hiring math, and work every channel for candidates.

  6. SOP 253 Run a group interview for high-volume roles

    Use when hiring for a role many people hold and many leave, such as outbound reps, and one-at-a-time interviews cannot keep up.

  7. SOP 255 Onboard a new rep in phases, with a test to pass each

    Use when a new salesperson joins, to take them from the first morning to real calls through a first week and phased tests.

  8. SOP 256 Run ongoing daily and weekly training for sales reps

    Use once reps are through onboarding and taking calls, to lay out their day and keep training them daily, weekly and one-on-one.

  9. SOP 257 Name the rules your sales culture reinforces and tolerates

    Use when salespeople know the process but will not follow it: name the rules your culture really rewards and tolerates, then change them.
