If you were to observe a top-performing sales rep, you’d find they have pretty consistent behaviors and habits daily, weekly, and monthly. If only you could duplicate these behaviors and habits across your entire sales team, you’d be in good shape, but how?

- The Positive Impact of Onboarding & Training your Sales Team Appropriately - right up there with recruiting, retaining is the second hardest piece of this particular pie. Be sure to retain your people, leveraging your Onboarding & Training Program.
- The Right Coaching Cadence - yes, you must provide consistent and constructive feedback. Dionne will cover the best practices of effective 1:1s.
- Reporting - just the facts please and the ones that matter. Data is great; however, data with a purpose is even better. And the best is data that clearly provides value in the form of action. We'll review examples of reporting/dashboards for your frontline reps as well as you the Manager.

As a salesperson, few experiences are more frustrating than when your selling performance went well but, to your dismay, the prospect didn’t buy. The problem isn’t always you.

Joining a startup, especially as one of the first sales hires (if not the first) is incredibly exciting.

You've spent hours with inspiring, visionary founders in the interview process, you've met half (or more) of the existing team, and you've walked away with warm fuzzies. You've seen the product and asked a ton of questions, and you eagerly take the job feeling like you're getting in while the getting is better than good. It's great!

You ride the wave of excitement for a few weeks between signing the offer and your first day on the job. Then you show up. And the full weight of the realization hits you: just how little you have to work with. No process, no tools, maybe a CRM full of garbage or (worse yet) a CRM full of nothing at all.

You've got no data, no process, no marketing support, no guidance. In addition, you've got some BHAG in front of you and a whole lot riding on your shoulders.

In this session, Seth List, Director of Sales at Student Loan Genius, will share personal experiences being the first one in, and facilitate an open Q&A to talk through some of the issues you may be facing as an early-sales hire in a budding startup.

What we say we'll do and what we actually do can't be different. This session will give you action items to execute on, so you and your inside sales team can consistently hit quota.
