Discovering Your Sales Blind Spots with Mark Sellers #307
Sales managers fail to achieve greater success in leadership and coaching because of their blind spots. According to guest Mark Sellers, blind spots are behaviors that prevent them from creating emotional connections with their sales staff. In this episode Mark and I discuss common blind spots and what we can do to discover and uncover them.
Mark’s Personal Blind Spots
Mark opened up about life experiences that created a significant shift in how he viewed the world.
-
- Noticed how checked out sales reps act during sales funnel reviews. Yet he did nothing about it.
- Despite finding success he didn’t feel it due to self absorption
Take Action Advice
Through mindfulness we work to better understand ourselves and how we interact with the world.
-
- Deal with your ego, the root of blind spots. Be honest with yourself. Admit you’re going to need help and know who you are.
- Become more open and vulnerable with all you work with. It will generate trust and productive conversation.
