Base CRM 3
1. What motivates outside sales reps?
!
!
!
“Winning. Always.”
Base CRM 4
2. How do you spend 15 minutes
before a meeting?
!
“Outside sales reps should have already done considerable
research on the prospect they are about to meet.”
!
!
“Use the 15 minutes before the meeting to review your notes.
Review your goal for the meeting and the general questions
you’re going to ask in order to reach that goal.”
Base CRM 5
3. What are your best coaching tips for
outside sales reps?
!
“My No. 1 coaching tip for outside sales representatives is to ask
good questions. No. 2 is to listen to the answers.”
!
!
“Be yourself. Authenticity shines through above those who use
‘the usual’.”
Base CRM 6
3. What traits should a great outside
sales manager or rep have?
“The ability to keep his or her mouth shut during a sales call and
then provide helpful coaching afterwards. The patience never to
intervene unless the salesperson actively asks for help.”
“The ability to shut up and listen will go a long way toward
helping an outside sales rep be successful. Selling is a
communication skill, and like any communication skill, it can
always be improved.”
“The best trait is a willingness to learn, observe and learn – and
incorporate only that which rings true into one’s own style again
to come across as authentic,”
Base CRM 7
5. What is the hardest part about closing
a deal in outside sales?
!
!
!
“Summoning up the courage to ask for the business, even though
if the answer is no, your dreams will come crashing to earth and
you’ll have just wasted all that time developing the account.”
Base CRM 8
6. How should you go about writing a
script for outside sales reps?
“There are certain questions and/or objections that sales
representatives know they will hear. It is vitally important to be
able to respond well. If there are questions or objections that you
hear all the time, think of ways that you can preempt them by
bringing up that first. Bringing up the issue first puts you in control
and allows you to frame it in the best possible way.”
“Scripts are not natural and reactions to them are all over the
map. If you want consistency, develop your own style. If the script
is all that a rep knows, then they’re destined for failure. Don’t let
them become parrots reciting lines.”
Base CRM 9
7. How should you measure ROI of your
outside sales team?
!
!
“Actually, I think the term ROI has become a bit buzzwordy and I’m
not sure what it really means in a lot of cases. I’d probably say
compare your cost-of-sales to other companies in your industry. If
it’s a lot higher, your ROI is screwed up.”
Base CRM 10
8. What are the best books for outside
sales reps and managers?
!
“Spin Selling” and “How to Say It: Business to Business Selling”
“Unlimited Selling Power: How to Mastery Hypnotic Selling Skills”,
“Influence the Psychology of Persuasion” and “The Sales
Winner’s Handbook: Essential Scripts & Strategies to Skyrocket
Sales Performance”
“How to Win Friends and Influence People”, “No Bull Selling” and
“Nice Girls DO Get the Sale: Relationship Building That Gets
Results”
Base CRM 11
9. What is the best sales compensation
model you’ve seen in outside sales?
!
!
“I’d say a combination of 1) customer satisfaction, 2) revenue
booked, and 3) strategic sales (like big name customers who might
become reference accounts).”
