In the April 2018 SalesProChat, we talk with Colleen Francis, Ottawa-based award-winning sales acceleration strategist, Hall of Fame keynote speaker, best selling author and founder at Engage Selling Solutions.
In a recent article, Colleen suggests "Many sales leaders and companies make the mistake that a sales team is like a soccer team or a football team, where everyone has to be playing together in order for the organization to grow ... A sales team is more like a gymnastics team where every individual has to excel in their own narrow parameters."
Listen as Colleen offers her take on why the sales profession needs an individualist and goal-focused approach.
