It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in management; you’ve probably had to deliver feedback to a struggling rep. Maybe they’re not hitting their quota. Maybe it’s a top-producing agent that’s crushing it, but they lack intangible skills and maybe rub a teammate wrong. It’s really difficult to deliver feedback that continues to inspire your employees, but at the same time guides them to get back on the right track.
In today’s video, I want to give you guys three points to think about when you go to deliver feedback to a struggling sales rep.
Number one
What is that sales rep’s “WHY?” Why are they waking up every day to come in to do this job? Is it to support their family? Is it to maybe buy a new car? Is it to be the very best at that technical skill set? What is motivating them? What is their “WHY?”
Number two
Everyone’s different. Every one of your agents has a unique personality and a unique story and journey. You need to seek to understand your sales rep at a personal level so you can start coaching them on an individual basis that fits their personality and that fits their story.
Number three
Practice servant leadership. If you’re a sales manager, there is nothing better than getting on the telephone and actually closing a deal for your sales rep. If you’re a managing broker for a real estate firm get out in the field, do a listing presentation with your agent. Don’t be scared to fail. If you fail, it just shows them what the real world is like. They earn respect for you during this process.
