Thinking Beyond The Numbers - Bill Ripol- Coach2Scale - Episode # 036
Today’s guest is a longtime sales leader who actually began his career journey as a teacher. Bill Ripol is the President and GM of TriMech. Bill joins Host Matt Benelli to dive into the right numbers to think about day-to-day, how to hire resilient sales reps, and why leading by example remains crucial to building successful teams.
Takeaways:
- True leadership is demonstrated through actions rather than words. Creating a culture of self-leadership within your team is crucial.
- Be open to learning and evolving through aha moments, recognizing the importance of mental preparation and risk-taking in sales.
- Develop a process-oriented approach. Emphasizing processes over products helps in adapting selling techniques across different divisions, fostering adaptability and a focus on strategy.
- Distinguish between training (preparing for performance) and coaching (tweaking and improving performance), and understand where they intersect.
- Encourage your team to practice visualization to prepare mentally for various sales scenarios, improving confidence and performance.
- Seek candidates who've overcome challenges and have a history of success, indicating they possess the resilience necessary for long-term success in sales.
- Build an environment where team members feel valued, supported, and motivated to contribute their best, leading by example and focusing on collective success over individual accolades.
Quote of the Show:
- “If you think about the process and the different actions you have to take and the way you need to do it, which is nuanced in sales, then you're going to have success.” - Bill Ripol
