In our constant pursuit to arm you with tools to become a sales master, we recently released a new book titled, Winning From Failing<\/em>, by Sandler Trainer, Josh Seibert. While there are entirely too many teachings in the book to list here, below we have highlighted a few that encompass the essence of the book and are important takeaways for managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point Number One<\/strong>: Adults Don\u2019t Learn the Way Most Think They Do<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exposure does not equate to learning. Just because your sales team is exposed to facts, does not mean that they will learn or become more knowledgeable. Memorization is not equivalent to understanding, and it doesn\u2019t breed growth. There has to be a natural progression from acquiring knowledge to the application of that knowledge, skill development, and adopting new habits. Once you develop a method to ensure that this progression is adopted amongst your team, you will be better equipped to help your team learn and grow, and you will see a gradual increase in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point Number Two<\/strong>: Adults Learn Best in a Learning Culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This teaching describes how to combat the backward logic that pervades most books and \u201cexpert\u201d training programs out there. Sandler teaches you to create and maintain a learning culture that encourages your team to try new methods and experience different results, in order to create sustainable changes. By creating an environment that fosters ongoing training (or learning) and reinforcement, it will help your sales team become more productive and efficient. As a manager, it\u2019s up to you to challenge your team to explore new behaviors and be open to a new process, if they aren\u2019t meeting their anticipated results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point Number Three<\/strong>: Supporting a Learning Culture Means Making it OK for People to Fail

Yes. We\u2019re really saying it. Failure is OK. In fact, it\u2019s a healthy part of the process of becoming better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the reality about learning: People are at their best when they can fail within clearly identified safe spaces. In these instances, it\u2019s OK to fail, and people can become comfortable with failure as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure created by many managers who stomp out the idea of failure is the exact opposite of the environment that you want in a learning culture. It\u2019s not about people failing to do their job. Instead, it\u2019s about creating an environment that gives people a clear window of time or an environment where they can apply something, fail without being punished, and try again until they become more confident. This is the best way for your team to learn, retain, and implement new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point Number Four<\/strong>: Start with Managers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be surprised at how often organizations think that their initial investment of time, money, energy, and attention should be to train a team, and not the team manager. Teams can only learn with effective learning cultures in place, and learning cultures can only be proliferated through leadership that is fully bought in and well-versed in the appropriate training strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all heard the saying, \u201cIt starts at the top.\u201d Whether you realize it or not, most team members look up to their managers as a guiding force or mentor and follow their actions. Therefore, your team will benefit greatly and be able to thrive by having the support and guidance of a fully equipped leader (you) who are committed to cultivating a positive learning culture.

As mentioned above, there are countless teachings in the book that you can help you learn how to progress with your team. Remember, the environment that you create for your sales team will have an impact on you and your team\u2019s lasting success. With ongoing training and the opportunity to fail, your team will become more efficient and see better results.
