How do you win – and continue to win – in the midst of #disruption? The traditional tools and strategies aren't working. We need to take a new path in #salesenablement and #revenue.

Are you planning your #sko or did you already run your annual #saleskickoff? 2021 is all about tackling the challenges 2020 brought to the forefront.

We're asking participants, What are your biggest fears around achieving success in 2021?

Top thought: "I'm afraid that our team members will start operating in silos and collaboration will decline rapidly." #ThoughtExchange #Sales #salestraining

"Virtual meetings aren't the same as face to face." #salesenablement in the virtual world need new resources, tech that will facilitate #scaleddiscussion 👀

How to ensure development continues in the new reality? How do we keep people aligned in a #virtualworkplace? We can't replicate #FaceToFace meetings, but we can find a way to make virtual meetings more impactful and maybe even better than #f2f!

Maybe...#f2f meetings weren't the optimal way to align teams and execute strategies. They worked for extroverts but often silenced other voices in your group.

In 2021, leaders have a choice: #staythecourse and use the tools that worked before the pandemic. Or they can find a better way: 1. Forge partnerships 2. Sharpen your focus 3. Ask the right questions

Forging partnerships: Acknowledge the risk of not collaborating. Share the sales strategy and ask the team what they need to execute on it. Then build a path using their feedback.

Sharpening focus: fewer meetings that accomplish more. Informed decisions that stick. Winning tactics that field reality. Nuanced strategies that address complex problems. Hearing from all of your team means fewer #blankspots.

Alignment at the beginning of the year is easy. But later on, when misalignment inevitably happens – that's an expensive fix. So how do we maintain the alignment from the beginning?

Asking the right questions. @JohnCMaxwell says "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions"

We've worked with leaders who found the solution to increase performance and aligning their organizations. The solution is a #discussion tool #ThoughtExchange that enables leaders to ask the right questions and uncover unbiased data to make better decisions.

#shamelessplug 😳

How do you embed questions into your operating cadence? Using #ThoughtExchange you can ask your entire team or organization and get real-time analytics to inform your strategy.

Example: "What are the 1-3 key factors that have helped you consistently hit your quota?" Imagine getting 1,200 answers with sophisticated analytics and actionable data in just a few minutes.

Improve your culture and collaboration when you lean in to ask the questions and create a discussion with your organization.

Create the space and your team will come with opportunities and insights you might not otherwise discover!
