I spend a lot of time on the road meeting with sales leaders and because of what I do, we’re often talking about improving sales productivity. Inevitably, the topic of qualification comes up in conversation. So many organizations struggle with defining this process and then getting people to follow it once it’s implemented.

Opportunity reviews can make the difference between a sales team that delivers on an accurate forecast and one that doesn’t come close. I believe the key to a successful opportunity review depends on sales leadership doing two things right: (1) encouraging their reps to dig deep and (2) ensuring that the reps have the tools they need to execute on their action plans. Think about the traditional format that opportunity review conversations usually take. Ask your sales people about their perspective and you’ll get some surprising answers. I often hear sales people talk about the average deal review like this, “My average deal review is a 30-second conversation in the middle of a forecast review when my manager asks me if the deal is still on track.”

Often, buyers assume these two things about salespeople: You don't understand my business You don't listen These are undisputable truths that are critical for sales leaders to understand. Coaching and developing your sales talent to address these assumed traits could make or break your team’s individual and collective success.

It's the end of another quarter. As a sales leader, you are either feeling good about where the rest of the year is going or you are starting to get knots in your stomach trying to figure out how you are (1) going to fix what's not working and (2) move forward to finish the year strong. If you are in the latter group, take a minute and ask yourself, "What the people on your team are thinking right now?" When reps get to the end of the first quarter, they are always asking themselves, "Can I still make it this year or is the year over for me?"
