For sales leaders, fostering a culture that values long-term relationships is crucial. A sales leader’s role should be able to provide their team the necessary tools and resources as well as the ability to remove any obstacles to make their team successful. Below are some core principles from the T.R.U.S.T. Process:
Instead of emphasizing what your company does, concentrate on WHY you do it.
Develop a clear and inspiring mission statement. Share the origin story of your company, highlighting its purpose. Communicate your company's core values and how they drive decision-making.
Create an atmosphere of trust and openness within your sales team.
Encourage team members to share their experiences, both successes and challenges. Recognize and celebrate individual and team achievements.
When engaging with your sales team, focus on truly understanding their perspective.
Maintain eye contact and give your full attention during conversations. Avoid interrupting and allow team members to express their thoughts fully. If they ask for your help, don't be late to a scheduled meeting. Make them a priority. Paraphrase and summarize what you've heard to ensure understanding.
In order for your customers to TRUST your sales team, then you must first trust your sales team.
Maintain an open-door policy for questions and feedback. Encourage autonomy and independent decision-making. Provide the necessary tools and resources for success.
Align your sales process with the modern buyer's journey. The T.R.U.S.T. Process adapts to your customers.
Map out touchpoints across different stages of the buying process. Provide valuable content and resources at each stage. Use marketing automation to nurture leads over time.
