Episode notes

B2B sellers and sales leaders find themselves in the midst of an unprecedented Go-To-Market skills crisis at a time when budgets are shrinking and selling is getting harder. Joining the show once again is the inimitable Chris Orlob, CEO at pclub.io, the #1 Skill Transformation Platform for Revenue Teams. Chris joins Co-Hosts Matt Amundson and Craig Rosenberg to dig into where the current sales skills crisis came from, what sales leaders can do to help improve their sales reps’ skill capacity, and why sales reps should start with getting a concrete understanding of a proper discovery process. Plus, Chris discusses why B2B sales leaders should implement a skill transformation loop into how they train their sales teams. Also, Craig addresses an elephant in the room, Matt bemoans the illegality of ‘hacking darts’ in Foster City, and Sam the Producer laughs at Craig. Critical Takeaways Investing only in Sales Process is not enough to help sellers hit their targets, because process only covers what to do. Whereas, Skill capacity doesn't stop at what to do. Skill capacity is what to do, why to do it, and how to do it so that you're building judgment.
