Revenue Rascals | Sales Strategies for Business Growth
How to Train Employees to Spot Sales Opportunities (Even If They Aren’t in Sales)
Have you ever wondered why your revenue growth lands on the shoulders of just two or three people in your company? Maybe you're asking the wrong question. Michelle breaks down the "how do I get my team to sell more" mindset and introduces a new way to increase your sales. She introduces the four responsibilities of every employee, whether they carry a sales title or not. Michelle makes the case that every single customer touchpoint is a revenue opportunity hiding in plain sight, but most companies don’t know how to teach their people what to listen for. Michelle dives into the difference between "sales culture" and "revenue culture," and why the latter is the real win. She walks through her four-part framework in detail and answers rapid-fire questions she hears most from business owners. If you've got a small team wearing a lot of hats, Michelle’s advice gives you a repeatable system to help everyone contribute to growth without turning your whole staff into "salespeople."
