The missing element in your virtual sales training

Meridith Elliott Powell - 23 June 2020

The near Herculean effort by most organizations to arm their sales teams to conduct business 100% virtually should be applauded.  When in recent history have so many sales organizations been restructured so quickly?!
Sales teams are rapidly being trained to adopt new tools, new platforms and fresh messaging to succeed in a virtual world.  Yet there is one fundamental area necessary for success in which sellers have been left woefully on their own to figure out, and that is this: how do they communicate and connect successfully on-camera?
Experienced sales leaders will say things like “it just takes practice.”  Yet we all know that familiarity doesn’t automatically lead to expertise.  Practice the wrong things over and over and you’ve simply reinforced bad habits.
Talking and listening on-camera are not natural skills. The thousands of awkward, uncomfortable and ultimately unsuccessful virtual sales calls taking place right now are case in point.
New medium = new
