Building and scaling inside sales or sales development teams is challenging—very challenging. I've been fortunate to help my companies, clients, and employers increase revenue faster and improve margins by leveraging an account-based outbound model that's not dependent on inbound leads.The three things the most successful modern inside sales teams I've built share: 1. Focused on hiring the absolute best AE's, AM's nd BDRs then building a culture of accountability, teamwork and ultimately winning new logos. ( The A players I've recruited share these attributes, super positive, really curious, ultra-competitive, embrace change, and are gritty) 2. Building a repeatable sales process with a cadence of outbound calling, emailing, along with social outreach (no one size fits all approach here, must be customized for every business. To ensure highly accurate sales forecasting you need two things. 1. Inspectability and 2. Clearly defined sales process from one stage of the sales funnel to the next.3. Player/ Coach- Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and make as well as listen to a lot of phone calls. No shortcuts here. (Gives you street cred with the team and shows them you're committed to their success as a coach and mentor.) It also allowed us to figure out in short order what's working and more importantly what's not. Ultimately establishing much-needed metrics to manage to and helps the team make the number quarter after quarter."If you don't intentionally design your sales processes, they will design themselves."
