Confused?
Apr 26, 2024
Selling can be so confusing
Even before we start talking to customers
Especially when everyone in a company is not on the same page
It's like trying to row a boat in different directions - it just leads to a lot of frustration and wasted effort
This ‘Muddled Mindset’ happens at all levels - from leadership to managers to each team member
If we are confused how can we expect to be successful in helping customers make sense of things?
Lets looks as this using
🟠 Orange hat thinking 🟠
Here’s how we can fix 'Muddled Mindset' with better alignment:
🔶 Clarity
- Make sure everyone knows the plan
- We need clear goals that everyone understands and cares about
- This helps us all move in the right direction
🔶 Coaching
- Managers should be coaches
- They should help guide with support, advice and encouragement
- This mean everyone can aspire to be their best
🔶 Confirmation
- Check that we’re all doing things the right way
- Everyone should know how the way they work fits in the grand scheme of things
- This makes sure we're all aiming for the same result
Getting everyone aligned with the same goals isn’t just about fixing confusion - it's about working better together
Aim for clear goals, helpful guidance and making sure we’re all on track for top performance
