"My team are overwhelmed and stressed... it all feels out of control"

Orange Hat series - Sales Director Dilemmas 

They are not alone

You are not alone

Some things to consider to help with this are:

🔶 Communicate
… clearly and frequently

- Make sure your team knows what is expected of them and what support they can have
- Give them regular feedback and recognition for their achievements
- Help your team prioritise their tasks and focus on the most important ones

🔶 Challenge
… with opportunities for learning and growth

- Help your team develop their skills and knowledge
- Offer them training, coaching and mentoring
- Provide new and interesting projects to support their career aspirations and development plans

🔶 Cultivate
… a positive and supportive environment

- Create a sense of teamwork and collaboration among your team members
- Encourage them to share ideas, feedback and best practices
- Address any conflicts or issues promptly and constructively

And don't forget to...

🔶 Chill
… by encouraging work-life balance

- Respect your team's personal time and boundaries
- Allow them some flexibility in their schedule and work arrangements
- Promote healthy habits such as taking breaks, exercising and sleeping well

By providing the right working environment to operate and making them feel valued the team can relax into working with customers and adding value to them

(We use the V.A.L.U.E. Framework to provide a sales structure teams can build their activity around so they have more control of the things that make a difference for them and their customers)
