The Sales Management. Simplified. Podcast with Mike Weinberg

2024 was record sales year for Hannah Romell...

And this an episode like no other!

“Hannah the Hunter” (as she refers to herself) is the first person Mike has hosted not having spoken to the guest before the show. She got his attention with a LinkedIn post sharing her gratitude and excitement about her breakout year.

Tune in to hear firsthand how Hannah adopted a handful of simple, yet transformational, changes following a New Sales. Simplified. workshop that made a world of difference:

How Hannah’s view of herself as a sales professional and the realization that sales is a noble profession motivated her to be more assertive
How more effectively structuring sales calls and presentations and how saying and showing less, simplified things for prospects and increased her effectiveness and win-rates
How her managers not only encouraged her, but also raised her game with challenging role-play practice sessions
How she took back control of her calendar and became radically focused on the only three sales verbs that matter – Create, Advance, and Close!

This may be Mike’s favorite conversation yet with a salesperson and an episode you’ll want to share with your sales team.

Previous Episode

Is Sales Compensation Aligned with Strategy and Driving the Desired Behavior and Results?

By popular demand, Greg Stanley returns for Episode 88.

Greg was recently featured in Episode 85 where he and Mike covered a variety of topics but barely scratched the surface on compensation plans. The feedback was so positive from that conversation with many listeners specifically requesting a full episode dedicated solely to sales comp, Mike got him back on the show as quickly as possible.

While Mike has been quite outspoken (in Chapter 10 in Sales Management. Simplified. and Episode 54) about his three big pet peeves regarding sales compensation (1. Plans that are too flat. 2. “Commission Annuities.” 3. Not rewarding New Sales), Greg Stanley is a true sales compensation wizard!

Take a listen as Greg shares his approach and several practical, powerful tips to get your compensation plan driving the desired sales behaviors and results.ok at a salesperson’s “revenue contribution” rather than simply looking at “revenue attribution.”

Three Tweaks That Produced a Transformation

The response to “Hannah the Hunter” sharing the simple tweaks she made to transform her results in the previous episode was so overwhelming (30% more listens/downloads in the first week after release than any other episode), Mike was compelled to dedicate Episode 90 to further unpacking the sales gems Hannah so beautifully articulated.

Listen in as Mike shares his take (and takeaways) on these three critical areas where Hannah’s slight adjustments produced outsized results:

Better Mindset (and motivation)
Better Ownership of Sales Process (particularly during sales calls, demos, and presentations)
Better Control of the Calendar

In addition, Mike challenges sales leaders with the examples Hannah shared about how her managers pushed her, challenged her, calmed her, encouraged her, prepared her, and practiced with her — all of which contributed to her breakthrough success.
