The Essential Sales Ops course for SME Professionals. This is the course that teaches you how to position yourself as a strategic leader instead of the go-to 'fix it' person. Allowing you to deliver real change

Visit⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠www.salesopseffect.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more details | Register Now: ⁠https://soet.salesopseffect.com/solsjoin⁠

Impact Framework:

Insight:

1. Network with change makers

• Actively engage internal stakeholders outside of the sales department BEFORE you need their help. Sales is often seen as being separate to the business and the sooner that stakeholders can see you’re approachable – you will need their help in future.

2. Assess the situation

• Fully looking / researching / accepting the current state of play. This involves self-examination as well as the state of the business to determine exactly where you’re starting from so you know how far to go

3. Review success and learning

• Awareness doesn’t end at the beginning. Performing project reviews allows you to increase your speed of learning, as a solo or small team department you need to be efficient

Focus:

1. Know the goal

• Fully map out what good looks like, what’s acceptable and what is great. Do this to impact level not just handover level. Also spend time thinking about what projects open up as a result of this successful change implementation.

2. Make a path

• Using your start and end point, plot out the steps to get there using HW5 if you don’t know where to start. Once written out find your ‘critical-path’ it’s the items that are consecutive and NEED to be done to get to the goal, that will tell you what your minimum time frame is. ALWAYS ADD EXTRA TIME into your plan.

3. Take ownership

• You have to CARE about the outcome of this project, it has to matter to you. Think about the ease you’ll be adding to people’s lives when they no longer have to leap over obstacles to do a standard days work. This matters.

Action:

1. Adapt as needed

• Be so secure focused on where you’re going that you don’t hesitate to pivot on the smaller details as long as the outcome, the realised deliverables will remain the same.

2. Protect the mission

• When people see movement they like to jump on the train, this is a good and a bad thing; keep firm boundaries so that you don’t overpromise winnings. 

3. Communicate change

• Change uncommunicated insights fear and suspicion. Consult stakeholders, tell people what’s happening and the timeline for when they will hear future updates. Stick to the update timeline. Be honest, be succinct, be positive. Belief requires maintenance.

Sales Ops Effect Podcast Episode: Love Learning

Welcome back to the Sales Ops Effect podcast! In our Valentine's Day episode, "Love Learning," we explore the joy of continuous learning and its distinction from traditional studying.

As a neurodivergent individual, I share my perspective on the purpose of learning—pursuing understanding rather than memorization for external validation. I challenge the misconception that learning is limited to early education, emphasizing its ongoing importance in personal and professional development.

Sales Ops Effect Podcast Episode: Using AI for clarity 

Welcome back to the Sales Ops Effect podcast. Today, we're delving into the realm of AI and its practical applications in enhancing our skills as strategic leaders. I'm your host, Charlene Thompson, and I'm excited to share two ways AI has made a significant impact on my recent endeavors.

In my leadership journey, I've harnessed the power of AI for clarity and organization. Otter AI, originally a meeting recorder, has become my go-to for articulating thoughts. As someone with ADHD, traditional journaling falls short, so I talk to Otter AI. Asking it specific questions later provides clarity on priorities and solutions. 

Enter ChatGPT, my tool for planning and agenda-setting. If, like me, you respond better to questions than statements, ChatGPT is a game-changer. Instruct it with specific questions related to tasks, and it guides a more effective thought process. These AI companions have proven invaluable, offering clarity and order in my leadership journey. While human collaboration is essential, these tools serve as trusted aides when clarifying thoughts before sharing.

Explore these tools and share your experience. Have other AI tips or tools? I'm all ears. Thanks for tuning in to Sales Ops Effect, more insights coming soon.
