This will improve the predictability and accountability of your sales operations. How do you hold employees accountable? Keenan gives two pieces of advice for creating this shared culture of accountability: Reward honesty and base your predictions on data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-reward-honesty\">1) Reward Honesty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keenan argues that <strong>successful sales managers reward their representatives for being honest when they\u2019ll likely fall short of a target. <\/strong>He also cautions against pressuring representatives to change their commitments or find new leads when falling short. The goal is to establish a climate of trust where salespeople can share accurate pipeline information without fear of repercussions. This transparency will give you more accurate information about expected revenue, allowing you to address problems proactively and adjust sales strategies as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: According to management experts, creating an environment of trust and accountability among workers will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachhub.com\/blog\/10-strategies-to-promote-integrity-in-the-workplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">require you to model these behaviors yourself<\/a>. They argue that workers naturally emulate their leaders and look to them for cues about how to behave. Thus, they recommend that you practice being transparent and honest with your workers about decisions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterup.com\/blog\/integrity-in-the-workplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as well as admitting when you&#8217;ve made a mistake or fallen short of a target<\/a>. Your workers will then be more likely to embody these values as well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-base-predictions-on-data\">2) Base Predictions on Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, Keenan advises that you can improve the accountability of your sales team by calling on them to <strong>rely on data over gut feelings when making their sales projections.<\/strong> Your team can\u2019t effectively anticipate future sales unless they\u2019re drawing on clear and reliable information. Even if your sales representative has a \u201cgood feeling\u201d about a deal, that doesn\u2019t mean it will go through. Ask your team to incorporate prior closeout rates and other metrics when making their predictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Psychological research supports Keenan\u2019s argument that gut feelings are unreliable when it comes to predicting success. This is because of <a href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/illusion-of-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a cognitive bias called \u201cthe illusion of control<\/a>,\u201d which leads people to think they have more control over a situation than they actually do. Psychologists attribute this to three related factors: 1) People\u2019s natural optimism leads them to believe things will turn out in their favor more often than they actually do. 2) Discomfort and anxiety with situations out of their control leads them to overestimate their own control over outcomes. 3) Humans also overestimate their control over events because they\u2019re constantly looking for patterns and are therefore likely to infer cause and effect, even where it doesn\u2019t exist. Using data, as Keenan suggests, shows you clearly where your feelings are in conflict with facts, helping you overcome the illusion of control.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do some sales teams consistently hit their targets while others struggle?
