Communication requires intentional focus. It is a skill that should be refined and advanced as one progresses through one’s career. As with sales, internal communication with team members requires active listening skills. Understanding each team members’ needs doesn’t mean just giving them a 30 minute 1 v 1 meeting every other week, it means truly listening to understand and better support their development. Leveraging multi channel communication ation is something to consider as a sales operations leader. Relying on an email communication isn’t the best way to get through the proper message. Using tactics such as text messages, short video messages, slack channels, message boards, phone call, walking one on ones, you name it…

Open communication is vital, but even more crucial is maintaining constant dialogue. When there is a clear path to revenue and a proven process, it is wise to stick to these established methods. Continuous communication and reinforcement of the business mantra solidify the company's core values and messages. This creates a unified language within the business, where everyone uses the same narrative, buzzwords, and positive assertions both internally and externally. It's essential to prevent colleagues from deviating into ineffective paths while not stifling their creativity. However, a single innovative idea can significantly boost sales, making it worthwhile to explore new approaches. Give each other a chance to be heard end-to-end.

What you can measure, you can improve. It's essential not only to understand the definitions of various KPIs but also to grasp the practices behind them. This alignment helps ensure standardized processes, data hygiene, and quality data. Once we have confidence in our data, it's crucial for a leader to identify trends and patterns and make informed decisions within the business context. As a sales operations leader, the role extends beyond reporting performance to leadership; you also drive process improvements and systemic changes within the organization.
