1 Assess your team's readiness

Before you give your team more autonomy, you need to assess their readiness and capabilities. Consider factors such as their experience, skills, knowledge, motivation, and confidence. You can use a simple framework such as the situational leadership model to determine the appropriate level of direction and support for each salesperson. For example, if your salesperson is new or inexperienced, you may need to provide more guidance and feedback. If your salesperson is competent and committed, you may need to give more freedom and responsibility.

Communication is the key. It is always good to check on your team no matter how much experience they have. It builds trust, makes everyone feel the support, and clears up the understanding of a current situation.

Time is a questionable thing when it comes to readiness requirements. We tend to think: in another year, you'll be ready, or "in 5 years you'll be eligible to do this or that"... This type of approach can literally destroy the motivation of a person if not well managed. I understand that readiness should be as less time related as possible, and driven by behavior and track record. Once you understand a person is consistently taking the best possible decisions and their instincts are tunned to the job that person is performing, that is way more important than time and can keep the wave of good results. Everyone would like to grow at max speed. If you put barriers in one's carrier growth, that person is probably look somewhere else to be

2 Define the scope and boundaries

Once you have assessed your team's readiness, you need to define the scope and boundaries of their autonomy. This means clarifying what decisions they can make, what resources they can use, what goals they need to achieve, and what expectations they need to meet. You also need to communicate the rationale and benefits of giving them more autonomy, and how it aligns with the overall vision and strategy of the organization. By setting clear and realistic parameters, you can help your team understand their roles and responsibilities, and avoid confusion or conflict.

3 Provide coaching and support

Giving your team more autonomy does not mean abandoning them or micromanaging them. You still need to provide coaching and support to help them develop their skills, solve problems, and overcome challenges. You can use different methods such as mentoring, training, feedback, and recognition to empower your team and build their confidence and competence. You can also encourage them to collaborate and learn from each other, and create a safe and supportive environment where they can share their ideas, opinions, and concerns.

Everything starts with coaching. You can't expect the team to make decisions without giving them proper training before. Very important to have good communication with your team to make sure they feel support and confidence in coming up with questions to learn more and grow in their autonomy.

4 Monitor and evaluate performance

Another key aspect of giving your team more autonomy is monitoring and evaluating their performance. You need to establish clear and measurable indicators and criteria to track and assess their results and progress. You can use tools such as dashboards, reports, and reviews to collect and analyze data and feedback . You also need to involve your team in the evaluation process, and solicit their input and feedback. By monitoring and evaluating performance, you can identify strengths and weaknesses , celebrate successes, and address issues and gaps.

5 Adjust and improve

Finally, you need to adjust and improve your delegation approach based on the outcomes and feedback. You may need to modify the scope and boundaries of autonomy, provide more or less coaching and support, or change the way you monitor and evaluate performance. You also need to solicit feedback from your team on how they feel about their autonomy, and what challenges or opportunities they face. By adjusting and improving, you can ensure that your delegation approach is effective and responsive to the changing needs and situations of your team.

Giving more autonomy to your team often leads to great results. When the team feels your support and trust they feel better and do better.

En este caso mi ecomendación es adportar un estilo de Lidrazgo que siga un Modelo similar al propuesto por Hersey & Blanchard: Se maneja con un juego de abcisas y ordenadas. En horizontal expresamos el menor o mayor grado de apoyo motivo/emocional que precisa el Equipo En vertical marcamos su menor o mayor necesidad de soporte/formación Técnica Todo ello mide el Grado de Madurez del Equipo y su avence y nos va indicando según los distintos cuadrantes en qué momento podemos ir delegando, qué, a quién y qué elementos de control establecer paa que todo ello pueda conducirse y gestionarse

Toda equipe de vendas deve ter o escopo e a autonomia definidos para ganhar celeridade nas negocia??es. Devem também ser treinados com técnicas de negocia??o, para trabalhar dentro dos limites, sem "entregar o ouro" e nivelar por baixo. Com a autonomia e o treinamento adequado, o vendedor gera confian?a e tende a fechar os negócios com mais facilidade.
