1 Identify the root causes

The first step to prevent sales conflicts is to understand what triggers them. You can use various tools and methods to analyze the sources of friction and tension in your sales team, such as surveys, interviews, feedback sessions, or conflict style assessments. By identifying the root causes, you can address them proactively and constructively, rather than reactively and defensively.

Sales conflicts are a clear indication that the team is not segregated based on skills and performance. The first thing to do is to set up the team based on skills, performance and experience and compensation prior commission for individuals to be set accordingly. Clear goal setting and future growth road map is missing in many organisations. All individuals are not the same. Individuals with high skills may have a low will and vice versa. Hence, regular mentoring and training is needed.

In my opinion, to address the root of the sales issue, we need to take a philosophical view. This means that we should examine the values and principles from three perspectives: 1) the organization (sales team), 2) the product and service we offer, and 3) the customer. By doing so, we can gain a better understanding of the contradictions and find a solution that is in line with our values and principles

2 Establish clear expectations

One of the common causes of sales conflicts is the lack of clarity and alignment on the goals, roles, and responsibilities of each salesperson and the team as a whole. As a sales coach, you can prevent this by setting and communicating clear expectations for each salesperson, such as their quota, territory, account plan, pipeline, and performance metrics. You can also clarify how each salesperson contributes to the team's objectives and how they should collaborate and coordinate with their peers.

3 Provide constructive feedback

Another way to prevent sales conflicts is to provide regular and constructive feedback to your sales team. Feedback is essential for improving their skills, behaviors, and results, as well as for reinforcing positive actions and correcting negative ones. As a sales coach, you can use various feedback techniques, such as the SBI model (Situation, Behavior, Impact), the COIN model (Context, Observation, Impact, Next steps), or the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Way forward), to deliver feedback that is specific, objective, and actionable.

Prevenir conflictos de ventas y mejorar la productividad implica proporcionar comentarios constructivos al equipo. Por ejemplo, utilizar el modelo SBI para abordar situaciones específicas, destacar comportamientos y discutir su impacto. Alternativamente, el modelo COIN, al considerar el contexto, la observación y el impacto, proporciona una estructura detallada para la retroalimentación. El modelo GROW, centrado en objetivos, realidad, opciones y camino a seguir, es útil para guiar el desarrollo individual. Ejemplos prácticos podrían incluir reconocer la efectividad de una presentación de ventas específica y sugerir mejoras en la gestión del tiempo.

Communication is the key to preventing and resolving sales conflicts.

You can also teach your sales team how to communicate effectively with each other and with their customers, using various skills, such as active listening, empathy, assertiveness, and persuasion. You can also use various tools, such as CRM systems, chat apps, or video conferencing, to facilitate communication and collaboration among your sales team.

5 Mediate conflicts when necessary

Despite your best efforts, sales conflicts may still occur from time to time. When they do, you need to intervene and mediate them as soon as possible, before they escalate and damage the relationships and results of your sales team. As a sales coach, you can use various mediation techniques, such as the LEADR model (Listen, Explore, Acknowledge, Develop, Record), the CEDR model (Clarify, Explore, Develop, Record), or the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, to help your sales team resolve their conflicts in a constructive and respectful way.

By analyzing and learning from the mistakes and challenges of your sales team, you can help them improve their performance, skills, and resilience. You can also use various methods, such as debriefs, reviews, or retrospectives, to facilitate the learning and improvement process of your sales team.
