Mid-Year Reset: How to Create a Growth Mindset for Your Sales Team

Congratulations! You’ve reached more than half of the year. As of now, you may have gone through your mid-year business sales performance, gathered your insights, and had some wins and some losses. Kudos to your hardworking sales team!

But now may also be the time you could be feeling stuck. What do I do moving forward? How do I move towards a plan? How do I keep my sales team motivated? Too many questions and not enough answers.?

Enter the Sales Growth Mindset.?

An approach to the sales process that could help lessen the questions and give you a continuous and consistent improvement in growing your business. A belief system that will inspire your sales team to have a forward thinking outlook, which leads to a sustained increase in sales success and better performance.?

Less hassle, less stress, and more impact.

Here are three top tips on how to foster a healthy, burnout-free Sales Growth Mindset among your team:?

1. Have some TLC: a Trusted Learning Culture?

Sometimes all you need is some TLC. Promote a forward-thinking positive mindset. When there are setbacks, solutions are encouraged rather than pointing fingers and placing blame. Come up with consistent and continuous learning within the team with workshops, training sessions, and updated resources on sales insights and sales trends. Encourage innovation and initiative in new sales practices.?

2. Set Clear, Actionable yet Challenging Goals

Growth won’t be achieved without a clear final direction and destination. Your team may keep on working towards getting that sale, but in the end, they may lose the drive to push for positive sales. A lingering question in their mind: What for? Strive to give them clear objectives, reward them for small milestones, and emphasize their contributions towards the bigger picture.?

3. Lead by Example

As the CEO, business owner, and thus #1 sales lead, your team looks to you for guidance and direction. It is best to practice and demonstrate your growth mindset as well. Take on challenges, calculated risks, and adaptability when learning from failures. Set the tone for your sales team and challenge the status quo.?

The growth mindset doesn’t happen in a day, month, or year. It is not just a theory or a concept, it is a transformational practice. It is an ongoing process. Be sure to evaluate your growth mindset techniques, check what is working or what is not and improve through resilience and continuous learning.?

Business is only 20% strategy, and the rest: 80% Mindset.

Once you and your sales team embody this belief system, your business could reach new heights and new success stories. This can help break walls and move you towards your business goals.?

What are you waiting for? Practice the sales growth mindset for the rest of this year and see how far it takes you, your team, and your business.?
