What inspires you to be the best sales representative in your company? Is it to take a vacation to Hawaii?
Is it to earn enough to buy your significant other a horse? Or maybe you just want to have money and live comfortably.
Despite naming off different common wants most people want in their lives, many salespeople don’t know what they really want. So, how do you dig deeper into your wants and discover your real desires?
In this episode of the TSE podcast, host Donald Kelly speaks with Travis Ashby, a seasoned sales professional, on the deeper desires of salespeople beyond monetary incentives. Travis shares his journey of finding his purpose and how it led him to create a platform that helps sales leaders understand and support their team's goals and ambitions.
The Changing Landscape of Sales Incentives
Going Beyond Transactional Motivation
Helping Sales Reps Discover their True Desires
The Power of Public Goals and Accountability
The Value of "Sacred Money"
Fostering a Culture of Care
Travis concludes the episode by highlighting the need for trust between companies and employees. He introduces "WorkLyfe," a platform that acts as a third-party intermediary, fostering trust and privacy while facilitating the alignment of personal and company goals. By encouraging a communal approach to supporting individual goals, WorkLyfe aims to revolutionize sales leadership and create happier, more fulfilled sales teams.
“When I ask someone that question, or when a manager asks reps that question, I'd say 70% of the time, the reps have no idea. I don't know. And so they need help figuring that out.” - Travis Ashby.
