The challenge that social media brings to a sales leader’s coaching strategies inspired my Forbes article, Is social media impacting the business results of your Millennials? In the article, I cover how to coach your Millennial to fight the Need for Approval and deal with Rejection. In addition, building their Comfort in Talking about Money will help solve business frustrations such as:

  • Why isn’t our sales cycle shorter?
  • Are we selling consultative?

In a recent Forbes article, I noted the importance of strong character as a business and sales advantage. How can you ensure you hire sales people with strong moral fiber?
