How satisfied are you with the performance of the Millennial sales leaders on your team? The fake news about Millennials is brutal. It paints all of them, yes, all 83 million, as narcissistic, entitled, lazy, self-absorbed, and disloyal….and the list expands on a daily basis. But, is it true? Check out this article: How To Manage Millennials salespeople from failing to make the sales?

No – as experienced sales leaders, we understand that each salesperson comes to the team with a unique Sales DNA.

Yet, many sales leaders are concerned about the Millennials on their teams and in their businesses. We hear about it every day. There are growth target to meet, but –

the pipeline is weak,
closings are delayed,
excuse-making is rampant, and
deals are lost to competitive pressure.

It seems that millennial salespeople lack the necessary determination and skills to succeed and drive sales results.

We conducted a survey of more than 300 business leaders about their working experience with Millennials. Of these leaders, 60% voiced frustrations with leading and managing Millennials. They asked for help in tapping the potential of this generation of salespeople and leaders. One business owner said, “I’m tired of complaining about the Millennials on my team. I need some strategies to coach improved performance. Help!”
