Description

This episode of the Live Better Seller Better Podcast features Megan Suckling, Director for Global Sales Development at Shutterstock. Leading a global team means structured onboarding is less effective than a customized approach that really gets to know the learning styles of the different members of the team. A one-size-fits-all approach disregards individual talents that could be used in the sales role and Shutterstock's onboarding program focuses on these personal traits as strengths rather than weaknesses. They have a strong focus on job shadowing that gives new sales reps a safe space to learn, ask questions, and fail while still learning about their sales role.  HIGHLIGHTSOnboarding: Best done tailored and more about knowing the sales repPillars of Shutterstock's onboarding program Remote onboarding tactics and measuring successWorking towards the 4-day work weekQUOTESMeagan: "It's really just about getting to know the person on the other side of the table from you and really understanding what they stand for, where they come from, how they like to learn, what's the most important thing for them."Meagan: "One of the things we really lost in moving in this virtual environment was job shadowing, which I know is something that a lot of managers really rely on doing... you really do learn so much from that and through asking questions."Meagan: "They need to have a really strong, compelling reason why they want to be in sales. That's a really, really important one that we never look over. I don't hire people onto my team who are unsure about whether or not they want to pursue a career in sales."You can find out more about Megan in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meagansuckling/SDR Nation Website: https://sdrnation.com/
