Salespeople are complex, and good leaders need to understand what truly drives their team members beyond just their compensation.Encourage discipline and efficiency to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Overworking should not be glorified; find ways to help your team manage their time effectively.Tailor your coaching approach to the individual needs of each team member. Every person is different; understanding their unique triggers and motivational factors will help you coach them more effectively.Hire and build teams with a diversity of thought. Different perspectives can lead to innovative solutions and a more dynamic team environment.Teach and practice strong time-management skills. Block off dedicated time for key activities like prospecting to maintain a steady pipeline and avoid the rollercoaster effect in performance.Develop and refine processes that support your team but allow their creativity to shine with customers. A good process should eliminate internal inefficiencies.Teach your team to look at the bigger picture in their deals and accounts. Hitting short-term targets is important, but building sustainable long-term relationships with clients is essential.Quote of the Show:“Not everybody works like you, otherwise they would be in your role.” - Derek BatesLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-bates-a14a7720/ Website: https://www.alteryx.com/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals and loyal customers.

I welcome Asa Whillock, the Vice President and General Manager of Machine Learning at Alteryx, to delve into the transformative world of generative AI and its real-world impact on businesses. Asa, an acclaimed AI and machine learning expert, brings to light the critical gap between the anticipated benefits of generative AI and its practical implications in the business environment. Our discussion pivots around a compelling revelation: that the success of AI in businesses is not merely about its implementation but hinges on individuals' ability to utilize and trust AI technologies. Asa argues that without a profound understanding and confidence in how AI operates, businesses are unlikely to reap the expected benefits. This issue is underscored by Alteryx's recent AI Pulse survey, which reveals a surprising statistic: although 40% of businesses have adopted AI, a majority still rank their AI maturity at the preliminary stages of exploration or experimentation. Throughout our conversation, Asa shares insights on the current state of AI in businesses, highlighting the trend of AI adoption driven more by a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) rather than strategic business intelligence. We examine the intriguing findings from Alteryx's research, noting that only 18% of businesses classify their AI maturity as 'optimizing' or 'innovating'. This episode is a treasure trove for those interested in the intersection of AI and business efficiency. We discuss how organizations can effectively implement and govern AI, ensuring that it aligns with their business strategies and ethical standards. Key topics include the challenges of AI adoption, the misconceptions surrounding AI's impact on employment, and the importance of regulatory compliance and ethical governance in building trust in AI systems. Asa also sheds light on the future trends in AI for 2024, emphasizing a shift from hype to practical value and ROI of AI investments. We explore how breaking down data silos can enable more insightful cross-functional analysis, potentially revolutionizing decision-making in businesses. Join me in this compelling dialogue with Asa Whillock as we unravel the complexities of AI in the business world, offering insights that are both thought-provoking and actionable.
