Führungsfehler im Vertrieb: Diese 5 Fehler ruinieren dein Team – und so vermeidest du sie   Führungsfehler im Vertrieb sind oft die unsichtbare Bremse für dein Sales-Team. Du kannst Top-Verkäufer eingestellt haben – wenn du sie falsch führst, bleibt der Erfolg aus. In dieser VertriebsFunk-Episode spreche ich mit Rouven Kramer über fünf entscheidende Fehler in der Führung von Vertriebsteams – und wie du sie garantiert vermeiden kannst.   Rouven ist Teamleiter bei einem internationalen SaaS-Unternehmen mit einem großen EMEA-ADR-Team. Gemeinsam analysieren wir, wie moderne Vertriebsführung heute funktioniert – und welche klassischen Führungsfehler im Vertrieb dich Performance, Motivation und Top-Talente kosten.   Ein klassischer Führungsfehler im Vertrieb: fehlende oder ständig wechselnde Zielmetriken. Verkäufer brauchen Klarheit – sonst verlieren sie den Fokus. Ein zweiter Fehler: falsche Incentives. Wer nur die Anzahl der Termine bewertet, demotiviert auf Dauer. Rouven zeigt, wie qualitative Zielsysteme aussehen können – inklusive Motivation durch faire Vergütung.   Ein weiterer fataler Fehler: Vertriebsleiter, die selbst verkaufen. Wenn du als Führungskraft eigene Quoten erfüllst, kannst du dein Team nicht wirklich führen. Coaching, 1:1-Meetings und persönliche Entwicklung bleiben auf der Strecke. Rouven erklärt, wie er jede Woche Coaching- und Forecast-Gespräche sauber trennt – für maximale Wirkung.   Auch beliebt, aber gefährlich: Monkey-Management. Du löst alle Probleme selbst – dein Team bleibt passiv. Moderne Führung bedeutet, Blocker zu entfernen und Verantwortung sinnvoll zu übertragen. Rouven zeigt, wie du dein Team befähigst, selbst zu denken und zu handeln – mit spürbarer Entlastung für dich und echtem Ownership im Team.   Wenn du diese fünf Führungsfehler im Vertrieb vermeiden willst, ist diese Episode für dich ein Muss. Egal ob du schon Führungskraft bist oder bald eine wirst – hier bekommst du konkrete Beispiele, Insights und Sofort-Tipps für moderne Vertriebsführung.

In episode 207, Coffey talks with Nicole Morgan about what HR professionals need to know about Medicare to help employees navigate the transition from employer-provided health insurance to Medicare coverage. They discuss the four main parts of Medicare (A, B, C, and D) and how they work together; the differences between Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) and traditional Medicare with supplemental coverage; how creditable coverage determinations affect employees who continue working past age 65; the coordination of benefits between employer group health plans and Medicare based on company size; timing considerations for Medicare enrollment and the importance of planning three months before turning 65; why brokers may have financial incentives to sell Medicare Advantage plans over traditional Medicare; the risks and benefits of different Medicare options including network limitations and out-of-pocket maximums; and the role HR should play in connecting employees with qualified Medicare experts rather than providing specific coverage advice. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

Libby is the founder of The Efficient Advisor, a coaching and consulting business based in Loveland, Ohio, that helps financial advisors build systems to run their firms with less stress and more efficiency. Listen in as Libby shares how she breaks down onboarding into three 30-day phases, how her firm tracked client “intel” for meaningful personalization, and what she believes is the key to client loyalty and long-term growth.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with George Mogannam, CRO of Celigo, to explore the foundational gaps that hinder scalable growth—particularly in recruiting, onboarding, and team cohesion. George unpacks what most companies miss when trying to scale, including the absence of ideal hiring profiles, lack of onboarding discipline, and broken internal processes. He also emphasizes the power of in-person connection, the hidden cost of remote culture, and the importance of aligning internal teams during growth surges.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] Common Gaps in Scaling Sales Teams: Many organizations lack ideal hiring profiles, onboarding processes, KPIs, and operational rhythms.[00:01:40] Remote Work's Cultural Void: Remote work has eroded the informal peer-to-peer learning and camaraderie critical to high-performing sales teams.[00:02:37] Why In-Person Teams Outperform: George shares research that shows 4x higher churn in remote teams versus co-located ones—highlighting the need for centralized sales orgs.[00:03:37] The True ROI of Sales Kickoffs: More than training, it's the peer interaction, story-sharing, and cross-learning that drive culture and performance.[00:04:30] The Overlooked Bottleneck in Scaling: Many CROs underestimate internal readiness for hiring sprees, especially around slow offer letter processes and internal misalignment.[00:06:59] Fixing Internal Bottlenecks: George details how his team automated contract counter-signatures to reduce booking delays and avoid customer disruptions.QUOTES[00:01:14] “There's a sales process, but no one's really utilizing it… there's no discipline around it.”[00:02:01] “You will get four times higher churn when everybody's remote versus when people are together.”[00:03:37] “The priceless part comes from them all engaging together... more powerful than all the formal training.”[00:04:59] “Companies don't realize they're a walking audition for what it's going to be like to work for them.”[00:06:41] “That's how you burn cash in an organization—when internal readiness doesn't match external hiring urgency.”[00:07:27] “If the order isn't executed at the proper time, we can accidentally shut the customer off.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/scaling-high-growth-sales-organizations-with-george-mogannamEnjoying the podcast?

One of the final steps in the hiring process that can cause a lot of stress and anxiety is the pre-employment background check which is why I am thrilled to be bringing you this conversation with Kristy Wheeler-Scott, an HR professional with over 8 years of experience, to get the inside scoop on what to expect! Kristy explains that background checks are a very important part of the hiring process, allowing employers to verify qualifications, minimize risk, and ensure cultural fit. While the specific details can vary by industry and organization, most background checks cover criminal records, employment history, education, and sometimes even credit checks. The key, Kristy shares, is to be proactive and get yourself organized ahead of time. Have your resume handy and double-check the dates and details rather than relying solely on your memory. Gather supporting documents such as offer letters, pay stubs, and W-2s so you can quickly provide verification if needed, and be sure to accurately represent your education and any certifications or credentials, without exaggerating. We chat about the importance of having the right attitude. This background check process is essentially your "first assignment,” an opportunity to demonstrate your professionalism and responsiveness, so stay transparent, authentic, and timely in your communications. Rushing through the forms or getting defensive will only create more delays and headaches. This can all feel very daunting, but Kristy's insights are so invaluable. With the right preparation and mindset, you can set yourself up for a smooth background check experience, and, of course, always remember, the team here at ROCS is always here to support you through this transition, so feel free to reach out anytime if you have additional questions! Key Takeaways:  Background checks are common in the hiring process to verify qualifications, employment history, and education and to minimize risks. Prepare by gathering supporting documentation such as offer letters, pay stubs, and W-2s. Strive for accuracy by referencing your resume and not just relying on memory. Candidates should be honest about education credentials, indicating if a degree was not completed. Maintain a professional, responsive, and transparent attitude throughout the background check process. Read instructions carefully and reach out with any questions to ensure a smooth process.   Thanks again for listening to Leaving The Nest! To find your next job, visit us at ROCS Grad Staffing.

In episode 206, Coffey talks with Jill Koob about the Supreme Court decision on “reverse discrimination,” PTO policy trends, and AI adoption in the workplace. They discuss the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services eliminating different standards for "reverse discrimination" cases; how Title VII protects all individuals equally regardless of majority or minority status within protected classes; the challenges and failures of unlimited PTO policies leading employees to take less time off; new flexible PTO approaches allowing conversion to cash, student loan payments, or 401k contributions; mitigating bias in the employee selection process; why diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives should focus on business outcomes and widening candidate pools; the evolution of AI from individual productivity tools to organizational workforce transformation; the need for employees to actively learn and adopt AI tools to remain competitive; and how AI can handle transactional HR tasks while freeing professionals to focus on more strategic human-centered work. Links to stuff they talked about are on our website at https://goodmorninghr.com/EP206 and include the following topics: Breaking—Supreme Court Unanimously Lowers Bar for “Reverse Discrimination” Claims: Ames v.

In episode 204, Coffey talks with Rosalind Chow about the distinct roles of mentorship and sponsorship in advancing careers and building more inclusive workplaces. They discuss the distinction between mentorship (which helps grow the mentee) and sponsorship (which seeks to change how others see the protege); how sponsorship functions like marketing or PR campaigns for high-potential employees; the four types of sponsorship - creating, confirming, preventing, and protecting; why sponsors risk their own credibility and reputation when advocating for others; how sponsorship doesn't require formal hierarchical relationships but depends on trust and status; how to become more "sponsorable" by being a top performer with clear values and compelling personal story; the risks of having the wrong sponsor or appearing as the "teacher's pet"; and how sponsorship creates inclusion by ensuring high performers are seen, valued, and given opportunities regardless of their background or circumstances. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

While mentorship can change mentees for the better through valuable coaching and encouragement, sponsorship takes it one step further — sponsors can change the social environment around their proteges by actively advocating for, raising the social visibility of, and protecting them. Put simply, while mentors act on mentees, sponsors act on external observers – audiences - to change how they see proteges.  We don't just have the ability to change other people; we also have the ability to change other people's relationships with one another. This ability - the power we have as sponsors - is something we can leverage to better ourselves, other people, and our communities. Rosalind Chow can be reached athttp://www.rosalindchow.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalind-chow-6b25541b0/  About Mike Coffey: Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher.In 1999, he founded Imperative, a background investigations and due diligence firm helping risk-averse clients make well-informed decisions about the people they involve in their business.Imperative delivers in-depth employment background investigations, know-your-customer and anti-money laundering compliance, and due diligence investigations to more than 300 risk-averse corporate clients across the US, and, through its PFC Caregiver & Household Screening brand, many more private estates, family offices, and personal service agencies.Imperative has been named a Best Places to Work, the Texas Association of Business' small business of the year, and is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association. Mike shares his insight from 25+ years of HR-entrepreneurship on the Good Morning, HR podcast, where each week he talks to business leaders about bringing people together to create value for customers, shareholders, and community.Mike has been recognized as an Entrepreneur of Excellence by FW, Inc. and has twice been recognized as the North Texas HR Professional of the Year. Mike serves as a board member of a number of organizations, including the Texas State Council, where he serves Texas' 31 SHRM chapters as State Director-Elect; Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County; the Texas Association of Business; and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, where he is chair of the Talent Committee.Mike is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) through the HR Certification Institute and a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).
