Emotional Intelligence For Sales Management Success

Sales organizations are under more pressure, change and competition than ever before. The pandemic upended how sales teams went to market, where they worked, and how they worked.

And more changes are on the horizon.

This business environment requires strong sales leadership.

This business environment requires emotionally intelligent sales leadership because emotionally intelligent sales cultures are resilient cultures. They win business regardless of external circumstances.  

Key Learning Objectives

  • Create sales cultures that embrace feedback. Eliminate defensive behaviors during coaching sessions. Develop sales teams that fail fast, fail well and immediately apply valuable lessons learned.
  • Increase the speed by which your sales team adapts and flexes to change. Avoid the curse of comfort zones and good enough zones.  
  • Improve your sales team's ability to demonstrate the powerful influence skill of empathy.
  • Emotionally connect with prospects and customers and accelerate trust and sales results.
  • Build your sales teams resiliency muscles. Stop being paralyzed by setbacks and adversity.

Be The Mentor Who Mattered 

“You’re going to be just fine. You were a good salesperson—just teach your reps what you know.”

Those five words changed everything. It wasn’t long, planned, or formal. It was a mentor moment.

In this powerful keynote, speaker and author Colleen Stanley reminds audiences that mentorship isn’t just a formal program, it’s a mindset.

And today, that mindset is needed more than ever.

We’re living in what Colleen calls the Perfect Storm—three cultural weather fronts colliding at once. A breakdown of community, where people feel more isolated than ever. The unintended consequences of technology and social media, and the unrelenting pace of change, leaving people feeling like they’re living in “whack-a-mole land.”

Audience will walk away with:

  • A redefined understanding of mentorship as everyday influence, not just a formal role.
  • Tools to build connection, community and engagement inside organizations. 
  • A shift from self-absorption to other-absorption, discovering the best way to grow yourself is to help someone else grow.

Colleen challenges audiences to look up and around. Because someone near you—a 14-year-old, a struggling teammate, a first-generation college student, a neighbor—needs what only you can give: your belief, your wisdom, your time. No one has to go it alone.

"We had Colleen speak at our Client Appreciation Event and it was a hit. Clients were inspired---and moved to action---by her message to be the mentor who mattered. Great topic and speaker.”
