What are the best ways to turn around a struggling sales team?
- Figure out your KPIs. - Create a dashboard for all to see that centers around these KPIs. - Discuss said dashboard at your weekly sales meetings. I like to ask 1. What do you all see that you’re really proud of? 2. What as a team should we all be focused on for the next 7 days to really move the needle. - Have weekly 1to1s a with your team. 1. Talk life. 2. Ask them what they need to be working on. Help guide them to that answer. 3. Ask them if they can do that “thing” for you that they just came up with. 4. Then ask them what’s one thing you can do for them. - Inspect what you expect. - Have fun! - Celebrate the wins. - Learn from the failures. - Do it all with an attitude of getting 1% better each day.

America’s Best Online Lenders
Newsweek
Newsweek and LendingTree are proud to announce our ranking of America's Best Online Lenders 2024. LendingTree analyzed lenders who offered loans on their platform in the first half of 2023 across home, auto and personal loans from subprime to super-prime borrowers. The ranking compares the rates across three credit ranges, reviews from customers, closed applications and the availability of loans. (After all, a great rate doesn't matter if the lender doesn't lend.) The number of winners in each…
