Clueless

To set the story up here, I've been with two different companies and been the top rep on a staff of about 15 and top 3 on a staff of about 30. Over the course of both stops, I've been asked to help out and train new hires/struggling reps in discussing the sales process, tips, what in doing for success, etc. The problem is, when I get in these sessions I feel clueless and have no idea what to talk about or hit on. To be honest when I go into a conversation with a prospect I just do/ask what I feel is right given the situation and not stick to any sales process or guidelines or anything, so I feel useless and that I'm not helping the other reps I'm responsible for grow or get out of their funk. I know once you're seasoned you throw your own style and your own process into it, and what works for me won't work for others, and that's about the only advice I seem to ever have for them in these sessions. 

Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone in similar situations, how do you go about this and prepare?

I'm curious, why do you feel that what works for you won't work for others? 

I've been in somewhat similar situations, and basically I just gave them my cadences, scripts, messaging, and activity metrics. they seemed to turn it around a bit with that

That’s the thing, I don’t really have any materials or anything like that that I use consistently. I’ll go into a call like it’s a blank canvas, I have my agenda for it but I’m not religious to it, and if the call goes in a different direction I’ll pick the agenda up at different parts. I guess part of my training struggle is that I don’t know how to explain this to other reps in a way it makes sense to someone other than myself, and why my call plan is working.

Being natural and running your meeting as a conversation doesn't make you "less than." As long as you've done your research on the client beforehand and do have a goal you want to hit before you walk in the door, so what? That's the beauty of what we do. Roll with the vibes of what's in front of us and change as quickly as we need to.

Reps need to learn those skills. I think you're in your head too much.

Appreciate that Fox. Might be the case because I want to keep climbing the ladder and I have the numbers to back it up, I just feel like I’m missing the training/growth aspect of being able to make that jump.

You’re just a natural. But you problably do a lot of the stuff others need to be tought.
