Your Sales Team Isn’t the Problem. Your Leadership Is.
Your Sales Team Isn’t the Problem. Your Leadership Is - and in this episode, Drew Norton breaks down why almost every stalled business comes back to the person at the top.
Join The Business Game, A Podcast That Moves The Needle as we sit down with business coach and co-founder of The Everyday Leader, Drew Naughton.
From leading yourself before you lead anyone else, to fixing broken sales teams and toxic dopamine loops, Drew breaks down why almost every growth problem can be traced back to leadership or systems – and what to actually do about it. If you’ve ever blamed “the market” or “there are no good people out there”, this conversation will hit uncomfortably close to home in the best possible way.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
* Why every stalled business usually has one of two root issues: leadership or systems (and how to tell which one you’re really facing).
* The 3 A’s of leadership Drew uses in high-pressure moments – Acknowledge, Ask, and Agreements – to calm chaos and move teams forward.
* How to build and keep a high-performing sales team, from hiring and culture to training and real accountability (beyond “just sell more”).
* The dark side of dopamine for founders and sales leaders – and how Drew rewired his habits, health, and family life after chasing targets nearly broke him.
* What “leadership creates freedom” actually means, and why your people should feel less anxious – not more – when you walk into the room.
