Experts Identified Strategies to Boost Cultural Connectedness at the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS: Harnessing an organization’s sales culture can lead to improved sales performance, according to Gartner, Inc (NYSE: IT). Experts presented their findings during the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference, which took place here this week.
“Culture is often an afterthought for sales leaders – it’s something that just exists, but is off track or isn’t actively managed," said Shayne Jackson, Senior Director Analyst in the Gartner Sales Practice. “As a result, teams are often disconnected, leading to higher turnover and lower performance.”
“When leaders actively channel sales culture it can be an incredibly powerful tool,” continued Jackson. “To leverage culture as a driver of performance and retention, sales leaders must understand the culture that exists today, evaluate if it is meeting seller needs, confirm it aligns with leadership’s values, and then make adjustments to drive specific types of growth.”
In a survey of over 200 senior sales leaders conducted from November through December 2023, Gartner identified six cultural attributes that motivate sales performance.
Attributes such as transparency, links to 2.9x greater likelihood of increased profit growth. Similarly, by prioritizing seller empowerment as a key pillar of sales culture, organizations are 2.8x more likely to see improved commercial performance. In addition, cultures that focus on psychological safety, where sellers are permitted to “fail safely,” are 2.7x more likely to see improved customer acquisition.
Key Sales Culture Attributes CSOs Should Evaluate:
“CSOs must take control of their sales culture by assessing the culture as it stands, designing the necessary culture adjustment and then transforming the culture to boost performance and achieve their organization’s goals. To implement changes, enlisting support of frontline managers is key, as well as making changes to systems and processes that conflict or obstruct the new culture improvements,” said Jackson.
