Larry Satterfield | The Power of Skip-Level Talks
Jan 28, 202500:09:04Tap to summarizeEver heard of a "skip level talk"? 🤔It's a powerful leadership technique where executives bypass the chain of command to connect directly with frontline employees.This means stepping out of your office to chat with IC's (Individual Contributors) who see everything on the field.It's not about micromanagement... but about staying in touch with the real pulse of your team's process on what is going very well and what can be improved, sometimes even immediately addressed.Why is this important?Because the view from the top isn't always clear, skip-level talks help leaders stay grounded and make informed decisions.If this is not a strategy you are using in your organization, I would highly recommend it. From the talent acquisition lens and from the feedback we get from talent in the market, this is a strategy that could provide a huge ROI.

Jan 6, 202500:08:50Tap to summarizeThe 30-60-90 Day Plan? Straight to the Trash.Let’s be real – no one actually uses that thing. You put one together for your final interview and straight to the trash it goesThe traditional 30-60-90 day plan is a waste. It’s filled with shallow milestones, checklist-ticking, and rushing through “stages” that don’t move the needle. Plus, the whole process takes way too long.So, what should a new sales leader focus on when they step into a company?I’m 100% aligned with Larry on how he views his entry as a CRO/Global Sales Leader/US Sales Leader.⚠️ Forget arbitrary timelines and pointless checklists.The best Sales Leaders I’ve worked with, recruited for, and strategized with, focus on these things:🟢 Who’s my top talent?🟢 Who are our best customers, and what do they really think of us?🟢 Who are our top vendors or partners, and how do they view us?🟢 Is our sales compensation driving the right behaviors?No predetermined plan here.This is about being strategic, not reactive. Your best sellers, customers, and Vendors/partners will tell you exactly what’s working – and what’s not.The real planning starts when you figure out what's broken and what’s actually working.
