But Do You Have an Ideal Rep Profile?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There are two sides to every sale. Each side must meet certain criteria if a deal is to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>On one side is the buyer. Of course, not all accounts are of equal value to your organization. And with limited hours in the day, sales reps must focus their time and energy on those that are most likely to convert. As such, most sales organizations have developed an ideal customer profile (ICP), which is a model of the key qualities that make an account a great fit for your company&#8217;s products or services. These qualities can include annual revenue, employee range, industry, customer base, organizational maturity, and geography, among a myriad of others. Sales and marketing then qualify accounts based on how they measure up to this ICP.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/twosides3.png\" alt=\"seller ideal rep profile\" width=\"800\" height=\"382\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the other side is the seller. There\u2019s no doubt there are certain skills and behaviors common to all successful sellers. However, few organizations take the time to define their ideal rep profile (IRP).<\/p>\n<p>What is an ideal rep profile \u2013 and why is it imperative to improving your organization\u2019s sales readiness strategy? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n<h2>What is an ideal rep profile?<\/h2>\n<p>In a perfect world, all of the reps on your team would be top performers. But that\u2019s not reality. Instead, most sales teams are composed of reps with a wide range of experience, strengths, and weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>So, what makes top performers stand out among the rest? Usually, there are a number of common competencies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comblog\/sales-metrics\/the-top-5-selling-skills-you-need-to-measure\/\">selling skills<\/a> top performers have. Those skills are correlated with success in the field.<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, an ideal rep profile (IRP) is a profile of a rep that\u2019s likely to succeed at a given organization. Much like an ICP includes characteristics that make the customer \u201cideal,\u201d an IRP defines the competencies and skills a rep must have to regularly close deals and meet (or even surpass) quota. For example, the best sellers use consistent messaging during role-plays \u2013 and they limit their use of filler words. Obviously, that\u2019s just a small sampling of the skills necessary for success.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s possible to document your IRP in a document or spreadsheet. However, here at Mindtickle, we\u2019ve recently released the Mindtickle Readiness Index, which allows you to record your IRP right in the Mindtickle platform so you can work toward closing knowledge gaps \u2013 and getting more reps ready to sell.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19393 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IdealRepProfile-1.png\" alt=\"mindtickle ideal rep profile \" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/521;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IdealRepProfile-1.png\" alt=\"mindtickle ideal rep profile \" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>Why do you need an ideal rep profile?<\/h2>\n<p>Sales leaders are busy, with a to-do list a mile long. As such, you\u2019ve got to focus on the projects and initiatives that have the highest payoff in terms of your ultimate goal: revenue growth. So, is it worth the time to create an IRP?<\/p>\n<p>In a word, yes. In fact, the IRP should be the North Star for your entire sales readiness program.<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, organizations use a spray and pray approach to sales readiness. They deliver the same generic training and coaching to all sellers \u2013 without much regard for each seller\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. And they hope sellers will retain the information \u2013 and apply it in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Creating an IRP helps ensure each seller is getting the education, content, and coaching they need to learn and are able to master the skills and competencies that are correlated with sales success. So, an IRP is the first step toward creating more peak performers and driving greater revenue growth for your organization.<\/p>\n<h2>How to start creating more ideal reps<\/h2>\n<p>Many sales organizations focus on delivering great onboarding and ongoing training programs to their go-to-market teams. And for good reason. The best sales training can improve the performance of an individual seller by 20%, on average.<\/p>\n<p>Today, most sales leaders accept the 80\/20 rule as inevitable and concede to the fact that the majority of revenue will always be driven by a small number of star sales reps.<\/p>\n<p>These leaders continue to use a one size fits all approach to sales readiness \u2014 where all reps check off the same boxes, regardless of their skills, experience, and competencies. The result? The same handful of great reps continue to hit (or surpass) their targets \u2013 while the majority of the others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. A more effective approach to readiness involves delivering content, training, and coaching based on your IRP \u2013 as well as the individual needs of your reps. With this approach, it\u2019s very much possible to develop and prepare every seller in your organization to win.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to start taking this approach:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Create your IRP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Creating an ideal rep profile is the first step toward a more effective readiness approach. This involves documenting the skills and competencies that are correlated with positive sales outcomes as learned from your best performers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Each organization is different \u2014 and therefore IRPs will vary from company to company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">We\u2019ve highlighted the competencies below that, in general, make for a great sales rep. As you build out the profile of an ideal rep at your organization, you may want to get more granular about specific knowledge areas that relate to your industry or product.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19487 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/selling-secrets-blog-2.png\" alt=\"ideal rep profile competencies and skills\" width=\"974\" height=\"604\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 974px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 974\/604;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/selling-secrets-blog-2.png\" alt=\"ideal rep profile competencies and skills\" width=\"974\" height=\"604\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Organizations can leverage the Mindtickle Readiness Index to record their ideal rep competencies and skills right within the platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Measure reps\u2019 skills against your IRP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Once you\u2019ve established your IRP (and recorded it into the Mindtickle Readiness Index), you must understand how your reps stack up against these benchmarks.

This will help you create more peak performers on your team by delivering education, content, and coaching based on each rep\u2019s individual needs. This could take many forms, including in-person training, microlearning, quizzes, role-plays, and one-on-one coaching, among others.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19495 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SalesReadinessPlatform_Build-Knowledge-e1631628406649.png\" alt=\"mindtickle sales enablement training\" width=\"1024\" height=\"266\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/266;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19495 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SalesReadinessPlatform_Build-Knowledge-e1631628406649.png\" alt=\"mindtickle sales enablement training\" width=\"1024\" height=\"266\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Measure progress and optimize accordingly\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It\u2019s key to determine whether training and coaching are moving reps closer in alignment with the IRP. To do this, sales leaders must continuously measure reps\u2019 skill development and in-field application. One important way to determine whether reps are applying the skills they\u2019ve learned when interacting with buyers is to leverage a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comcall-ai-conversation-intelligence-software\/\">conversation intelligence solution<\/a>. These tools make it easy to measure performance against the skills defined in the IRP. Then, sales managers can provide individualized coaching and training to improve problem areas standing in the way of winning deals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17436 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Blog-2-image-1-insights@2x.png\" alt=\"mindtickle call ai conversation intelligence\" width=\"300\" height=\"359\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/359;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindtickle.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Blog-2-image-1-insights@2x.png\" alt=\"mindtickle call ai conversation intelligence\" width=\"300\" height=\"359\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>Drive continuous sales excellence<\/h2>\n<p>Buyers have high expectations.
