  <itunes:subtitle>This week's guest is Jeff Spencer, Sr. Director of Sales Operations and Marketing at Waste Management.  Jeff is the architect of one of the most sophisticated sales organizations in the world. Jeff's team of over 3,000 salespeople has impressive results and ridiculously low turnover. Much of the loyalty that a rep has for a company comes from what the coaching process is like, and at Waste Management, Jeff has brought consistency and discipline to the coaching process.  He has three traits that have led to his success: 1—The ability to be decisive, 2—He's not afraid of change, and 3—He takes ownership of the change mindset. Under his direction, coaching is not just for underperformers.  Jeff believes in the power of self-correction and shared vision to ensure the success of every rep and his results speak for themselves.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>Commercial Banking is a complex B2B sales motion.   Like any complex sales team, these bankers have turned to process and technology to create better customer experiences and to create measurable value.  One of the complexities comes in the sheer number of products these bankers have to offer their clients.  Jake Heugly of Zions Bancorporation leads one of the most successful fee income teams in the United States.  They are growing at an industry-beating rate and are averaging 15 products per customer…double the industry average…without having product-related goals.  In this insightful episode, Jake shares how his team uses process in a unique way to create experiences their customers aren’t used to having and how this not only creates successful customer relationships, the process creates powerful coaching opportunities that inspire and engage the members of his teams. </itunes:subtitle>
