At the end of your next 1:1 with your manager, ask her/him for their opinions on the weekly group sales meeting. Keep it simple…”How satisfied are you with our weekly group sales meetings?”

Hear your manager’s answer before offering, “Personally, the meetings would benefit me a lot if we spent more time on strategic selling issues, common objections, and tricky selling scenarios.”

If there’s an opening, you might want to help your manager by suggesting that the meetings are not the best time and place for individual pipeline reviews.

Your manager needs you to speak up.

If you don’t share what you are thinking to make things better for you and those on your team, then you’re cheating yourself.

However, there is such a thing as a dumb idea.

So before you open your mouth, make sure your ideas are not as dumb as what you’ll see in this Short.
