Dive into the essentials of managing remote teams in this engaging episode. We begin by redefining success, emphasizing results over time spent, and focusing on sales rather than call counts and hours. Next, we outline clear expectations for remote work: a professional workspace, arrangements for distractions during client meetings, and maintaining availability during business hours. Our discussion then shifts to building team connections in a virtual environment through regular meetings, encouraging phone or video calls over text-based communication, and hosting virtual social events like book clubs or movie nights. Additionally, we explore the impact of thoughtful gifts, such as quality company swag, to strengthen team bonds. Lastly, we stress the importance of trust in remote teams, including hiring the right people, trusting established metrics, and making tough personnel decisions when necessary. Tune in for actionable insights on fostering a productive and connected remote workforce.
