Brace yourselves, folks. Last week's survey results just hit us with a truth bomb:

- A whopping 60% of you said most sales leaders you know got the job because of their sales skills
- Only 19% said these leaders were picked for their leadership chops

Let that sink in for a moment. It's downright troubling. 

Here's the deal: being a sales superstar is great, but it's just the tip of the iceberg for leading a sales team. It takes a whole lot more than knowing how to close a deal to guide a team to victory.

What's Really Missing

We're talking about make-or-break leadership skills like:
- The knack for spotting, growing, and keeping top talent
- The vision to see the big picture and plan for the long haul
- The ability to turn big ideas into real, actionable steps that get results

What else would you add?

If you're not looking for these crucial skills, you're not just missing the target – you're shooting yourself in the foot. 

The fallout? Sales teams that struggle to perform and a whole lot of money left on the table. Ouch. 

Time to Shake Things Up
It's time to stop settling for great sellers who fumble as leaders. Start hunting for true sales visionaries who can light a fire under your team and send your results through the roof.
