Put simply: \u2018two heads are better than one\u2019. Intervision techniques therefore help you harness every member of a team\u2019s own thoughts and ideas to promote group intelligence \u2013 investing in each member and increasing the potential of overcoming one salesperson\u2019s specific challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intervision<\/strong> techniques call on collective intelligence<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nIntervision<\/a>, also known as \u2018group coaching\u2019, \u2018peer coaching\u2019 or \u2018co-development\u2019, refers to an activity with a small group of professionals who have a professional context in common. It emphasizes the multilateral contribution between colleagues \u2013 as opposed to supervision \u2013 because collective intelligence is a kind of wisdom and knowledge that grows out of a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe intervision technique provides sales managers with a different way to interact with their team and team members. Similar to group coaching, it relies on questioning and active listening, but also employs brainstorming techniques and makes it possible to tackle both technical and conceptual problems. The main difference, however, is that intervision covers topics that will benefit the entire sales team and make it more effective, whereas individual coaching aims to solve a problem specific to the salesperson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What sales problems can <\/strong>intervision<\/strong> techniques help to resolve?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nTeam meetings are too often laborious and ineffective, and this is where collective intelligence can help. Intervision techniques relate to sales team coaching<\/a>. They develop sales efficiency, strengthen team spirit, and increase corporate identity. They can be used to generate new ideas, discover new ways to analyze situations, and find new possible solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are a couple of conditions for its effective use, however: the presented case must be real, and it must relate to a real blocked sales opportunity, for example in a situation where a salesperson experiences repetitive failure or a persistent communication issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exposed situation very often reveals a common problem \u2013 something that sounds familiar to all salespeople, which they might have been exposed to in the past or are still facing today. This is why the intervision session can benefit the whole team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to moderate an <\/strong>intervision<\/strong> session<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe session can be done with or without a facilitator, but it\u2019s always crucial to stick to the allocated time for the exercise to be effective and stop the group from dwelling on details. It is recommended to spend 45-90 minutes on each issue as a group, depending on the group size and complexity of the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- During an intervision session, a<\/strong> participant raises one issue<\/strong>, which could be a new challenge or a problem that they have encountered. It\u2019s essential that it\u2019s an ongoing issue. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The other participants then act as consultants and commit to share ideas, collaborate, and help the salesperson who wants to overcome a difficult situation. Group members ask questions<\/strong> to find out more about the topic and clarify particular points. It\u2019s important not to start discussing solutions at this stage, but simply to focus on clarifying the issue. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The next stage is for the group to start brainstorming possible ways of approaching the problem<\/strong> and suggesting possible solutions. The issue owner is invited to listen and to take in the proposals without joining the discussion. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Following the brainstorming session, the group makes a number of recommendations and suggestions<\/strong> to the issue owner, who can then provide feedback on what he\/she has heard from the group: how it helps or not, what they can take away from the exercise, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Selling in uncertain times<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis technique is particularly relevant in today\u2019s market \u2013 with fierce competition and rapid change. Sales organizations need collective intelligence to be more agile and adaptive without burning talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
