Blindspots - We all Have them This week on the Catalyst Sale Podcast, we have a listener question from Ann in San Diego.  Ann asks - What is something you consistently find within organizations you work with? One of the most consistent things we see across all of the organizations we work with, are the blind spots they have created.  Many times these blindspots are a function of focus, attention, and passion.  The challenge with blindspots, everyone has them, they require help to identify, and they bring risk if not addressed.   Questions Addressed Can you provide an example? How can you avoid/overcome blind spots? How can consultants/coaches help with blindspots? How can we find out more about Catalyst Sale? Key Takeaways On a positive side the organizations it is clear, that the organizations we have worked with are committed to their customers. They have identified a need in the market and they are passionate about addressing the need. On the negative side - there are blindspots that many of these organizations "Can't" see. One of the biggest blindspots is missing the perspective of the customer. Be aware of the risks of being caught in your own echo chamber Lean on others, don't fail alone We assume outcomes, and fail to pay attention, many times this approach creates those blindspots. Ask your network for help. Do the work, take the perspective of your customer, work through the use cases. If you are in a room, and everyone is saying yes, find someone who can say "no" Everyone has blindspots - you are not unique. If you think you do not have blindspots - you may have some really big blindspots. Consider creating SWOT teams within your organizations to help you identify and overcome blind spots. Consultants can come in with an unbiased, beginners mind, perspective. A coach, a consultant, can draw attention to things that you may not be paying attention to. The coach/consultant is likely not tied to the political baggage that exists within the organization.
