Sales Leadership Tips: Balancing Top Performers and Team Success

At some point, every sales team has experienced a “sales diva” 

You know the type: the top-performing rep who plays by their own rules. They cherry-pick leads, dodge meetings, ignore the CRM, and expect special treatment because of past wins. 

It starts small and it’s a slippery slope into a toxic preferential culture that can hurt the other sales reps performers.  

In this episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I reveal why “sales divas” quietly destroy team culture, stall long-term growth, and keep founders stuck in a cycle of dependency. More importantly, you’ll learn how to break the pattern before it sabotages your revenue.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ Why catering to one “star” rep kills motivation across your entire sales team
✔ The hidden dangers of relying on a single person for 80% of your revenue
✔ How to coach mediocre sales performers into confident top performers
✔ What to say when your sales diva refuses to collaborate or follow process
✔ The leadership shifts that build accountability, trust, and shared success

Your best salesperson should never feel like they’re holding your company hostage. 

If your team feels uneven, cutthroat, or overly dependent on one high performer, this episode will show you how to reset your sales culture, protect your revenue, and build a team that wins together.
