Most reps think becoming a manager is the next natural step.


But the transition from top-performing seller to effective sales leader?


It’s harder than it looks.


In this episode of Sell Like You, I’m joined by Bryce Antoine, a relationship-first AE turned high-performing sales leader at one of Australia’s fastest-growing companies.


We break down the 4 toughest challenges new sales managers face — and how to overcome them with empathy, strategy, and real leadership.


Inside this episode:

  1. The ego hit no one warns you about

  2. Why social selling is rising — but cold calling still matters

  3. How to manage a multigenerational team without burning out

  4. The JOLT Effect and how to handle indecision in your pipeline

  5. What founders and new leaders really need to hear about building a team


This one’s packed with actionable insights, honest stories, and a fresh take on what it actually takes to lead (especially if you're stepping up for the first time).
