Jeb Blount’s book, Fanatical Prospecting , is the other book end to Mark Hunter’s book “High Profit Prospecting.” Blount is rather blunt (pardon the pun) about sales prospecting.

Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

Partners in Excellence

There’s a lot of “wisdom” around phrases like “Get into your (comfort) zone… ” Presumably, it’s about getting into a good routine, building a rhythm or cadence, replicating what you’ve done to be successful. We hear and read variations of this all the time. Advice that’s well intended but perhaps the most dangerous advice we could follow.

Cincom Smart Selling

Several weeks ago in a blog, I asked who was responsible for order prevention in your organization. This week, I want to talk about the other side of that issue. Who is promoting sales enablement? The fact is, sales enablement is not located exclusively within one group or managed under one silo. Sales enablement is cross-functional in nature, and it spans Sales, Marketing, Engineering/Product Management, Operations, Finance and just about every department within your organization.
