The formula for business success combines great strategy and effective strategy execution. VP’s of Sales and Marketing and Business Unit Heads can relate to this. They are the people in commercial organizations responsible for both strategy development and sales execution. When business units fail to achieve their objectives, they usually do not have a strategy execution process resulting in poor execution.

A dramatic shift has occurred in the B2B landscape. Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge. For SaaS companies relying on traditional sales strategies to grow revenue, these trends will only become worse, as they now falter in the face of modern purchasing paradigms.

By Tibor Shanto. Despite advancements in tools, methodologies, and other attempts, sales as a profession continues to struggle. Quota attainment remains under 60%, closed forecasted deals aren’t much better. One has to ask what is being enabled by the new breed of soothsayers. A structured and enabled mess is still a mess. As with most things it is rarely about the what and the how, success is always about understanding why.

I found it challenging to write this article. The company that provides us with cyber-insurance required that our entire team watch a series of 21 training videos to make us more aware of how hackers operate, how easy it is to be hacked, and what we must do differently in order to protect our data, privacy and accounts. Imagine my surprise when the first video described hacking operations as businesses with outbound prospecting operations whose goal is to convert their emails, texts and calls in

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

By Tibor Shanto. Some people hide from prospecting in their pipelines; pretending the opportunities, individually or collectively, are more real than they are. It is easier to hide in the shadows than be definitive, both in measures and actions. With a 4:1 closing average, every time I close a deal, I must get four more to stay afloat. The more salespeople fudge that line, the harder they to work.

I bought my first cell phone in 1985. The enormous device was hard wired to the car, connected to a heavy metal box, and cost $2,000 to install. All calls in and out were billed by the minute and my bill averaged around $1,500 per month. The coverage was so spotty that most calls were dropped several times per conversation. The only practical way to use the "car phone" was to find a coverage area, find a place to park in that area, and then have a conversation.

Buyers are savvier, buying teams are larger, and new research shows that buyers' attention spans have dropped to just 8 seconds. This means that the old approach of blasting buyers with email-heavy, generic communications no longer works. Instead, buyers need to be surrounded with relevant communications and personalized, self-service content throughout their journey.

I had a chat with a gentleman recently who wanted to use Nimble CRM to monitor a contact’s social activity. There was a time when we could do that, but only to a limited extent, on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We can still do that, in some fashion, on Twitter. Facebook and LinkedIn would be another story. Time flies but I guess that it was about 5 years ago that Facebook and LinkedIn both decided to cut off third-party access to their platforms.
