The buyer’s journey does not follow a linear course. Without revenue attribution, you are exposed—unable to allocate time, money, and resources to the marketing efforts that produce top-line results. If you can’t quantify the collective impact of marketing touch-points, you.

Quickly and immediate are relative to the learning curve and the sales cycle but are still the key outcomes. Most companies combine some kind of classroom training with self-directed online training, shadowing an experienced salesperson and coaching.

The reason you need to integrate social selling, traditional phone work, and other elements of prospecting, is to ensure that you are covering all bases the process of converting a stranger, into a bonified pipeline opportunity.

Despite the talk, the training, the tools, and everything else sales people have been exposed to and have access to, it is still interesting (disappointing) how fast most sellers, even those who hit quota, will resort to product in a sale. They may want to pretend that they are not, they may want to dress things up, but in the end what they deliver is a Pitch.

Let me ask you a question: Do all of your leads end up buying? Of course not. Next question: Out of ten leads that you set up to pitch a demo to, how many of those ten end up buying? If you said “two” then you are at the industry average. Now consider what that really means: It means that out of ten closes you attempt, eight are not going to buy! Now think about all the time and energy you spend trying to close a lead that is never going to buy anyway.

Having trouble motivating your team? You’re not alone. Every member of your team has different skill levels, interest levels, and different ways of learning.

In the last 30 days, I’ve talked to more than a dozen company executives, sales people and sales managers. I’ve asked them “What is the #1 constrictor to hitting your sales goals?” The answer every time was: getting more qualified leads. I know this is not a large sampling and I would be concerned about the validity of this finding if only 25% of them said that getting more qualified leads was the main problem.
