By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . People ask me why I focus so much on prospects’ objectives, after all if you can find a pain and play to it, you are bound to get a sale. Well maybe. I always find it amusing that when I ask people what do they want to know about a potential buyer, too many say “I want to know what their pain point is, their needs, the problem”.

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.

One offered up that he only wants to hire A players, “people who do not want to prospect all their career”. For context, this VP had a team of SDR’s and account managers.

It isn't as good as the Father's Day gifts I received from my wife and son, but I love it just the same. My team at Objective Management Group (OMG) built a great new tool and this one does not help us to more effectively evaluate sales forces and assess sales candidates.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams.

Modern day master salespeople, like masters in any discipline, think differently than the masses. They are in tune with the idea of serving others, from the word go, instead of serving themselves first. They don't operate within the horse trading mentality of 'give me what I need and I will give you what you need'. I think that Martin Luther King was probably the epitome of a contemporary modern day sales person.

To increase sales requires every salesperson to be somewhat like Sherlock Holmes. Time and effort must be directed to researching potential sales opportunities as well as lost ones. For example in real estate, my sense is there are many lost opportunities to increase sales because realtors do not investigate further why someone chose not to buy a home.

The only problem is creating content is time-consuming, costly, and hard! And it’s also very competitive.
