Most buyers today spend approximately two-thirds of their journey digitally and anonymously before contacting vendors directly. Intent data can help B2B marketers reach active buyers earlier, influence their journey, and close more deals. However, not all intent data is created equal.

One frequently discussed issue by negotiation experts is when you should make the first offer in a negotiation. Conventional wisdom is to never make the first offer in a negotiation. After all, by making the first offer, you risk "showing your cards" too early and leaving money on the table. On the other hand, there are many cases where it is to your advantage to make the first offer.

A lot of people think that consultative selling is the ultimate solution – that if you just ask a lot of questions, the prospect will think that you’re interested in them and you’ll get a lot of information that you can somehow cobble into a compelling proposal.

When a business is fully operational and functioning at capacity, productivity should, in theory, be maximized.

Otherwise, you’re simply wasting your time… and your prospect’s time. Here are some examples of weak and strong call objectives.

As part of the program design, it suggested it engaging sellers in role plays. I was curious about how that might work, so I decided to experiment. After describing a potential selling situation, I suggested a role play, where ChatGPT was the seller and I was the customer.
