In 2012 our consultants attended 438 live sales calls. Two weeks ago, we participated in the worst sales call of the year. I thought I would share this story with you. I hope to help you avoid some mistakes. The story begins with the EVP of Sales of a large technology company. He hired our firm. The purpose of the engagement was to understand why The Challenger Sale was not working. In 2011, this company replaced its Solution Selling methodology with The Challenger Sales approach.

How was your 2012? What I find interesting is how different 2012 turned out than the way it was planned. Copyright 2012, Mark Hunter “The Sales Hunter.” This is what makes life and business so interesting. I’m a firm believer in planning things out and establishing goals. For those of us in sales, planning and goal setting are essential skills, but I’ll go beyond just sales and say both of these skills are a must for everyone.

I’ve spent time at Inbound 2012, Hubspot’s summit for marketers – an event which is growing dramatically year to year. Boston could really use a SXSW-type of event, so why not a bigger Inbound 2012 next year? Did you get to Inbound 2012? As a sales-brained person (not marketing-brained) I tend to stay away from marketers, but these last two days have been different and very rewarding.

Dreamforce 2012: A Spectacular Spectacle. I just returned from Dreamforce 2012. You’ve probably read over and over, that there were 90,000 people registered, 750 sessions, and more than 350 exhibitors. While those numbers top those of previous years, the show seemed less crowded. Salesforce did a great job providing outdoor space and entertainment which, I think, kept the show-floor free of lookie-loos killing time in between sessions.

I went skiing for the first time today. I went with my oldest two girls. We had a blast. They didn’t want to stop. I love that. While on the hill we had this picture taken. It was taken by one of the Vail photographers that were scattered all over the hill. In bright green jackets; they were everywhere. You couldn’t miss them. They took the picture for free and with in an hour it was auto-posted to our EpicMix account. I’ve heard some people say it happens instantly.
