The Pipeline

JULY 14, 2020

By Tibor Shanto. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and in sales, telephone prospecting is something worth doing and doing right. Challenge is that many don’t do it right, making the whole thing that much harder, and eventually not done. You can tell how salespeople go through these phases by the predictability of the excuses offered. One of my favorites is that the phone just doesn’t work anymore, no one answers their phone and other similar hits.

Greed Has Damaged Our World—We Need New Sales Ethics. We can easily see, and it is shown by the Austrian School of Economics, that trade (and therefore sales) has a peacekeeping component. If two parties, or two countries, are engaged in trade, it’s impossible to engage in conflict or war. If we’re going to proceed into a successful, happy world, sales must have an ethical factor to keep it at this level.

There are very few who would argue that B2B sales hasn’t undergone a radical change, especially when it comes to consultative selling , where two of the primary variables to success is providing the context that would help a prospective client see something invisible to them and the advice as to what they should do to produce better results. The idea that one is a sense-maker requires that they have the business acumen and situational knowledge to provide the context and counsel their clients.

While some sales roles include the highly mobile sort of work that require practitioners to spend a great deal of time outside of the office, we know that doesn’t apply to SDRs! After all, Sales Development Representatives are typically tethered to a desk, and therefore are better equipped to work from places other than the office – and, consequently, better able to work remotely from home.

The benefits of employee recognition are far-reaching. When employees receive recognition for a job well done, they want to repeat the positive behaviors that led to that success, increasing productivity and performance. This is because people are neurologically hard-wired to repeat positive behaviors when they receive praise. “Meaningful recognition activates the brain’s limbic system, causes a rush of dopamine, and compels us to repeat rewarding behaviors,” explains Beth Sunshine , Partner at

Statistics suggest it takes eight touches to get an initial meeting and an additional ten to close the deal. So, 18 touches in all. Now let me ask you, would you assume that means making 18 phone calls in a row, asking the same things over and over?
