SaaS, and business in general, is full of terms that sound similar but carry different meanings, the kind of terms that newcomers (and sometimes those who should know better) are prone to trip on. You can add “business development vs. sales” to that long list. Sales is, well, sales: bringing your product to individuals in your predetermined target market segment.

HBR reports that on average, professionals have more than 200 emails in their inbox and receive 120 new ones each day but respond to only 25% of them.

Now is a good time to revisit lost proposals. Why? Because the circumstances are different now and your prospect might be willing to pick them up again. Capital costs are lower. The need for being more competitive, profitable, and valuable is higher than ever. And as with any sale you can find new ways to reframe the benefits, this time emphasizing the non-utility-cost financial and non-financial benefits rather than the utility-cost savings and rebates.

Great salespeople seek to elevate their relationships with customers beyond that of a peddler of goods or services to the level of a trusted advisor. Regardless of the products or services you sell, it’s likely you seek to sell consultatively, to uncover deeper buying motives, and to address customer problems rather than to just sell stuff. The days of just selling stuff are over, and everyone knows it.
