Once upon a time, your CRM platform may have been your Rolodex, a stack of business cards or the random pieces of paper where you wrote down information about your business contacts and your interactions with them. With the technology revolution things changed.

No More Cold Calling

APRIL 25, 2019

Did you know we have three different types of intuition? “Darn, I wish I’d trusted my gut.” I won’t even try to count the times I’ve said that. Eventually, most of us learn that trusting our gut makes sense—which is a non sequitur, because making sense is not intuitive. Making sense is systematic and sequential, and intuition is the opposite. It’s a feeling.

Apparently, Duracell 9 volt batteries are the picture of consistency. Last night, all 7 of our upstairs smoke detecters starting squawking within about 30 minutes of each other to indicate that their batteries needed to be replaced. Given that the Duracells were installed in those units on the same day 4 years ago, one would hope that there are more things that we could rely upon to be as consistent and predictable.

Today’s buyers are picky. It doesn’t matter if they’re B2C or B2B. They’ve come to expect an experience – in person and online – that’s immediately relevant, helpful and human. All at the same time. No easy feat. And it’s understandable. No one wants to feel like just another number on a spreadsheet or name in a database. Buyers want to feel like they’re part of an exclusive club.

As websites continue to become more and more important in the consumer journey, the need to measure the efficacy of digital marketing also increases. This is a shared burden between those selling digital media and business owners/marketers who are looking to maximize their ROI. We know that “clicks” provide an incomplete picture into the impact of digital advertising, as most users do not click on ads but still find their way to a businesses website after being exposed to ads.

In today’s web, is a website ever a once-and-done event? No. In traditional web design , you start with a website (see chart below) based on the assumption that “it will work” to achieve whatever smart goals you've set. After a year and a half to two years, you see that performance is dwindling and you embark on a 3-month redesign. You gain impact and the site works for another one and a half to two years before performance falls flat again, and you have to repeat the process.

Selling occurs in the dialogue, person to person. The interaction may be face-to-face or over the phone, but a successful outcome is based on trust between seller and buyer. Therefore, salespeople must be at their very best, bringing value to the table and to their customers. If they just push products, they sacrifice goodwill and trust. Their sales success is likely to be short-lived.
