The foundation for most successful go-to-market teams is data — but not just any data will do. B2B sales and marketing teams need reliable firmographic profiles of their target accounts that will stay up-to-date amid the rapid pace of change in business. Sourcing a continuous stream of reliable business data isn’t a straightforward process. Data teams continue to struggle with outdated records and fragmented systems that, at best, result in unpredictable sales outcomes.

On a coaching call last week, a manager and I were discussing a seller new to his team. On pulling up this person’s sales assessment, all I could think was, “WOW! Look at all that talent!” This person was strong across the board. So much potential. Unfortunately, this seller was definitely not reaching their potential. Struggling, not making budget, not willing to learn, and a poor attitude.

The beauty of the varying trees and plants pointing upward to the sky had me equating it to the business question, do you embrace diversity?

Maybe you got the timing right, maybe you didn’t. Either way, the sales process was linear — a series of presentations and a neatly packaged proposal at the end. I definitely remember that.

That being the case, more sales organizations are looking for ways to help them do more with less.

This quote in Tom’s book captivated me–partly because of it’s significance in the theme of his book, but mostly as a principle or opportunity we might have in business. Everything in our “wiring” in business is to reduce and eliminate uncertainty.
