Your customers are your most valuable asset in more ways than one. Not only do they create revenue by making purchases, but they can also help you with leadership development, marketing and sales.

While most CSOs scrutinize compensation designs and the tie between rewards and sales strategy, very few are paying attention to how the sales compensation plans are modeled.

They get so much more training, documentation, information on best sales practices, and internal support than their predecessors, who often had to find their own way – usually, the hard way.

In 2009, I was desperate… I had just spent six miserable months trying to become a financial advisor after my dream career of being a spy for the DoD didn’t pan out. I was a year past my last semester of college, newlywed, on crutches from major knee surgery, and we were expecting our first child.

Buyers are savvier, buying teams are larger, and new research shows that buyers' attention spans have dropped to just 8 seconds. This means that the old approach of blasting buyers with email-heavy, generic communications no longer works. Instead, buyers need to be surrounded with relevant communications and personalized, self-service content throughout their journey.

Is Sherlock Holmes Real? In a recent survey, 58% of British teens thought Sherlock Holmes was a real guy…. And 20% thought Winston Churchill was a fictional character. This is just one illustration of how over time, the truth becomes fairytale and fairytale becomes truth in our world. This is nowhere more true than the world of sales and business, which has become full of false information that has been perpetuated over the years.
