There are the new rules that will reshape many of the components of selling, from prospecting, to sales conversations, to closing and building relationships. The future of sales tactics is to be insight driven and to be built on a platform of data, information, and knowledge.

The debate of whether to open your calls asking, “Did I catch you at a good time?” or “Is this time still good for you?” (for presentation call backs), is alive and well—unfortunately. I still receive emails asking me whether to ask this or not. Some swear by it, while others never use it. So, should you, or shouldn’t you? I’ve been making calls—both prospecting calls and closing calls—for a long time.

The sales call started nicely. The sales person started asking me questions about my business, what I wanted to achieve, challenges we faced. He asked the alternatives we were considering. Then things went south, really quickly. He asked me what I like about the competition. At first, I thought it a clever approach. He might then start to talk about his solution in the context of the things I highlighted.

Sales Myth: You Have to Sell Yourself Most of us, at one time or another in our careers, have heard some trainer or manager exclaim, “You have to sell yourself.” “If you want to get that job, son, you have to sell yourself.” “The real key to sales is your ability to sell yourself.” “If you want others to like you, you’ll have to sell yourself.” The Sell Yourself Cliche This philosophy is prevalent in business culture.

In sales, we have three enemies. Sure, we’ve got competitors, but the other two are self-generated enemies that we bring to the party… Having an Expert Mindset (I know my s*#t). Mistaking an early conclusion with the right conclusion. These may not sound like big problems, but they are. They lead to you missing valuable information and failing to create trust with your prospect.

It’s easy to ignore how important follow-up email subject line (and following-up, in general) is to your outreach. If you need a response from contacts you don’t know personally, you’ll have to send multiple follow-ups after getting the first email ignored.
