The Pipeline

DECEMBER 1, 2016

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . Insurance is one of those things that everyone has but nobody really wants. In some ways, we feel that we are throwing money away, until that rainy day or unforeseen event arrives, and we are all too happy to have the insurance. As much as we hate the experience, we do it because we know that it’s the best way to ensure that we don’t have a sever disruption, financial or other, that will negatively impact our lives.

I've been writing about the importance of having a milestone-centric sales process for a decade and Objective Management Group's (OMG) data is showing that companies - and their salespeople - have finally begun to make some serious progress in this area. Ten years ago, only 9% of the sales population was following a formal, structured sales process.

No More Cold Calling

What does it say about you and your team if you can’t unplug? During the upcoming winter holidays, most of the business world will shut down. It’s vacation time, family time, rejuvenation time. If you’re planning to work through the “most wonderful time of the year,” or if you haven’t taken at least most of your vacation time this year, ask yourself why.

(Cartoon courtesy to Kenny Madden). I once worked with the then SVP, Marketing of a large public company who was frustrated with sales. Big surprise. At one point he got so angry that he offered sales management the following choices for spending a $100,000 budget to generate leads. They could choose one of the following: 200,000 targeted contacts (name and title) in the right vertical (no email addresses). 100,000 companies with up to three executive contacts in the right company (no email addr

Have you noticed? Most content sucks. Yup, I said it. Sorry, in too many cases it is true. Marketing content designed to generate leads is weak, uninspiring and offers little value to the target market. When was the last time you found or even downloaded an exquisite ebook, or attended a great webinar or was offered a compelling study? Exactly! Most content today is average at best.
