By Tibor Shanto. People seem to want to make things complex, almost like a badge of honour, “I thrive in complexity.” People talk about the complex sale , but when you explore a bit, scratch the surface, you find that the complexity is neither natural or necessary.

It’s that time of year again… trend time. Before we get into it, let’s first clarify what a trend actually is. According to the dictionary definition, a trend can have different aspects, such as a drift (a prevailing tendency or inclination), a swing (a general movement), a vogue (a current style or preference), or an approach (a line of development).

I’m bucking the annual tradition of pitching predictions about what is or is not going to happen in sales, marketing and business in 2020 or the decade ahead. It seems pointless. Predictions aside, for the past decade buyers have clearly communicated their displeasure with traditional, outdated selling approaches; yet, old behaviors rage on. It seems pointless to predict what could happen when what has happened isn’t even being addressed.

A client once asked me to help them increase their sales and industry presence in the U.K. market, specifically with the top 200 fashion and apparel brands and retailers in the region.

Many small business owners think that if they just work a little harder, things will get better and their business will grow. But in reality, working harder is not always the answer.

As the year draws to a close, sales leaders have an opportunity and an obligation to understand the impact of changes seen in 2019. The global economy evolved in 2019. The estimated global growth of 3 percent for the year was modest and characterized by what the International Monetary Fund called a “synchronized slowdown.” International trade tensions and a destabilized geopolitical picture were just some of the looming, long-term challenges.

A sales process is to selling as a recipe is to a cake. Without the proper steps in a particular and strategic order, you will fail at both selling and baking a cake. At one point in your life, you’ve probably had some type of baking conundrum. For me, I spent hours formulating my favorite type of cookie only for the liquid to completely evaporate in the oven.

Students often ask me how to sell to condo boards. I’ve experienced things from both sides. I was on a condo board for four years in Philadelphia, and two of those years I served as president, so I know what it’s like to run a board of five or six people and hold a three-hour meeting each month. It was tough at times; however, it ultimately gave me an insider’s view of how major decisions get made in these settings.
