Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

Do you ever look at something and get a déjà vu? In this era, chances are that feeling might just be a simple retargeting practice. Retargeting is when marketers reach out to the prospects that previously engaged with the company. So, if you come across a familiar advertisement while you’re browsing online, that’s retargeting. And while it could be an effective practice for marketers, the audience might feel that they’re being stalked. “Retargeting is a creepy stalkerR

Is it possible to sell faster by talking less? Absolutely. When sellers rely more on listening — active listening to be specific — their ability to understand client needs throughout the sales process accelerates. This not only gives sellers an edge in crafting unique solutions for each client, but it also helps sellers discern early on if a client is the right fit for their product before investing large amounts of time with them.

When training employees, it’s important to remember the big picture and end goals. Why? Because it’s easy to get lost in “just-in-case” training scenarios that can end up wasting a lot of time. If you are able to cover a broad spectrum aspects that add up to your big picture, training your employees will be more effective. They will have learned the skills necessary to make decisions effectively on their own, and thus, there would be no reason for “just-in-case” training.

If you ask any consultant, freelancer, or other "gig" worker what the hardest part of their job is, most will likely say "pricing my services.". Determining the value of your services is often tied up in your own self-worth, making this conversation even trickier for most people. For example, if you’ve worked as an employee for the last 30 years and never made more than $50 an hour, it might seem inconceivable that your services are worth $100 an hour.

As a sales leader, your prospects mean everything to you. Think the feeling’s mutual? Of course not. Your SDRs are the tenth sales rep they’ve spoken to that week. Even when your reps get a conversation started, prospects are prone to ghosting. After prospects reply to the rep’s initial email, only about half will respond again. The rest get distracted, bored, or busy — ultimately leaving your reps hanging.
