Sales Leaders miss or make the number one sales call at a time. Yet they typically don’t pay enough attention to each call. They look at each rep’s performance to quota. They review the pipeline. These are difficult to control. Sales leaders can.

A sales manager on one of our leadership programmes was asked what he considered to be his biggest priority at work. We thought he would have said ‘hitting targets’ like everyone else had said on the programme. This sales manager said something rather intriguing. He said that his biggest priority had to be keeping his team motivated and inspired. That was because, if he managed to achieve a highly-motivated team, it was much easier to achieve his targets.

Sales is all about change. You want your sales prospect to change by buying your solution. How will you facilitate that change will speak to your sales success or failure. Facilitate is an incredibly powerful word and one that many salespeople tend to ignore. The roots of facilitate are Latin in origin (facere) and translates as “to do” or “to make.” From facere, the word evolved to “facilis” or translated to “easy.” In other words, facilitate i

The ability to read body language signals and respond accordingly is an important weapon in a salesperson’s arsenal. As a salesperson, you should be actively seeking to “hear” your prospect’s body language, as much as you’re listening to the words they’re saying. On some level, we humans naturally pay attention and react to body language. When you see someone smile, you know instinctively that they’re happy (or at least indicating positive feelings to you).

Hiring successful BDR managers is no easy feat, but it’s crucial to the long-term success of your sales team – BDR managers own the top of your lead funnel, and often the talent pipeline for your company as well. You task them with hiring junior team members and ramping those new hires quickly on your product, market and sales process. They must handle all of that while facing an extremely high turnover rate, competitive market/comp while likely building training, processes and operations on the

The words "Role Play" immediately bring feelings of fear, dread, and anxiety for most salespeople. But why? That's easy. Most sales managers use role-playing as a form of punishment. We've all either done it or had it done to us. As a manager, we are often frustrated by a salesperson, team, or project when they fail to make the progress that we expect.

Me, again! But don’t worry, Day 3 was short and sweet, so this post will be too. I made it to one presentation before the conference wrapped up. Michael McCune, Senior Executive Advisor at CEB, delivered a presentation centered around Value Propositions that win advocacy. He stated that affinity does not guarantee advocacy; 49% of B2B buyers are willing to buy and advocate, while the remaining 51% are ready to buy, but not ready to advocate.

Pointing fingers doesn’t change anything. Why? Why? Why don’t account based selling teams ask for referrals? Why is asking for referrals ad hoc and not a discipline? It makes no sense at all, because every sales leader and account based sales rep knows that referrals are their hottest leads and best business. Are you wondering? I was. So, I asked around on LinkedIn and got lots of answers, many of which I shared in a recent blog post.

The selection process for choosing a CPQ solution vendor is not unlike most software selection processes. However, there are several unique factors that should be remembered when selecting a CPQ provider. First, there is a tendency to think of CPQ as a point solution; a tool handed off to Sales for their use and to their singular benefit. Restricting CPQ in this fashion is a sure way to limit the benefits associated with CPQ and possibly even guarantee its failure within your enterprise.
