No, I’m not channeling my inner Simon Sinek, but “Why” initiates very powerful diagnostic processes. My feeds are filled with posts on failure. Response rates to any kind of outbound prospecting continues to plummet. Every metric is down—opens, click throughs, phone engagement, meetings, everything is in sharp decline. While, in aggregate, companies may be hitting their revenue targets, per capita seller performance is plummeting.

I’ve heard it a thousand times: “I ask my clients if they have any problems, which I’m pretty sure they have, and quite frankly, I think they aren’t responding truthfully.” It is amazing how many clients tells salespeople they don’t have any issues whatsoever and just don’t need what they have to sell them.
