When you call someone for the first time, it can be a bit unnerving to get their voicemail. But it needn’t be, if you prepare effectively. It always surprises me how many salespeople are not prepared for voicemail. These days, buyers are busier than ever, and even if they are available, may put their phones through to voicemail, simply because they don’t have time to take calls.

Most of us have experienced those email automation messages. We download something and then we get an automated message for some follow-up or worse yet a direct sales pitch. Yuck.

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.

Information in today’s digital milieu has always been a double edged sword for sales and marketing. It works for you if you can control it. Information comes from your sales team, your website and your press releases. Outside that – it’s a free-for-all. As we all know, the latter is the reality. What we often have to deal with is a highly-evolved B2B buyer, someone who’ve searched across several online platforms.

I spent most of my professional life as a sales manager in some form or another. I had my share of successes and … not such successes. Most of these were related to the hiring and development of reps. I gave up managing 12 years ago largely because I was tired of the stress. Selling is much more fun! Certainly, if I were to hire and develop salespeople today, you would have to be an idiot to not take advantage of today’s technologies like hiring software, videos, and video conferencing.

But being persistent should not be confused with pestering. Spamming a prospect over and over again is far more likely to drive them away than get them on the phone.

“SHOULD I COLD EMAIL MY PROSPECTS BEFORE CALLING?” I get this question a lot. I understand it. Most sales reps are tired of getting rejected when selling over the phone. It’s natural to look for a solution that minimizes our own pain. Unfortunately, cold emailing a prospect before calling them only lessens the pain of rejection but it does nothing to lessen the pain of missing quota.
