I took last month off from writing. A month is a long time for me not to post anything – but it was time for me to read more than write, to focus solely on learning from others, and take some time to observe, assimilate and extrapolate on some thoughts that have been going around in my head for a while. Maybe at a macro-societal scale I was waiting for the storm to pass, but I sense that the storm we are in right now will continue to buffet us for some time yet.

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.

The United States Small Business Administration reported over 70% of U.S. businesses in 2013 were owned and operated by sole proprietors or sole trad

When Value Props Flop. It’s easy to know when your value prop is working because it’s resonating with the people you are talking to, and they are responding. They are saying things like “I need that” or “Can you do that for me?” (music to my ears.) When you receive a response like that it means you have identified your customer’s problem or an opportunity that is exciting to them, they understand it and they want it.

Developing any high performance sales team starts with talent. If you have the wrong people, no tools, processes, programs, training in the world will make up for it. Yet, too often, managers treat this issue too cavalierly. I constantly see: Sloppy approaches to recruiting, relying more on “chemistry,” and out of date job descriptions, rather than having a rich competency model for the “ideal candidate.” Rushing to fill vacant positions, rather than taking the time to

Who actually owns the customer, pre-sale through post-sale?
