Sales success is often contingent on well-reasoned arguments and the seller’s ability to make a strong, compelling case to the buyer.

Your blood alcohol level endangers everyone around you. Our global team won a huge deal. We got emails and voicemails raving about how the team worked together, pulled all-nighters, and managed to get everything in sync for the big bake-off.

Sales 2.0
SEPTEMBER 25, 2019
There’s still plenty to do. Back in 2006 I coined the term “Sales 2.0” (see the logo on this website). My concept of Sales 2.0 was, and is, “taking the sales profession to the next level”. In my opinion we’ve come a long way since 2006 but we still have a long way to go. The posts on this blog are going to continue to be about how sales people can sell more, and sell more easily, by using techniques and tools they may not be using today.

In ancient English lore, a Will-o-the-wisp is a mischievous spirit of swampy and dark places that uses a lantern-like light to lure unwary travelers off the path. Travelers may mistake the Will-o-the-wisp for a fellow traveler leading the way or for a kindlier spirit, such as a Leprechaun, who might lead them to treasure.

I’m a big fan of delegating things in life to free my time up for what matters most to me. This is why I don’t do things such as mowing my lawn or cleaning my own car—I delegate this type of stuff to others in exchange for money so that I can buy my time back. Why? Because time is more valuable than money. All small business owners must learn to delegate better in order to scale.

Preparation Promotes Powerful Performance. It’s a tongue twister and yet there’s a lot of depth in that statement. It got me thinking about when my daughter tried out for a competitive dance team. After a week of workouts, she was the only person “cut” before the season started. She was dismayed…for about 36 hours… and then she declared, “Mom, can we get me better classes for dance?

In June, CNBC reported that recently listed cloud software companies were getting crushed for poor sales execution. That’s not hard to believe. Enterprise sales is hard, which is why most businesses start as an SMB org and grow into an enterprise org. Even starting small, though, most companies fail to make this transition. And those that do often struggle through the transition, leaving behind a churn of leadership and sales resources after every funding milestone.

As recently as 2018 it was estimated that there were 155 million Office 365 business users and early this year, Gartner estimated: 1 in 5 corporate employees now uses an Office 365 cloud service. Office 365 is the most widely used cloud service by user count. This is quite a stunning comeback for Microsoft when not too long ago rumors of its demise at the hands of Google’s G-Suite were clearly exaggerated to paraphrase a famous quote.

As a subject matter expert (SME), you have knowledge that the sales force needs to access, but the challenge is sharing information with the sales force that’s both timely and relevant. When things change–market conditions, competitive pressures, regulatory changes, etc.–a long treatise will go unread, and a professionally produced document or video will take too long to make.
