One mistake often made by early adopters of new technology is that they assume everyone will automatically embrace their favorite new technology, product, or service. “How can they not fall in love with this?” they think. “The benefits speak for themselves!”. Unfortunately, the benefits of even the most revolutionary products aren’t always self-evident.

30 years ago, the Service Desk Institute (SDI) was born. The SDI is an IT help desk industry group with the mission to “continually improve the ability of business to deliver good service.” While the 30th anniversary of the SDI may not be terribly buzz-worthy, it does serve to remind us that the IT service desk is an enduring institution. An IT service desk functions as a primary point of contact between a company and its customers, and represents a cornerstone of corporate operations that is to

The Pipeline

By Tibor Shanto. There is a lot discussed about how sales and selling has changed over the years, be it the tech around sales, social attitudes changing what is acceptable and what no longer works due to many factors. What is lacking is a discussion about how sales should improve, not only functionally, but how the profession is perceived and valued and contributor to corporate success and social progress.

I’ve been writing a number of pieces looking at the future of the sales profession. I’d be remiss not to include a discussion of stupidity in selling. Stupid works, and as long as stupid works, we will continue to see organizations invest in doing things stupidly. Stupid behavior exists everywhere, and selling is no more immune to stupidity than every other sector.
Smart Calling

I recently heard one of the greatest questions of all time to use in response to an objection. And it wasn’t on a sales call. And it wasn’t really an objection, but we can adapt it. It was a television interview done with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. I had originally heard the clip while listening on a business radio show, and tracked down the video.

Sales coaching is not about telling your sales team what to do. There's so much more to it. Sales coaching helps sales leaders equip their teams to reach their maximum potential, and gives them the tools and knowledge to make better decisions in their sales process, which leads to overall improved sales performance for themselves, the team, and you.

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.

In a recent team meeting, one of our instructional designers noted that one of the recent trends in their observation with clients at Janek is the inclusion of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the selling process, rather than a Sales Agent just learning about services and products to sell on their own. A SME is someone who is an expert in a particular area or field – in the business world, they’re sometimes called technical experts or sales support.

There are four things incredible sales coaches have in common and we’ve shared them here. Chances are we’ve all had at least one incredible sales coach and one pretty bad one. We learned lessons from both of them that led us to go on and develop our own coaching styles, but it’s the incredible one who typically stands out most. It’s no secret that sellers are devoted to their incredible coaches.

Merchandising, sales, and demo teams are the unsung heroes of CPG marketing. From winning new retail placements to driving sales at face-to-face events, retail services firms can have a huge impact on a brand’s growth and success at the point of sale. But as deep an impact sales and demo teams can have on a brand’s retail strategy, they’re often limited by just how much of that impact they can prove to their clients.

It’s no secret that social selling can have a huge impact on a B2B organization’s bottom line. In fact, sales reps who leverage social selling are 79% more likely to attain their quota than those who do not ( source ). However, as impressive as this looks, B2B sales reps have been slow to adopt social media as an important sales tool. One study reported only 31% of sales reps use social media in their day-to-day sales process ( source ).

By Jeff Shore. ?One thing I know about sales leadership – it’s a lonely business. Seriously, there are days when you feel like you are on some kind of weird island where all you do is walk around putting out fires. At the end of the day you are totally exhausted but unfulfilled. This is not a job you want to do on your own. A lack of both coaching and support will only lead to frustration, disillusionment, and a serious case of burnout.
