For years, the work of many revenue operations (RevOps) teams have largely been determined by immediate customer needs. Indeed, most RevOps projects address a problem that’s already happened with the goal of ensuring it doesn’t happen again. For organizations undertaking their first revenue operations initiative, this reactive approach is natural and necessary.

How would you like to have just one question that will almost always positively identify a buyer? Believe it or not, there is such a question, and it’s an easy question, but very few sales reps have ever thought to ask it. Or, if they do know what that question is, they are afraid to ask it. Why?

Part Two: Everything that happens after that. Referrals help you ace Part One and set you up for success in Part Two. That’s an over-simplification, I know, but it’s the easiest way for people to understand the power of a referral introduction.

By Tibor Shanto. Summer, traditionally a time to kick back, relax and enjoy the brightest and warmest time of year. Business seems to move at a calmer pace as people enjoy school and work vacations. And while there is no doubt that the pace may be different, there are ways to take advantage of the “ summer lull.” But while elements of the change in pace are true, it requires a change in our action, not a lack of action.

We’ve been giving away too much money in sales over the past century. Why? We’ve been trained to think the buyer’s budget matters. For years, when a buyer says my budget is X, we assume and operate from the fact that that’s all they have to spend and that if we don’t meet their budget we’ll lose. In other words, we make the buyer’s budget problem our problem and we need to stop doing that.

Have you ever heard music that was so brilliant, you couldn’t even carry on a conversation while listening? I had a friend in college who played like that. Her audiences would be nearly silent as she played, mesmerized by the sound, until her last note when they would go nuts! She practiced both the piano and the guitar often, simply because she loved it, and she often played for us upon request.

And hopefully, we repeat the performance the following quarter, then hit our numbers for the year. We’ve met our goals! But what if we could have done more? Not just exceeding our quotas, but what if we reassessed what we do, how we do it, and realized that we really should be doing much better?
