All the requirements have been met. We have already seen these factors occur across the board: Low QoQ GDP. High interest rates. Massive layoffs. Inflation. Stock Market down. Cost-cutting. We are now seeing these events in sales organizations: Missed forecasts. Closing delays. Failure to hit quotas. Order cancellations. We know what doesn't work in a recession.

The more people involved in a buying decision, the less likely you are to close. Getting multiple stakeholders to arrive at a consensus is hard enough on its own, and bringing an additional decision-maker into the fold means adding a potential detractor to the mix. As you’ve probably seen first-hand, there’s normally at least one blocker in every company — and they can do a lot to sabotage your sales efforts.

I often hear from startup founders who are interested in selling to government agencies but don’t know how to get started. It’s easy to understand why: Each year, 90,000 state and local government organizations spend more than $ 1.5 trillion contracting with private businesses, and the U.S. federal government spends another $ 649 billion — all together, that’s a $2 trillion opportunity (roughly 10% of U.S.

The landscaper called me over to look at a tree on our property. He showed me the enormous hole and I asked, "What did that?" "Woodpecker," he said. On one side of the tree we had this perfectly cut, huge hole, and the other side of the tree had many small holes. I learned that the Woodpecker that made the small holes were looking for food while the Woodpecker that made the huge hole was making a home.

Building Virtual Relationships with Eye Contact There are very few behaviors that have as dramatic an impact on building virtual relationships with customers as making eye contact with them does. Direct eye contact conveys confidence, credibility, attention and interest. It even triggers the hormone Oxytocin in your audience’s brains that make them feel more connected, open, and relaxed with you.

Niche markets represent a huge opportunity for the financial services industry in America. From college students and women to communities of color and low-to-moderate-income households, niche populations have specialized financial needs – but they often underutilize many valuable financial products and services. How can you better connect with these consumers?

Have you ever observed your self-talk after you lose a sale? Mine used to go something like this: “Darn it! I suck at this!” “This product will never sell!” “The leads are trash, and I actually agree with some of my prospect’s objections!” “I wonder what I can sell that’s easier than this?” “Should I go back to school?” And on and on. While managers want you to jump on the next call, go from a negative experience and be positive again and “smile and dial,” you know how hard that is.

We’ve been talking to, teaching, and coaching sales organizations for 30 years. We’ve been through every economic, political, and social uptick and downturn that you’ve been through. As a result, we’ve heard every reason for success and failure. The one true constant throughout those years and swings in environment is that there are always a small group of salespeople that succeed regardless of what is going on around them.

Let’s do the impossible together. I’m so conflicted, often scared. What’s this world coming to? I’m not a pessimist and try to look at the bright side, but there’s so much violence and hate. Wars, nuclear threats, mass shootings, polarized governments. It’s enough to make even optimists wonder if the glass is half empty after all. My husband and I don’t watch the news on TV anymore.

Where does talent really come from? It’s a simple equation: Talent = Sales. And the more talent your organization has, the more sales you’ll get. But while it’s a simple equation, it’s not necessarily easy to achieve. It’s the reason why so many sales leaders take a risk-averse approach to managing their sales talent. This is especially true in today’s uncertain economic climate.

In recent years, product-led growth has become a hot strategy because it allows for quick scalability with relatively minimal investment. Some of the fastest growing companies like Shopify, Snowflake, and Zoom use this tactic, making it look all the more appealing. But that doesn’t mean companies with a more sales-led approach to growth are headed for the scrap heap.

As sellers and leaders, we know we are supposed to create value–for our customers, our people, and each other. Too many of us, me included, tend to be very glib about the term, assuming everyone automatically understands what is meant by value creation. I’ve come to realize, despite how much we talk about it, we really don’t understand what it means, often overcomplicating it.

I’m finding great ways to use ChatGPT and am using it as a debate partner to better understand critical issues and to test my own thinking. Yesterday, however, we struggled with each other. I sought to get it’s perspective on a certain issue and it’s thinking was flawed. At that point I started trying to coach ChatGPT. It reminded me of so many coaching sessions I’ve had with human beings.

Speaker: Ardath Albee, B2B Marketing Strategist and CEO of Marketing Interactions
Most buyers today spend approximately two-thirds of their journey digitally and anonymously before contacting vendors directly. Intent data can help B2B marketers reach active buyers earlier, influence their journey, and close more deals. However, not all intent data is created equal. Perceiving interest as intent will lead you down a rabbit hole with no program performance.

As we see more organizations announce reductions and layoffs, we are seeing more CEOs use poor seller performance as an excuse for the layoffs. One CEO said, “We’ve identified more than 100 people on our sales team who have consistently missed expectations. Simply put, a significant percentage of our sales force has been repeatedly underperforming based on measurable performance targets and critical KPIs.

How do you prepare for a test when you don’t know what questions they’ll ask? Preparing for a job interview is somewhat of a guessing game. Fortunately, most hiring managers stick to many of the same executive assistant interview questions and themes. An executive assistant (EA) is by nature a personal job where fit is essential — I know because that was my first job out of college.
