By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . People generally have one of two relationships with deadlines, they either love them, and use them to be more productive. Or they hate them, ignore them, avoid them, or are terrified by them. The former is usually the more productive group. While productivity is normally defined as more units of output with the same or less units of input, the only thing we’ll mess with or alter in this post, is we will look at the units of input as being time.

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.

One of the BEST ways to communicate with others is to be able to think on your feet. It’s called extemporaneous speaking. Yea, I know – big word.

I’ve read and heard (from a well-known industry analyst firm) that best-in-class companies close 30% of sales qualified leads while average companies close 20%. Those results factor in lead leakage of between 52% to 86% of the marketing qualified leads put into the top of the funnel. If you do the math, this tells us that sales reps are expected to work 1000 marketing qualified leads down to 14 to 48 sales qualified leads and close 20% or 30% of those leads respectively; and end up with 3 to 14

I often meet salespeople in my visits to clients and ask them for their favourite strategies when it comes to sales. Sometimes they tell me a couple of ideas, but mainly I’m met with a blank stare or a mumbling of some quote or other they’ve heard over the years. Why is it so important to have a strategy when you are selling? Because it helps you build confidence when you are working with prospects and clients, and enables you to change direction when buyers put up obstacles or objections.

Funny many salespeople believe they have a sales commitment attitude and consequently behavior. However if this was true why do so many in sales fail to achieve their sales numbers as well as dislike marketing or prospecting such as cold calling.
