We work with many community banks and while the commercial side of the bank usually has some “sales chops”, we often hear from leadership that retail bankers are less comfortable with “selling.” Or they may even avoid that word altogether. We like how the book Go-Givers Sell More positions the process of selling: Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.

The world of sales has changed a lot in the last 20 years. From the time when people wanted others to do or buy something, sales techniques were developed and people started to have jobs and careers in sales. Historians have found coins from around 7,000 years ago. This means that we stopped bartering and started exchanging goods and services for money at around that time.

When we say that we buy on emotions and back it up with logic how does that actually play out? I mean, I go to the supermarket and buy the usual stuff – toilet paper, toothpaste, milk, vegetables and maybe the odd chocolate bar (that I make my husband and I share because that way there’s less calories!) but outside the chocolate, where do emotions come into what I buy?

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.

The Focused Sales Leadership framework consists of 3 pillars: Leadership, Culture and Focus. Sales leaders must build winning teams and develop a performance culture to achieve outstanding results. Yet, many sales leaders are working 50-60 hours a week and still not getting the desired results. Are you stuck in an endless sea of emails, texts, voice messages, meetings, and many other distractions?

I do my own weeding and that "hobby" takes up a lot of my free time. Weeding is like playing the arcade game wack-a-mole where you pull the weed, use a weed wacker, or poison the weed on Monday and two more weeds appear in its place on Tuesday. If you think about territory sales or sales into a specific vertical, reps should be calling on the same customers and prospects all the time.

In SBI’s recent survey of 150 CEOs, there was evidence that CEOs taking decisive action on growth planning will outpace those choosing a “wait-and-see” approach as we head into economic headwinds. One of the uncertainties CEOs are facing in 2023 is a potential shift in demand. Only 18% of CEOs surveyed anticipate slowing demand, but is this low percentage of admission indicative of a repeat of 2020, where CEOs were reticent to admit to a slowing shift?

I was giving a training today and emphasizing the importance of directing the sale, assuming the deal, and leading the prospect through the close. As I did, I reminded the team of closers of my very favorite closing phrase, and one that has literally made me millions of dollars in my career. When you get to the reason to place the order now, or purchase your product or service, what’s important is not to ask if they agree, or if they have the budget, or anything like that.

Over the past couple of years, it has seemingly been one extreme after another — record-high unemployment followed by record job growth followed by record voluntary job changes. Record-high consumer spending followed by record-high inflation.

Differentiation often starts with marketing, but it truly comes alive in the selling process. Even if your company’s products and services are superior to all others, this means nothing if you can’t convey that to your buyers. Differentiating in sales is more than a good pitch—you need to differentiate in the right areas, adapt to your buyer’s needs, and build value.

Having a clear plan will determine where you and your team focus their time — and time is the most valuable investment you can put into your business. However, it’s not a simple rinse-and-repeat process across different countries, where culture and resources will differ as much as the local cuisine.

The biggest complaint I hear from managers is they don’t have time to coach, especially when they’re spending most of their time helping their team close more sales, resolve problems and handle customer issues. During these time-sensitive situations, compounded with the pressure to drive results, they feel they must be direct and tell people what they have to do, right?

Continuous improvement is dependent on feedback, and in most situations, we feel confident in the feedback we are giving and receiving. However, sometimes people will tell you what they think you want to hear, and the feedback is not very useful or effective. In order to garner authentic feedback from your employees, and return the favor, the stage needs to be set for open two-way communication.

As interest rates rise by 75 basis points for the first time in almost 30 years, experienced sales reps and newcomers alike are facing the prospect of selling during a recession. Sales is tough enough as it is, and prolonged economic uncertainties make the job even harder. Budgets are reduced or eliminated. Companies evaluate prospective new technologies with greater scrutiny or postpone such investments entirely.

If you’re in sales, you spend a lot of your time asking other people to buy what you sell. What about the last time you purchased something? Coffee on the way to work, an app on your phone, or maybe a new home appliance? Why did you buy it now , instead of lat er? I find my tipping point is often based on my experience during the purchase process.
