Every year, thousands of companies spend millions of dollars on sales kickoff (SKO) events and concentrate on talking at the group rather than activating the growth plan. If you're reading this, you're likely one of them. SKO is a monumental event that can ignite the motivation of commercial teams and drive organizations to reach new heights.

My MacBook Pro is running Monterey version 12.6 and it has been charging to only 80%. This was driving me crazy so I did some digging and found that the default battery setting is "Optimized" where it says the following: "To reduce battery aging, your Mac learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it on battery.".

Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams.

As CEO, it’s imperative that you lead by example. In this episode Alice talks with Tim Hughes who explains how to change your sales approach from “interrupting to pitch” to “gaining trust”.

For some, the thought of AI conjures up images of computers taking over systems like the WOPR supercomputer in the film War Games. (“Shall we play a game?”). I assure you, though, that when we talk about artificial intelligence (AI) in learning, training, and coaching, the technology will not initiate a thermonuclear war. Nor will it eliminate all human interaction between coaches and sellers.

They get into topics like, “do you start with ‘How are you…,'” They extend into the exact sentence structure, use these words, don’t use these, counter with this, use these pattern interrupts, here are the sequences. There is discussion about authenticity, which often seems to be faux authenticity; sometimes accompanied by recommendations on mirroring, facial expressions, and so forth.
