There’s plenty of mediocrity in lead generation—both in-house and outsourced. However, there are a lot of things good insourced operations and lead generation companies do well. While lead generation (or teleprospecting) is not rocket science, there are a lot of moving parts in a well-run lead generation machine. Failure to execute and coordinate all of the moving parts leads to poor results.

Last week, the CMI and Glassdoor published their research findings on management trends in their paper ‘Leadership and Culture at Work.’. It’s always interesting to see how companies are adapting to the wildly-changing world of business, and it’s studies like these that help us as sales managers and sales directors to understand how we need to shape up for future business opportunities.

Author: Cate Gutowski Failure is something we don’t talk about enough in business. In fact, it’s practically a four-letter word. In the industrial world, we’re trained that failure equals incompetence, which equals…out of a job. Yet, Silicon Valley startups teach us that failure is cool. Some even wear it as a badge of honor. In the software world, failure equals cool, which equals job security.

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca. I find too many sales people, despite the image they may project, are way too conservative in their approach to selling. While this may not be a pronounced issue for those tasked with managing or servicing current accounts, with the only expectation being “organic” growth. What is organic growth any way, is that like growth we would have gotten even without any help from the account manager, or is the level of growth achieved even with the meddl

By Tibor Shanto. It seems many in sales feel the best way to show how smart they are, is to have all the answers at the ready, and feel compelled to bark an answer as soon as the prospect asks, sometimes even before. I would suggest that even when you know the answer, no element of doubt, offering it up like a candy dispenser, will not lead to the prospect thinking you are smart by virtue of knowing answer, and certainly does not guarantee the deal.

What’s the number one blow off prospects use these days? “Can you email that to me?” If you think about it, that’s the perfect stall. They aren’t saying no, and it implies that you will need to talk to them later… Unfortunately, later becomes never as chasing down busy professionals – especially people who now don’t want to be followed up with – becomes nearly impossible.

I’m sure majority of people have heard the Chinese proverb “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This, of course, means it’s more worthwhile to teach someone to do something (for themselves) than to do it for them (on an ongoing basis).

You download that white paper, and because it’s gated, you’re required to fill out a lead capture form – your name, email address, Company, title, location, phone number, name of first born…Worse, you know you’re immediately going to get that lame phone call or email follow-up: “I see you downloaded our white paper, want to talk?”. Today you need more than “digital body language” from your marketing automation platform (MAP) to effectively engage with prospects.

Your prospects want to succeed as much as you do. And they want to boost their companies — and hopefully their own careers — in the process. So, if your offer will help them succeed, why wouldn’t they call you back immediately and sign now? If something’s good for you, surely you should want it! Your prospect has a tough job. She must convince her organization and relevant stakeholders (the proverbial average of 5.5 internal stakeholders ) that change is a good thing.

When a deal stalls, it’s tempting for the salesperson to unknowingly put themselves first. We’ve all been guilty of it at one time or another. You might repeat the close, not-so-subtly threaten the prospect with an expiring discount, or roll several asks into one conversation. These tactics are a surefire way to turn stalled deals into cold ones. Below, I’ve outlined six strategies for moving stalled deals forward.
