Sell Integrity

OCTOBER 28, 2020

Values statements are helpful, but they’re not nearly enough. The “culture champions” — those organizations that make integrity a way of doing business — are the ones that stand apart from the rest. The Value Of Integrity. How important is integrity in business? In its Culture 500 Index , MIT Sloan Management Review/Glassdoor includes integrity as one of the ‘Big 9’ values — those values that are most frequently cited and that “are linked to a variety of desirable outcomes like finan

Winning large business contracts leads to increased revenue — but selling solely to large enterprises isn’t necessarily sustainable for a sales strategy. Though it may not seem like it, selling to SMBs can benefit you in the long run. One of its benefits includes connecting directly to primary decision makers instead of dealing with groups of buyers and chains of execs.

The gatherings might be smaller and more localized, but the holiday won't pass by without us.

By Tibor Shanto. Helping people to reconnect with things they have moved on from can be an effective way to start conversations. In all group decisions we do things for the greater whole, but that does not mean we have completely abandoned the idea or desire for it. If you are willing to do the work, and reviewed wins, losses, and draws in greater detail, you could learn to deal with objections differently.

By Tibor Shanto. Salespeople spend a lot of time looking for people to make decisions. Yet often the biggest decision impacting their success needs to be made by them. But most salespeople and people in general, find it easier to rationalize. Easier to live with the consequences of might-have-beens, than the consequences of their actions. While others may have a hand in deciding the outcome, only you control how it all starts, if it starts.

Decay is natural. If you leave anything alone for too long, it will age and, usually, become outdated. When it comes to data, this process is considerably speedier. Data decay happens naturally (and often) due to how regularly people change jobs, titles, companies and beyond. Because of this, many organizations are working with a B2B database that is outdated, invalid, or incomplete.

A sale will never happen until the status quo is challenged in some way. Perhaps, the customer has experienced problems or challenges. Perhaps they are discovering new opportunities they want to pursue. They decide to change, initiating, among other things, a buying journey. Too often, the customer doesn’t recognize the need to change. They are too busy to notice things could be better.

Receiving permission makes literally anything less intrusive — no matter the context. Think about it. If someone enters your home with permission, they're a guest. If someone enters your home without your permission, they're breaking and entering. That principle — the value of receiving permission — is the underlying premise of a brand of sales known as permission-based selling.
