Remember back in pre-pandemic days when sales teams conducted lavish SKOs in person, perhaps with an option to dial in? Things are a bit different today. Some organizations are returning to in-person sales kickoffs, some are holding exclusively virtual events, and others turning to some form of hybrid event. Either way, the same challenge remains: How can you deliver an engaging SKO that spurs reps on into the new fiscal year?

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.

Trust is fundamental in any highly engaged, high-performing team. Without trust and integrity, people question why they want to work for a company or manager who doesn’t have convictions. When asked, highly engaged employees describe their companies and leaders as “authentic” or “genuine.”. Building trust takes time. Whether in person or virtually, it can take months or years to build a solid base of trust, but it takes just minutes to lose it.

As we discussed in yesterday’s blog , too many of your prospects are fascinated with Simple Payback Period, and it makes NO sense to focus on that metric in situations where you’re comparing mutually exclusive solutions (i.e., situations where your prospect has two or more solutions to pick from, but at the end of the day can pick only one).

By Beverlie Heyman, Bigtincan/Brainshark Director of Sales Enablement and WiSE Chapter Lead/Enablement Strategist/Coach. Who do you trust more — your boss or your colleague? Your mom or your sister? Your friend who’s the top student in the class or the teacher? People tend to be more receptive to advice from their peers than from authority figures or those outside of their direct circles.

All sales organizations want to sell more products. This will be as true in the future as it was in the past. Of course, one way is to hire more sales reps. But with the time and cost of recruiting, onboarding, and training new reps, this can be prohibitive. Another way is through channel sales or third-party partners. While direct selling has its advantages, it’s not always enough for today’s changing markets.

It’s a tale as old as time. Marketing creates content. Sales ignores the content. Sales reps create their own content, which is slightly incorrect or off message. Sales is annoyed, while marketing is frustrated—maybe even a little sad. Leaders from both sides say this must stop. “Everyone get on the same page on this,” they say. The two sides try collaborating, but the problem persists.

Sometimes, I think we think about value too restrictively. . Historically, we tended to focus value as something we did exclusively “for” customers. As sellers we know that value creation and realization are critical in engaging our customers. In recent years, we’ve started looking at value creation more broadly. We’ve started looking at it as a collaborative process, working with our customers.

When you’re doing it right, recruiting the best candidates for your open salesperson positions can take weeks or even months. That’s not even factoring in the costs of not having someone close new business while the position is vacant, the money lost during onboarding, and the risk of losing the new hire if they or your team determine they’re not the best fit for the job.

How many times have you had this exchange with prospects? You say, “Hey there, how are you?” They respond, “I’m good, thanks. And you?" You say, “I’m good too, thanks for asking.”. Zzzzzzz. There’s nothing wrong with kicking off a conversation by asking how someone is doing, but it definitely won’t lead to any memorable dialogue. When you’ve only got a couple minutes to build rapport with someone, you don’t want to waste time on conversational fluff.
