“I don’t have time for any distractions,” a CEO replied many years ago to my sales call. His comment was impactful because it made me think about my sales approach. I thought of myself as a helpful, well-intentioned sales professional. This CEO viewed me as a distraction. That ignited my life-long interest in influence and how decision-makers view sales professionals.

Buyer-first mentality is simply defined as it’s a buyer’s world, and sellers are just living in it. In the past, traditional sellers could easily come in and build a case because they were a superstar, had great product knowledge, and were able to support the buyer’s organization. In essence, they were selling what they could accomplish for the client without ever knowing anything about them.

Converting leads into clients isn’t always the simplest task. It takes work to find a company in your target audience and gradually transform that company into a lead, and from there into a paying customer. That process is called the buyer’s journey, and it’s facilitated by sales pipelines. For a business-to-business (B2B) company like yours, it’s helpful to have a specific structure to your sales pipeline.

A sales consultant who knows that I geek out on sales data read that 84% of salespeople suck because they don't enjoy what they do. A huge percentage of salespeople do actually suck but the actual number is closer to 75%. Is it really because they don't enjoy selling? Most of the data I write about comes from Objective Management Group which has assessed more than 2.3 million salespeople.

Creating Powerful Development Plans It’s the annual performance review (APR) time again. APR is a time-consuming process for the sales leadership team. It takes a lot of time to write up and give each review. If you take the traditional approach of spending 80% of your time reviewing the past year and 20% on goals for the new year, you will have missed one of the biggest opportunities to supercharge your team.

I read an important article by Elizabeth Spiers, Layoffs by Email Show What Employers Really Think of Their Workers. Please take the time to read it, it’s more important than this post. In the past year, we’ve seen 100’s of thousands of layoffs, particularly in technology segments.

Go for No!
JANUARY 31, 2023
Go for No is a sales and marketing strategy that encourages individuals and teams to embrace rejection as a necessary step toward success. In sales, going for no is typically a one-on-one (or small team) endeavor. You make an ask, you get an answer. From a marketing perspective, you can get a ton of “implicit” nos. Meaning, people don’t say no, but they don’t take action, either.
