DiscoverOrg Sales
AUGUST 29, 2017
Yesterday, we announced to our employees and customers that DiscoverOrg has acquired RainKing. This blog is more personal than business – it’s the story of how two companies pushed each other to be better, how that competition changed me as a leader, and why I couldn’t be more excited about our future. I remember the first time I heard of RainKing.

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca. If you follow my blog you know that I am firmly in the camp that see and approaches sales more as a science executed artfully , rather than free form art like many do. As with most things, success is rarely found in absolutes, it is usually about a norm derived from trial and error, and experiencing success and failure first hand.

Author: Hazel Butters Why does your business exist? It may seem an easy enough question, but you’d be surprised by how many marketers and salespeople can’t provide a simple answer. Sadly, when your own salespeople can’t articulate your business vision, it has a direct impact on business success…. Vision is vital.

But how many emails do you get that are paired up with a voicemail? Probably very few.

When you call someone for the first time, it can be a bit unnerving to get their voicemail. But it needn’t be, if you prepare effectively. It always surprises me how many salespeople are not prepared for voicemail. These days, buyers are busier than ever, and even if they are available, may put their phones through to voicemail, simply because they don’t have time to take calls.

Use time wisely and focus - a bit of advice given to me by a wise sales manager many years ago. The world of sales is made up of distractions, sound bytes, lists of important things to accomplish, and “noise” - you need to focus on activities that lead to revenue before you do anything else.

Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970) was an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, culminating in self-actualization. In 1943 Maslow stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs and that some needs take precedence over others.

Author: Paul Nolan Last spring, after checking out the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, my daughter and I enjoyed a beautiful day rambling through the city’s downtown shopping district. It was the first time I’d visited the city, and as I walked past one restaurant after another that I wished I was hungry enough to try, I kept thinking to myself how much fun it would be to attend a meeting there and share that experience with coworkers.

Words do matter. Take for example the words honor and honesty. Which word appeals to you more than the other? For me, honor is a far stronger word both emotionally and intellectually. Honesty, beyond being overused like many other words in society, has less emotional intelligence and less intellectual depth. In a recent conversation with a colleague, he suggested the word honesty is a better word than honor.
