Have you ever been working on a deal where you had this feeling, this intuition, this Spidey sense—something in the back of your mind telling you that this wasn't going to close? That you were going to waste your time? Maybe you had one of the stakeholders who was against you—an enemy. There was a naysayer who kept calling you out. Perhaps the stakeholders weren't engaged, or the incumbent vendor was so integrated into the organization that it would be very difficult to displace them.

I know what you’re thinking from my title: Baseball Gods meet in the Garden of Eden. Thankfully, no. Instead, some thoughts from the weekend… While sitting in Church I realized that belief in God is a lot like belief in the sales process. It’s about Faith. Everyone who attends believes in God. Some believe in God but do not attend. Some are there every week.

Here's a question that exposes one of the most dangerous myths in modern sales: How do you set the right pipeline creation target to consistently hit quota?

The Power of Preparation and Clear Goals In the world of sales, the discovery call is often misunderstood. It’s not a stage to skim through so you can hurry up and pitch. It’s not a warm-up act for your demo. It’s the moment where the trajectory of your entire sales process is defined. And here’s the thing: the strength of that trajectory is directly tied to how well you prepare, and how clearly you define your goal for the call.

Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.

We all want a sales process that flows like a well-oiled machine, predictably turning prospects into loyal customers. Yet, for many organizations, the sales process feels more like a leaky bucket, with opportunities, efforts, and revenue constantly seeping away. Why? Because the cracks often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Perhaps you first noticed some inconsistencies in CRM data or anecdotal evidence that there wasn’t a universally agreed-upon ICP.

Every sales rep has experienced it: a promising lead vanishes just when you think the deal is within reach. You sent the whitepaper, scheduled the demo, and even answered technical questions—yet radio silence follows. What went wrong? Often, it’s not a lack of effort but a failure to decode buying signals and purchase intent early enough. Recognizing these lead intent signals can transform your pipeline from guesswork into a predictable revenue engine.

What is an apathetic customer? Dictionary.com defines apathy as absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement. What apathy is not, is an objection. Therefore, salespeople should quit treating it as such. In the resting phase of the buying lifecycle, you’re going to run up against the apathetic customer. That’s someone who is fully or partially satisfied with their current business solution and doesn’t have the mental bandwidth for seeing the value a salesperson is proposing.
