Every prospect’s needs and desires are unique. In some cases, you may not want to cross-sell or up-sell at all. Other times, it may make sense to use just one method or the other. However, if a scenario presents itself in which you can employ both cross-selling and up-selling in tandem, by all means do it. Not only will you maximize revenue, but you’ll also show your prospect that you are capable of providing a more intelligent solution.

If you’re responsible for designing or implementing sales training for your organization, you know the effectiveness of training varies greatly. It might not be implemented properly, land well with participants, relevant to sellers’ daily work, or it might be forgotten completely in the days and weeks following the training.

On a coaching call last week, a manager and I were discussing a seller new to his team. On pulling up this person’s sales assessment, all I could think was, “WOW! Look at all that talent!” This person was strong across the board. So much potential. Unfortunately, this seller was definitely not reaching their potential. Struggling, not making budget, not willing to learn, and a poor attitude.

The foundation for most successful go-to-market teams is data — but not just any data will do. B2B sales and marketing teams need reliable firmographic profiles of their target accounts that will stay up-to-date amid the rapid pace of change in business. Sourcing a continuous stream of reliable business data isn’t a straightforward process. Data teams continue to struggle with outdated records and fragmented systems that, at best, result in unpredictable sales outcomes.

We’ve all heard the adage that it can cost five times more to land a new customer than it does to maintain an existing one. For many B2B go-to-market teams, this rings true — as long as it’s the right customer. Sustainable revenue growth comes when you engage with the best-fit accounts that have the potential to grow over time. And growing a customer account takes special care.

Since retailers get most of their business from local consumers, it’s important for them to know where they are and what they are buying. The process through which this data is extracted is called location mapping. The retail industry had taken a huge hit during the pandemic but is steadily recovering now.
