I began debunking sales articles when the first ones predicting the death of selling appeared circa 2008. Back then, new digital marketing companies were telling everyone that salespeople would be replaced by inbound marketing. "Inbound is King," they said. Later, articles predicting the end of selling became both more prolific and more specific including the certain death of: Solution Selling Cold Calling Consultative Selling Sales Process SPIN Selling and more.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

“ You get what you’re looking for.” It’s just one of dozens of “Jeanette-isms” I heard from my mom when growing up. And now as an adult, I can see how true this statement is. We do get what we’re looking for in many life circumstances, and in sales efforts. Here’s how I see it coming into play in sales situations, especially when faced with concerns or objections during our sales conversations.

Many salespeople waste too much time on prospects with little to no chance of converting. Meanwhile, the good prospects they should’ve focused on have already gone cold. This is why sales qualification is so important — it helps you identify and prioritize prospects more likely to become buyers. How do you know if a potential customer is a good fit for your solution?

Sometimes our success limits our thinking about what we could be achieving. We think we are doing well, but we really should be doing so much more. I’ve written, often, about how we “settle” for win rates of 15-20% and are happy achieving our growth goals. While these organizations are hitting their targets, and sometimes with aggressive YoY scaling, they should be doing so much more!

What a question. A very brave question to ask yourself. And here’s a few more questions to reflect on: What’s in the way of you having the level of success that you want?

Time Available For Selling is a critical issue for everyone in sales. But there are many things, both necessary and unnecessary, that distract from that time. Thinking of sellers chained to their desks, constantly on Zoom, telephone, or other meetings. Constantly doing email and social outreach, is unrealistic and unreasonable. But before I go into a further discussion about time available for selling, let me first define how I look at time available for selling.

The average buyer in this day and age is shrewd — naturally skeptical of salespeople and having certain standards reps have to measure up to. That makes establishing credibility central to the success of any sales effort. But maintaining that kind of trustworthiness and legitimacy over multiple sales conversations can be easier said than done — a lot of reps run into hitches, hiccups, and human errors that undermine their credibility with prospects.
