What you cannot see can kill you. If you don't see the car to your right about to run a stop sign, you might be in trouble. If you cannot see a clogged artery, you might be in trouble. If you cannot see that your sales team is failing to execute the fundamentals of an effective sales approach, then surely that will kill your chances for sales effectiveness and consistent sales growth.

I believe that “24” was the best Television series I have ever watched. Although it ran from 2003-2010, long before streaming was a thing, no show was better situated for streaming and binge watching than “24.” My wife and I watched it for the first time a few years ago but we recently watched all eight seasons again. It was amazing to both of us that despite how much we loved “24” the first time we watched it, we didn’t remember any of it as we watched

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible.

I was struck by this sentence in a LI post today, “We are doing everything right, but nothing’s working!” I see variants of this every day: We’re doing everything right, it’s not working as well… We’re doing exactly what made us successful in the past, it’s no longer working… We’re doing what everyone else is doing, and what we have always done, it’s not producing the same results… We’re doing everything we’ve al

Perhaps best of all, share of search is also a really good proxy for understanding your market share.

Typically, I take controversial positions on GTM, selling, leadership and other business issues. I have cautiously avoided writing about anything that could be construed as “political.” I can no longer stand by silently. It would be irresponsible, I have to speak out. Frankly, I don’t care about the consequences, because speaking out, and encouraging others to do the same (regardless of views) has never been more important.
