The Power of Setting and Achieving Goals. New Year resolutions are nothing more than rhetoric. Despite the initial eagerness you may feel for the goals you have set, that enthusiasm tends to wane over time, often leaving you right back to where you started. Studies indicate that only 8-12 percent of people fulfill their goal-setting resolutions. Sure, your desire to achieve the goal is real.

To reach your goals as a sales manager, you need your team to hit their targets. Hitting those targets requires them to create new opportunities with existing clients and win new logos. When a salesperson logs a new opportunity in your CRM, you don't know whether they will win or lose the deal. You don't know if the new opportunity is real or another first conversation that is the salesperson's last conversation.

Lifetime value is what you expect a client to spend with you over the course of your relationship. Let's assume a large client has a lifetime value of $1,000,000. To reach that number, your client could spend $100,000 with you each year for 10 years. Avoiding churn is one way to achieve this with their clients; however, it is just the first step in maximizing lifetime value.

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. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

A trigger event is something that forces a company to change. For example, at the time of this writing, the Federal Reserve has raised the Fed Fund rate to the highest level in many decades. This is a trigger event for real estate agents, mortgage banks, and title companies. Real estate agents will have to change how they find potential buyers, mortgage banks may have to develop new lending programs, and title companies may be forced to take a little more time off.

The main outcome of discovery for most salespeople is to identify the client's problem and its impact. The reason the salesperson needs a problem is that in absence of a problem, there is no need for their "solution," a word designed to inflate a product or a service into something both the salesperson and their prospective client believes to be greater.

Selling is a “slight edge business.” By that, we mean that the line that separates high performers from mediocre performers is usually a very small difference. There is very little you can control in selling. You can’t make prospects take your call. You can’t make prospects agree to meet with you. You can’t make them move forward in your sales process and you certainly can’t make them buy from you.
