Developing Master Sales Coaches. Do you have a team of master sales coaches? Are your sales managers ready to crush it in 2020 or will it be another frustrating, mediocre 12-months? Most sales managers lack the skills, tools and methodology to effectively coach their team so the reps just try to ‘wing it’ as best they can. Unfortunately, as you know, this won’t maximize your sales nor improve the competencies of your sales team.

“Never underestimate the laziness of buyers.”. That was the advice a mentor gave me. He was someone I trusted, respected, and would take all of his suggestions and put them into play. Yet this advice was very offending to me because I’ve never considered my buyers or my clients as lazy people. No, they’re hardworking, they’re really smart, and they care about what they’re doing.

A consultative selling approach is key to running a well-oiled sales team. To me, the difference between a traditional sales process and a consultative one looks a bit like the difference between a doctor and a therapist. What Is Consultative Selling? Rather than telling your prospects what they need, consultative selling is an investigative approach by which prospects are engaged with thought-provoking questions that help them identify their own pain points.

Someone tried to suck me into a LinkedIn discussion on cold calling today. The article declaring cold calling dead was written by a colleague I deeply respect, and I have no disagreement with the points in her article. By the time another friend tried to bait me into diving into the discussion, it had been live for 18 hours, there were over 75 reactions and over 52 comments, with many very smart and dull people weighing in.

With over 660 million members , LinkedIn is undoubtedly one of the most relevant social platforms for sales professionals. We’re able to connect with buyers in just a few clicks, but the question is, are we taking full advantage of this platform to engage our audience and build relationships? Traditional social selling is too focused on selling. Our inboxes are filled with unsolicited LinkedIn messages from sellers trying to push their products and services.

I read an article from a very large consulting company entitled, “Have you made it safe to fail?” Frankly, it’s social psycho-babble. It’s the equivalent of saying, “everyone gets a trophy, regardless of whether they win or lose.” The article will draw eyeballs, but I think they miss the point, consequently much of the value around failure.

Q: What can you do to lower your customers churn rate? A few basic thoughts: Have every customer have a named customer success rep. Every customer. Yes, this is hard if your price point is low.
