Some people believe salespeople are born, while others believe they are made. Thanks to certain personality traits, some people sell easily; however, those who lack those traits can succeed in sales, even if it isn’t easy or natural for them. In both cases, a new B2B sales rep must get through the learning curve.

It wasn’t the salesperson’s fault. He was young and unprepared , wearing a ball cap with his tech company’s logo and a pullover, also sporting the company’s logo.

Yes, I know the majority of you, justifiably, will think this title is an oxymoron. Something like jumbo shrimp, virtual reality, exact estimate, definite maybe, short meetings, job security, detailed summary, Microsoft Works (oops). This impression is reinforced by the imitative behaviors we constantly see in selling, focused on doing more of what we know doesn’t work, but doing it because that’s what everyone does.

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.

I’ve undergone two brain surgeries. The first was to glue a large mass of arteries and veins shut and the second was to remove the damaged blood vessels and a bruised part of my brain to prevent seizures.

We have often explored the conflicting views of salespeople. Sometimes they are loved, but often they are seen as pushy, unfriendly, and greedy. This negative connotation is often seen in movies and media. A prominent example is the movie Glengarry Glen Ross , in which the salespeople are portrayed as obnoxious, conniving, cheating, and constantly complaining about their leads.

If you believe that selling is difficult, try buying. To get a better sense of the buyer’s burden, draw on empathy, a critical soft skill in sales. There is a concept used in geopolitics called strategic empathy, which is the antidote to strategic narcissism.

When you are in an airplane, you may or may not pay much attention to what is going on in the cockpit.

Since the earliest days of selling, our vision is to free up sellers time to sell! Ideally, we’d like them to spend 100% of their time working with prospects and customers, helping them navigate their buying processes. But things keep creeping in, some valuable, some wastes of time. But they infringe on our dream of having sellers working 7×24 with customers.

Most of the time, as sellers, we focus on our self interests. As a result we spend a lot of time looking at our selling process and the things we want to do to our customers. We focus on the things that drive our success, perhaps not really understanding what the customer is trying to achieve and their success. Sometimes, though rarely, we think about their buying process.
