In many organizations, user research creates friction. It directly challenges the intuition of others, often at the highest levels. It slows product development. It costs money. It has no clear ROI. But it’s also essential— 89 percent of customers stop doing business with a company after a bad experience. User research delivers the quantitative and qualitative insights to improve those experiences.

Dominating your competition today is not a “nice-to-have,” it’s a necessity. The battleground for competitive differentiation has shifted. The name of the game used to be having a unique product. Now, that’s nothing more than a ticket to play the game. It’s hardly a winning strategy by itself ( read more about why that is here ). Instead, sales conversations — what salespeople say, do, and write during the sales process — are where the perception of difference is c

Most sales people agree that planning ahead of time for important sales calls is a precursor for successful call outcomes.

By Jeff Shore. All too often, the sale is lost before it ever really gets started. Too many sales professionals practice bad habits right out of the gate, seriously jeopardizing their chances of success. Here are three common sales mistakes that get made in the first half-minute of far too many sales conversations. 1. Lack of a Clear Outcome. This isn’t so much a technique problem as it is a mindset problem.

I’ve always looked at sales as a mind game because there is so much planning and strategy involved. One could even say sales is a lot like golf. You’d never hit the ball until you analyze and reflect on the lie, wind speed, distance and direction and a hundred other variables on each hole; and plan how you’re going to reach your ultimate goal.Even the best planned strategy must constantly flex to overcome the next unexpected challenge or opportunity.

Social selling is part activity and part reputation. If you're writing insightful comments on your prospects' blogs, responding to their tweets, and liking their shared content, you've got the activity bit down pat. But if your LinkedIn profile is three jobs behind and features a picture of you from prom, you can't really call yourself a social seller.

I often hear people say; God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. This fun little phrase is used to argue the point that salespeople need to listen more and talk less. I get the point, but it’s not accurate from my perspective. What it really should suggest is that people should tell less, not talk less. Telling is very different than talking.

Sales managers have limited opportunity to observe sales reps in real-time. We don’t mean creeping looking over their shoulder, but rather observing reps to identify coaching opportunities. Managers have a busy schedule. Between running a sales team, reviewing metrics, and other daily tasks it’s not uncommon for coaching to take a backseat. That’s why taking a data-driven approach to sales coaching is vital.

In high school, one of my friends was determined to find the perfect time to post her Instagram photos to maximize the amount of likes she got. She was surprisingly scientific about it, posting at different times of the day and jotting down each of her posts’ “likes per minute”. After weeks of testing, she figured out which post time raked in the most likes, and, from then on, she could easily get 200 likes on all her Instagram posts.
