Sales is changing. There is no debating it. There are a number of changes in sales today that impact our ability to be successful and make our numbers. These changes are changing the way we connect with prospects, differentiate ourselves from the competition, and position our products and services. The sales people, leaders and organizations that understand and embrace these changes will be far better positioned to meet their numbers than those who don’t.

As sales professionals, we are supposed to be masters of effective communication, yet too many times we overlook even the simplest of issues. We’ve sent the customer some information–we assume the read it. We’ve sent the customer some information–we assume they understand it. We’ve sent the customer information and assume it addresses their needs, because we believe it addresses their needs.

We measure a lot of things in sales. Some sales organizations are fanatical about metrics, others not so much. Either way, measurement is part of sales. It’s what makes sales such a unique monster. There is no place to hide. Sales is an objective environment. With all the measuring sales does, there has been one measurement that rarely shows up on our dashboards.

Where do we find new deals? How do we get customers energnized about the deals we are talking to them about? How do we unstick stalled deals? What about those “no decisions?” These are the top issues I hear from sales professionals every day. They’re tough challenges. I think one of the root causes of these challenges is the conversations we have with our customers (if we even are having a conversation, rather than pitching).

I recently read Paul Gillin and Eric Schwartzman’s book: “Social Marketing to the Business Customer” I liked the book (so much so that I wrote an Amazon recommendation) for a number of reasons. First, I like the format. The book is broken down into three sections: Tools, Technology, Tactics. I also liked that it is a very readable book (about 240 pages, lots of statistics, pictures…).

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.

Justin Shriber, Regional Vice President, CRM On Demand, at Oracle just delivered the best presentation at Sales 2.0 Conference so far. Justin kicked off his presentation with a joke about a ship captain who wore a red shirt so his crew wouldn’t see him bleed when they were fighting pirates, who also had brown pants for when the odds were stacked against them.

Today I was asked the question, “Do you have to keep qualifying through the sales process?” It’s a good question–one that is too often ignored. Before answering this, let me back up a moment and start at the beginning of the sales process. I’ve often written that we make a mistake in the qualification phase of the sales process–we focus on qualifying the customer.

The elevator pitch has been the cornerstone of sales for years. We’re constantly asked and challenged to share what we do or what we sell in a compelling, succinct manner in less than 30 seconds. The amount of time you might have if you met someone in the elevator and had to get their attention before they got to their floor. The elevator pitch isn’t dead, but it’s certainly morphing.

I was reading an interesting discussion on customer loyalty at Focus.com. The responses focused on great customer service. This matches my experience when I talk to executives worldwide. It’s what most customers cite when questions about how they make buying decisions. Sometimes, I wonder if all of us, customers included are missing the point.

I suppose, to expect the act of selling to be at a minimum during this weeks Sales and Marketing 2.0 Conference was a bit naive. What should I have expected from conference attended by a few hundred sales and marketing people? This was my first Sales 2.0 Conference and I didn’t know what to expect. My hope was to learn something new. Using that as my success metric, the conference underwhelmed.

That’s the $64K question for all sales people. Who’s the decision-maker and how do we get access to her? Conventional sales wisdom tells us to focus on the top, prowling the halls of the executive suite, trying to develop relationships with the CxO. Finding that decision-maker, persuading him that we have the right solution and getting a favorable decision is the “Holy Grail” for sales people.

A technique called " like-gating " is becoming more and more widely used as a way to generate new Facebook fans -- and not without some critics. The idea is that you offer exclusive content to those who 'like' your business' Facebook page, but only if they like the page. The problem? How are your prospects supposed to know if they want to like the page if they don't know what the content is like?
