People hardly buy anything without seeing it. Usually they also want to touch it, hold it and take it for a spin. You really can’t do those things online (unless it’s web based software). So to compensate for all of that, you need to work twice as hard to make your products come alive via excellent photography and graphics. I know of a guy selling construction hardware online.

So this is what’s happening this morning. I start the morning looking at email. Craig Rosenberg of Focus.com has posed an interesting question: “Isn’t sending an unsolicited email to someone the same thing as cold-calling them?” There’s an interesting discussion with thoughtful responses from people I respect. The responses are trending to “Yes it is the same, and it’s bad practice.” Hmm, interesting… I keep going through my email.

crit-i-cal: -involving skillful judgment as to truth, merit, etc.; judicial: a critical analysis . Are you critical of your customers and prospects? Do you skillfully judge them? Do you critique their environment, their choices, their current solutions, their approach? You should, it’s the only way to make a difference. Being critical or critiquing your customers and prospects allows opportunities to be found, problems to be uncovered, waste to be spotted, growth to be identified, etc.

It looks like the marketer's cry for more data has reached YouTube's ears, and not too long after Facebook beefed up its analytics with new features for Facebook Insights. While YouTube had previously offered an Insights tool that let you view data for videos on your channel, the Google-owned online video giant announced on its blog this morning that, over the course of today, it will be replacing your YouTube Insights with YouTube Analytics.

That’s what I hear from lot’s of sales people—not in the meetings, but when we’re having a cup of coffee or a quiet one on one. To a large degree, I agree with them–but for completely different reasons. Too often, sales processes are designed, implemented, and mandated from the top down. The sales process is put in place to respond to management’s (legitimate) need to understand the state of the business—whether it’s a deal or an opportunity.

A great excerpt from the book The Challenger Sale : This is a great story and is exactly how people should approach selling. When I was an individual contributor, this is exactly what got my blood flowing and got me pumped up. This is the compelling element of sales for me. It’s where the challenge lies. The senior member of the company’s sales leadership team told us the story of a rep who was struggling to gain traction with a prospective customer.

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.

Video content can be a valuable asset in your inbound marketing content mix. In fact, by 2013, 90% of internet traffic is expected to be video. But getting people to sit through your videos can be challenging, considering 33% of viewers say "no thank you" and move on after watching just 30 seconds. 44% lose interest and leave at the 1-minute mark, and 60% bail on your video after 2 minutes.

People judge books by the cover and other people by their looks. Take a look at these 2 men: Now answer these questions (you can’t choose “neither”): Which one would you rather ask investment advice from? Which one would you rather have babysit your children? Which one would you rather have cook your dinner? … and so on. You don’t know anything about these men.

The other day, someone called me. He wanted to pick my brain (feeble pickings) for some ideas and ask for some help. I was delighted with the call, both because he’s a prospect, and it was ego gratifying to be asked for the advice. But the call ended up being a waste of time–mine and the prospect’s. See, the problem was the multitasking being done by the prospect.

I’ve worn pink ski goggles for over 7 years now. Why? I thought the pink was really frickin’ cool. How many men do you know wear pink ski goggles? Based on my statistically inaccurate poll, taken from the ski lifts every year the answer is; -Men over 30: zero. -Men (Boys) under 30 a few hundred and the number seems to be increasing year over year.

The average person correlates hard with like. If it’s hard it’s not something to like. This is an unfortunate correlation. Hard means it’s new, different, unfamiliar, outside of our comfort zone. When things get hard it means we are growing. When things become hard, that’s when the learning begins. If it’s not hard, there is no learning.

There's a lot of buzz around whether marketing automation software is worth the investment of time and money, or whether it's a waste. Here's the thing: marketing automation can be a really great complement to your inbound marketing strategy IF it's used correctly. Many marketers, however, have come to believe some things about marketing automation that simply aren't true, which leads to misuse of the software and ultimately ends in a lot of disappointment and dismal results.

“Selling has changed more in the past 3 years than in it’s cumulative history.” states Dave Stein of ESResearch. I couldn’t agree more, but would tinker with that a little, “Buying has changed more in the past 3 years than in the cumulative history of buying.” While it may seem a small point, I think it may more clearly illustrate the problem I think is happening in sales.
