We tend to overcomplicate things, particularly selling and leadership. Billions are spent on training of all sorts. Billions are spent on tools, content, consultants. Each has their own approach, models, techniques. Each emphasizes certain things. We might focus narrowly on prospecting, or account planning, or developing better deal strategies. Some focus on skills like objection handling, closing, negotiation.

Well before the age of coronavirus — it seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? — we were seeing a steady, rapid increase in sales teams who were transitioning to remote work. And for good reason: It can benefit everyone. Employees, especially millennials , appreciate the flexibility to work from anywhere, and sales orgs open themselves up to a much larger pool of talent when they’re not limited to hiring locally.

The tough truth is from 0.5–1.5 sales cycles. Sales is tough. It’s a lot of No’s to get to a Yes. And while sales is pretty similar in SaaS at a given price point / ACV, different products are still different to sel l. A rep good at one product can fail at selling another. Training and support matter. Not all reps can work with the limited support, onboarding and training you get at a start-up.

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.

No, I’m not making a political statement about our agricultural sector. Farmers and farming are what brings food to all of us. Possibly one of the most destructive concepts ever introduced into sales is the concept of hunters and farmers. It establishes a go to market strategy that, according to research, doesn’t really work, and absolves sales people of the responsibility for prospecting and constantly looking for new business.

When I graduated from college a few years ago, there were a couple of lessons that stuck with me. First, as a journalism student, I was taught to never write a conclusion for an article. While this became a habit, it's something I've had to unlearn as a marketing writer because you need to write a conclusion in your blog posts. Second, in my screenwriting class, I learned that every sentence you write should either move your story forward or reveal information.

During summer, my favorite time of day was when the ice cream truck would drive on our street. Usually, I didn't know what I wanted. If I had saved enough money, I'd order a push-up (am I dating myself, or is this still offered?), the rocket popsicle, and an ice cream sandwich. Little did I know, I was actually conducting an A/B/n test. I wanted to taste several flavors -- not just two.
