By Tibor Shanto. While the calendar may not agree, Labor Day, from a sales standpoint, is the end of Summer. Vacations over, back to work, finishing the year and setting the table for next year. While this year is no different, there is greater anticipation in light of vaccine and people’s back to work attitude. Much more than in other years, it is important to get ahead of things, and take steps to prepare for the post Labor Day sprint.

I think playing it safe is the riskiest thing you can do as a business leader—and being subtle is boring. Customers don’t pick up on subtleties. They’re bombarded with too many types of messages and ads every day to notice you if you’re doing what everyone else is doing. Which means, if you want to stand out, you have to do so in a way that isn’t subtle. .

Time-management is one of the trickiest aspects of sales. On any given day, salespeople must decide where to focus their attention, and given the limited number of hours we all have to work with, spending time on something that won’t move the needle can be one of the most counterproductive things a professional seller can do. This becomes even more challenging when we’re spending time working with (or chasing) a prospect.

As sales and marketing people, the concept of “Value Proposition” has become fundamental in our positioning in our markets and with our customers. The concept of the value proposition can be traced back, apparently, to a McKinsey paper written in 1988, and to Norton and Kaplan’s work in the early 90’s (I was surprised by this, I thought the concept predated this by some years.).

Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
