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.

By Amy O’Connor. When sales teams aren’t performing up to standards or expectations, sales leaders are often puzzled as to why. Sales leaders know the correct behaviors that will lead to sales – rapport building, discovery, creating the experience, closing, follow-up, etc., but they often don’t know how to get their sales people to perform those behaviors (or perform those behaviors up to acceptable standards).

I curled over the kitchen island in my home. My wife rubbed my shoulders. A searing pain shot through my upper back and along both sides of my neck. The pain was nothing new. By this point, I had seen 24 medical professionals to try and solve this strange health mystery that I had been living with for about 8 months. It was truly a living hell to wake up every day and be in so much pain that I couldn’t even go to the gym and lift weights like any active 31-year-old male should be able to do.

Like Nancy, a lot of sales professionals are fairly weak when it comes to follow-up.

How effective are salespeople when it comes to creating urgency? I'm not talking about salespeople who create urgency by telling their prospects that if they don't order today the price will go up or it won't be available. I'm talking about salespeople who create urgency by asking questions to uncover problems, the consequences and cost of which, create urgency.

If you asked most people what activity they associated most with sales, I’d guess that many of them would respond the same way: Closing. And it’d be no surprise. For one thing, it’s the most visible part of the sales process -- all of us have been closed at one time or another, whether we’re buying a new vacuum cleaner or a new Learjet. For another, there’s nothing sexy about prospecting or discovery calls.

Success begins with setting goals. Without goals, your team lacks the key elements it needs to win — a direction to follow and the encouragement to stay motivated in sales. In contrast, goals lend clarity and purpose to your organization. They enable your team to track collective and individual performance. Goals also help assess the efficiency of tools and methods, and formulate strategies for improvement or growth.

When was the last time you replied to a generic sales email that had a boring subject line, listed vague features but promised no benefits, and lacked personalization? You probably can’t remember, because you probably never have replied to an email like that. If you want to hear back from the leads you’re prospecting, you need to strike a balance between writing up an easy-to-follow template and communicating a genuine desire to help your potential customer get what they want.

One of the reasons why B2B sales is so complicated is because of the many blind spots it involves that can ambush sales deals. You might optimize your prices and meet compliance regulations or you might have the best sales tools at your disposal. Yet, all else can fail if you don’t know what to do and what not to do in B2B sales. And no matter how much it’s drummed up about, I don’t believe there are any shortcuts to accelerating your sales funnel.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. 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.
