Your Numbers Have To Add Up

Tibor Shanto

By Tibor Shanto. Want to split a room of salespeople, just ask if “sales is a numbers game or not?” The debate has raged on for years with few converts. Ultimately, neither can convince the other that they were wrong, but neither can say they were right. Full disclosure, I came from the sales is a numbers game camp. While it is safe to say I have evolved, I have not abandoned my “sales is a numbers game” friends.

How to Avoid Spamming Someone on a Cold Call

Iannarino

The Gist: No one likes getting a straight pitch on LinkedIn. That approach is treated as “spam.”. You can make the same mistakes when making a cold call by using the same flawed techniques. Creating opportunities is too important to emphasize quantity over quality. As a professional courtesy, I accept cold calls. I even take the spam calls that reach my iPhone, working very hard to persuade the person trying to steal from me to quit their job and find a more honorable profession.

How Important Is Price?

Partners in Excellence

Price is important—of course, but sometimes I think we, sales people, make it more important than it is to the customer. Too often, pricing, moreover our willingness to discount, is the centerpiece of our sales strategies. First, the customer will always say that prices is important. It is, customers want to pay a fair price, they want to make sure they are getting the best pricing they can get.

The Meanest Thing VCs Do To Founders

Few Want to Go Into Sales

Iannarino

The Gist: The decades-old stereotype of a high-pressure salesperson is no longer accurate. While some sales organizations still use legacy approaches, none of them are based on high-pressure sales. The greater pressure is internal, the result of a role that provides more autonomy and more responsibility for individual results. Some years ago, I taught a class on Professional Selling at Capital University.
