Theodore Levitt, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School taught his students that people don’t buy drills; they buy quarter-inch holes. No one wants to buy a drill , they buy the outcome the drill provides them. Too many salespeople have been convinced that their solution is superior to that of their competition. Most companies have a solution that can produce the same outcome as their competitors.

Some businesses struggle to manage a sales team. So, they search for ways to improve their efficiency. Sales operations aren’t for everyone. So some business owners look for solutions elsewhere. While some go into automated platforms for lead generation or artificial intelligence (AI), others ask for help from other companies. That’s where outsourcing comes into place.

If you believe that selling is difficult, know that buying is often more difficult. Part of what makes buying challenging is that buyers research on their own to avoid engaging with salespeople. Some are buying without fully exploring their options, which can lead to buyer’s remorse. Spending time with a good salesperson can prevent this.

Most of the time, as sellers, we focus on our self interests. As a result we spend a lot of time looking at our selling process and the things we want to do to our customers. We focus on the things that drive our success, perhaps not really understanding what the customer is trying to achieve and their success. Sometimes, though rarely, we think about their buying process.

Amazon is by far the largest e-commerce in the US, making up more than 37% of the US e-commerce market. Because of its vast customer base, it’s an attractive marketplace for online sellers with the current number of sellers exceeding 500,000 individuals. If you aren’t already selling on Amazon, you’re missing out on a lot. Anyone can meet the requirements and become a seller on Amazon, but not everyone makes it to the top where they earn upwards of $1 million from Amazon alone.

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.

Four couples enjoyed dinner as a small social group, followed by a more profound conversation afterward. The discussion was remarkable, and one gentleman’s facial expressions throughout were highly entertaining! However, it was a superb reminder to be aware of our posturing, including facial expressions, while speaking with prospects and clients. Those appearing on the person’s face would have killed trust and the sale!
