By Tibor Shanto. Choice , such a nice word, makes everyone who offers or receives one feel good: and for all the wrong reasons. But in reality, and in sales it will almost always work against you. I’ll go further, it is a clear indicator of laziness and lack of professionality. Yet for the all the usual reasons, salespeople and pundits swear by and depend on it.

Some of the greatest sales lessons of the pandemic era have come from governments and medical professionals trying to get the general public to comply with their public health measures. From mask mandates to social distancing to vaccinations, crafting the directives is one thing. Getting people to actually follow them is quite another. But it’s not so much the directives themselves that are the issue.

Probably one of the weakest areas of buying and selling I see is “qualifying.” As sales people, there are dozens of acronyms, if any are applied, you have a “qualified deal.” BANT is the grandfather of all of these, but others have come up with their own alphabet soup pushing their approaches. These can be helpful if applied, but too often, sales people don’t apply them in a disciplined fashion.

Q: Dear SaaStr: How Long Should a CEO Continue Being the Head of Product? Roughly for me, for as long as it’s about a 10-hour a week job. Or often, maybe only up to $3m-$5m in ARR or so. In SaaS at least, founders make two mistakes again and again: First, try to hire a full-time “head of product” once the product gets complex. Once your product has 50–100 workflows, dozens of use cases, 100s or 1000s of customers, etc. … it’s just too much to hack and juggle informally.

Busting the myth – Do more calls really equal to more leads? . One of the main challenges every marketer face is getting more leads. The adage, “more calls equal to more leads” has influenced many salespeople and marketers. Yes, a salesperson needs to make a lot of calls to get leads, but it’s always quality over quantity. You can‘t keep making calls without putting thought into how the call impacts your leads and potential prospects. .
