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.

Iceland recently completed a year-long study designed to assess the value of a four-day workweek. The study, involving thousands of workers, found that not only was there no loss in productivity, there were actually multiple benefits. The four-day workweek isn’t a new concept and has been tried by several American companies with the same results as the Icelandic study.

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.

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.

Every business owner understands the significance of negotiations. You must maintain constant contact with other businesses in order to obtain supplies, distribution channels, or licenses. Negotiating with foreign companies is much more complicated than dealing with locals because cultural differences and language barriers must be considered. There are, however, some things you can do to ensure that your negotiations go as smoothly and effectively as possible.

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.
