The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many changes. While some businesses have hit rock bottom, some are thriving and hiring at scale. Businesses in customer care, retail, healthcare, digital marketing, and online training industries are actively hiring because of the new market demands. But unfortunately, recruitment techniques that have been used for years aren’t the same anymore.

It’s summer in the UK. Two cigarette disposal bins are erected on a littered street. One bin is marked Ronaldo, the other, Messi. The bins encouraged smokers to vote for the best football player with their cigarette butts. After twelve weeks, cigarette litter dropped by 46%. In the United States, a similar experiment reduced cigarette litter by 74% in six months.

I was doing a series of deal reviews–not unlike most of the deal reviews I do. We were talking about the people involved in the buying process. What struck me in each discussion was how few people were being engaged at the customer — and that the right people weren’t being engaged, even by the customer buying group. Typically, the sales team focused their engagement strategy through one person–usually a friend or sponsor.

There’s an Oxel tree standing beside an ancient fisherman’s shack on the Swedish island of Gotland. Although the shack is just a single room with no amenities, and the tree is just a tree, there is something about the sight and the energy of the place that compels me.

Being a CEO changes you. Not at first. The first year or two are a lot like “before”, just more intense. Now it’s all on your back, and your shoulders. But over time, your brain does get rewired. You get focused. And as part of that change, you will lose friends on many levels if you build a successful start-up. One tough part of that is if you co-found a company with friends, it’s likely one of them won’t go the distance.

Did you know that 51% of recipients delete emails within the first few seconds of opening it? Yes, you have a few seconds to impress your prospects. Besides, in the case of cold emails, the difficulty level is even higher as they are sent to potential prospects who have no prior relationship with you.

Sellers are three times more likely to struggle with mental health symptoms than the average American. 2 in 5 sellers struggled with mental health in 2019, and these numbers were from last year. What do you think that means for sellers now that the national average is 33% ? Much of this is due to the nature of our profession, but it’s made worse because most sellers today operate in toxic work environments.

As we reflect on the process of getting things done in business, one of the most important principles is the concept of alignment. Perhaps, simplified to, “How do we get everyone in the same boat, rowing the same direction, in cadence, at top speed?” As one looks at consistently high performing organizations, we see fanatic alignment—usually starting with a highly aligned culture, values, and leadership that models the expected behaviors.

The structure of the account plans looked like 99% of the account plans I have seen (and if I’m honest, some that I used to develop decades ago).

One of the things I see too many sales people doing is focusing only on the deal. That is, when we finally find and qualify an opportunity, our focus is on the deal only. We have meetings with the buying group, we focus on all the things we need to do to move the deal forward, winning a PO. Every conversation is about the deal, where the customer is in their process, and what we have to do next.
