60-something years ago, sales was a very different game. . Back then, salesmen – I mean sales people (glad that’s changed) – would button up their best suits, court prospective clients in-person with bone-in steaks, and discuss business over a handful of dirty martinis. . Back then, the customer was always right, and calling them “sir” or “ma’am” was the norm.

Knowledge is power. We try to accumulate as much knowledge as we can. It gives us deeper understanding, it gives us insight, it helps us learn things or become aware of things we may have missed. The more knowledge we have, the better prepared we might be in addressing challenges, recognizing new opportunities, and managing risk. Knowledge is power.

They’re driving themselves crazy, stressing out over finding the best outbound sales cadence, especially when the sales numbers aren’t meeting expectations.

I used to hate the idea of “power laws” That the advantages of being #1 compound over time. It seemed to turn all startups into just numbers on a graph. But has time has gone on, I’ve learned it’s often right. Just look at Zoom’s incredible run to dominate an existing category. Being #1 in a category often takes 80%-90% of the value and benefits.

For many sales teams, especially those who already sell remotely, the restrictions on travel due to COVID-19 haven’t changed the nature of how they sell. If you already sell primarily via the telephone, digital channels and video conferences, not a lot has changed. That is not the case for our clients who are in manufacturing, health care, pharmaceuticals and other industries that still rely on a field sales team that is very much “in

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.

Daily, my inbox, voicemail, texts, and social feeds are filled with prospecting outreaches–people trying to sell me, helping me sell more/better. As you might guess, most of it is appalling! One wonders, if they represent their company/products/services/themselves so poorly, how would they represent our company? If their attempts at selling themselves is so bad, how could they ever do anything that would produce the kind of results we want?

Our societies, communities, workplaces and businesses are in turmoil. The Covid-19 virus, oil prices, and other disruptions are converging on creating business and economic crises–and opportunities.
