All salespeople and their managers want to understand the psychology of selling and in fact, is it a highly searched phrase on google.

You are entitled to your opinions, but I have no desire to engage with you… ” While this was the most pronounced articulation, I see too much of the same thing happening.

Time is something that impacts everyone. There are only 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week. We have more demands on our time than we have the time to do those things. Some of those demands are things we inflict on ourselves. Some of those demands are the result of requests from others. However we choose to commit our time, we have to use it as well as we possibly can.

Dear SaaStr: Does It Make Sense to Have Post-Sales Functions Report into Sales? In theory — maybe. In theory, why not let sales “keep” the customer longer? They already know the customer, after all. But in practice — this doesn’t work that well. Even if having a CRO own post-sales and CS is becoming much more common these days. A “true” VP of Sales often wants nothing more to do with a customer after a deal closes.

Apple’s preview mentioned that the changes are “ coming later this year ,” which, to me, makes it more likely they’ll be released separately and at a later date.

In this case, it was 15 people, which is about 40% of the headcount. These posts are met with a wide range of emotions, which is understandable. I’m not bringing it up to judge Robinson on his turn at this unfortunate ritual.
