The sales effort is useless unless you are 100% behind an idea, product, or service. Hence, selling to yourself proceeds selling to clients. Anyone on a sales job has no doubt paused to question what they are to sell upon hearing a new announcement. Integrity is everything, as clientele seeks it out before committing. It’s easy to dismiss a new offering as not worthy of anyone’s time.

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.

Data privacy is arguably the most pertinent topic in marketers’ minds these days. Whether it’s GDPR, CCPA, or upcoming U.S. federal privacy laws, brands know they may face legal jeopardy if any of these pieces are out of place. Yet it’s more than that — consumers are demanding privacy. “As consumers demand more transparency and new laws and regulations come into effect, brands must reconsider their data practices and think beyond legal compliance to stay in the game,” said Priscilla Debar, Acous

We know empathy is important in working with others, whether it’s our customers, our peers, or our people. If we can’t understand what they face in doing their jobs, what they care about, what their hopes, dreams, or fears, doubts might be, we can’t connect with them in meaningful ways. Too often, however, the concept of empathy is absent in our interactions.
