When you’re a salesperson, some days go slower than others. Mondays. Rainy days. Popular vacation days that you happen to work on. It’s a long list. Luckily for you and me, Salesforce did the necessary research to discover one of the biggest pain points that cause slow workdays. Did you know that salespeople spend over 1,300 hours every year not generating revenue?

What if we applied the principles of high impact, value creating selling to our work with our own people? What if we started applying the principles we leverage to create differential advantage, customer experience which drive retention, renewal, and growing our customers to our people.

If there ever were a golden word in marketing, it’d be evolution. As consumers access more advanced technology, old marketing strategies fail to impress them. This is why modern marketers need to adapt to the constantly changing media and technology landscape to appeal to customers. Two innovations marketers should stay abreast of are augmented and virtual reality devices.

Tell me if this story sounds familiar to you. Someone in your office finds a creative subject line in a blog post. They get a 38% open rate after using the subject line for one month. You begin using the same subject line, but your open rates are not as promising. I just spent ten minutes reviewing the top ten Google search results for “best cold email subject lines”.

So for a while now we’ve been running polls on LinkedIn. They aren’t scientific, but they do poll out 25,000+ LinkedIn followers, who consist mainly of SaaS executives. So there’s something to them. And at least — they can trigger some thinking. A few of my favorites: #1. Most of you give about a 12.5% discount on average for multi-year deals.

Every One-Down salesperson has a tell , something that reveals their low level of status and knowledge. A decision maker or a professional buyer will recognize this tell and command the One-Down salesperson to "sharpen their pencil," or they’ll politely ask for a lower price or some other concession. The One-Down salesperson explains they will have to speak to their sales manager to see what they can do, and by saying those words, they inform the buyer that a lower price or desired concession wi

There are many ways to slice-and-dice public market data, but the headline one Bessemer called out is the most visceral I’ve seen: Public SaaS and Cloud companies lost $1 Trillion in market cap so far in 2022. And the number of public SaaS and Cloud decacorns has fallen from 50 to 17. This puts a lot of pressure on all the private unicorns out there: We did a deeper dive on decacorns here.

The One-Down salesperson uses an approach that causes their prospective client to recognize they aren't someone with the knowledge or experience to be a valuable partner. Asking "Is now a good time," or "Is now a bad time," or any other combination of words that are used to try to deceive the contact is the result of a lack of confidence. It also betrays the One-Down person's belief that they are going to fail to acquire the meeting they need.

The phone rang, I absently picked it up, thinking it was another call that was scheduled about 10 minutes later. It ended up being the wrong call, it was a prospecting call, “Dave, this is Chris from…… We missed you at Dreamforce and wanted to talk about how you can leverage our tool at your company.” Not meaning to be nasty, I asked, “Do you know what our company does?

Sales intelligence platform Cognism cut their lead generation efforts by 90% in 2021. Then they increased their revenue from $2M to $6M in six months. Cognism saw this growth by ditching the linear funnel and delivering value upfront, replacing a traditional strategy that brought them low- or no-intent leads. This value-based model bringing all the right customers to their yard is called demand generation.

So for many of us in SaaS, these are still the best of times. The Cloud is bigger than ever, CIOs are buying more than ever, and SaaS is still on a roll. But public stock prices are way down, and venture capital is much tighter than it was just a few months ago. So many of you will want to manage the burn more carefully. But you can’t cut your way to growth.
