Your buyers won’t have it. They’ll move to another vendor faster than you can blink, leaving your pockets empty. Knowing the most common mistakes will help you avoid them.

Sales enablement is a multi-billion dollar industry, with more than a third of organizations reporting planned investments this year. Yet if history has anything to teach us about those investments, less than half of those initiatives will achieve most or all of their goals. The problem is that many organizations invest in point solutions without first laying the groundwork that will make their investments pay off.

How many people are involved in the customer buying decision? If you are a fan of CEBs research, the answer is 6.8. Other research says there is always a single dominant decision-maker. Still other research suggests there is a dominant influencer (or mobilizer), that drives the decision-making. Too often, when I talk to sales people, I get similar feedback, some will say it’s a group, but there is one dominant person in the group.

Research by TOPO indicates that the reason 83.4% sellers fail to hit quota (their number) is because of their improper time management skills. Why is this? It’s because sellers mistakenly spend a disproportionate amount of time of equalizing touches on all accounts, or spend too much time with accounts that aren’t ready to buy yet. Whether your sellers are targeting 10, 100, or 1000 accounts at a time, time management is a blessing for quota crushing A-players, and the kiss of death for your B &

Don’t get me wrong, I love Salesforce. It’s fantastic! I’ve been using it forever and even teach a session on it at The Startup Institute. I subscribe to the notion that “if it’s not in Salesforce it doesn’t exist,” and I believe all SDRs should know how to use it. However, over time and countless hours trying to get reps to log their activities, schedule the next ones, and keep that cadence consistent — I’ve found they don’t consistently do it.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
