By Tibor Shanto. It takes a big person to say they are sorry, but it takes a good salesperson to know when not to. This is not an invitation for crude and sloppy behaviour, but more an acknowledgement that people are not perfect. Trying to cover it up with an apology may not have the desired effect. People will allow themselves to be led to a certain degree as long as they do not see risk.

Referrals are among the top ways sellers get leads and new business, but many struggle with generating them consistently. Often, this is because they haven’t thought about why buyers should refer them. They don’t have a system in place for generating referrals. We know our buyers rely on colleagues, associates, and friends to recommend providers. So when a prospect comes to us via this route, some of the work is already done for us.

In the latest Marketoonist, personal branding meets the digital age on LinkedIn. Fishburne’s take: Tom Peters ushered in the age of personal branding with a 1997 cover story in Fast Company titled “ The Brand Called You.” This was a liberating shift in thinking at the time. I still have a copy of that Fast Company issue. This was six years before LinkedIn launched in 2003.

For example, revenue teams often use this method to estimate the business's future performance based on individual sales or rep performance. Put another way, bottom-up forecasting is like looking at the health of a complex system, like a vehicle, by looking first at its most basic parts, like its engine components.
