In our business, one of the greatest sales challenges that most companies face is how to properly gain insight from the data. Some companies chase a bunch of data without any regard for the story that the data tells. Others struggle when they launch sales coaching without any data at all. One “must-have” sales data insight that all companies should understand is the “pull-through rate.

Have you ever noticed how the way we work with ChatGPT and other LLMs tends to mirror so many of our customer and internal conversations? Too often, it might be similar to talking with a very knowledgeable person who is unengaged, uncaring, aloof. The typical conversation with a LLM is very one sided. It’s not very interested in us, it seems to be in a rush, as if it has someone or something more important to work with.

Trust in business is not quite the same as trust in our personal lives. I think everyone recognizes that. You’ll never trust Salesforce or HubSpot the way you trust your family or your best friend, and I think the people at those companies would whole-heartedly agree on that point. When it comes to trust, the best a B2B tech vendor can hope for is to be where IBM stood when someone coined the phrase, “No one ever got fired for buying IBM.
