Given the current circumstances - a Global Pandemic and an economy where so many industries have been shut down or compromised - selling value will be more important than ever. The result of selling value is that you are able to win the business despite not having the best price. But when we talk about selling value, what does it really mean? One sales expert who reached out to me last week was worried that when we are focusing on the Value Selling Competency, uninformed salespeople interpret th

“Rare is the business that has a formal disaster plan, let alone one that covers a global Black Swan event.” Tim Stewart, trsdigital. An article on growth and marketing in the middle of a crisis—the current one or any other—can seem tone deaf. But nothing gets better if we stand still. Work can be a welcome intellectual distraction. It can also keep your employees employed or help you retain your job—a modicum of security in uncertain times.

It’s a unique time in history. We are all struggling with fear, uncertainty, risk. Physical separation and isolation is becoming increasingly important, both for our own safety, but also for the safety of others. Unfortunately, this separation and isolation creates social isolation–which is very unhealthy. Human beings are social creatures, we are used to and thrive on day to day interaction with our colleagues, suppliers, customers.

There’s been a shift in how B2B organizations communicate through follow-ups and outreach. They’re taking a more B2C-like approach, optimizing the buying experience to win more business. Eight out of ten business buyers want the same experience as when they’re buying for themselves. This means that even in the B2B space, your buyers want ultra personalized experiences, they want their needs to come first, and they want on-demand engagement.

Complex B2B buying is never easy. I’ve written, extensively, about how difficult it is for buyers to align diverse priorities and agendas, and navigate the buying process. The majority of buying ends in no decision made. The need hasn’t disappeared, the customer, for various good/bad reasons just fail to make a buying decision. We are learning, as sales people, what we need to do is help the customer organize to buy and navigate their buying process.

And I think we’ve all seen examples of companies that clearly meet that bar in the past few days.

Technology is a double edged sword. We can use it to improve the impact, value, effectiveness, and efficiency in engaging prospects and customers. At the same time, we can use it to drive away customers/prospects by creating crap at the speed of light. Unfortunately, rather than doing the former, in focusing on our own self centered objectives, we end up doing the latter.

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.
