In 2016, I published a book titled The Only Sales Guide You'll Ever Need. In the chapter on Accountability, I wrote that you sell "outcomes," making the case that your prospective client isn't interested in your product or your service. Instead, they want to reach an outcome, one that would improve their results. Your clients would love to produce the outcome without buying your product or solution!

What sellers do is drive customers to change. Whether it’s a change effort they’ve initiated, or we are trying to incite them to change. But why should we expect them to change, particularly when sellers have failed, so miserably, to change the things we do in creating value with our customers? It strikes me as the height of irony–or perhaps arrogance–that we continue to do the things we have always done, perhaps with a new jargon or a veneer of technology, but fundamenta

One reason that sales organizations struggle to generate revenue or growth is because they have a low-resolution view of sales. Two factors this view. The first factor is using the outdated, legacy approach to sales, a choice that fails to recognize what's changed in the sales environment—especially for decision-makers and buyers. The second factor is not paying attention to the sales industry, falling behind on key developments in the past twenty years.

There’s a major flaw in most of our (sellers/marketers) mindsets when we think about opportunities and the customer buying journey. This flaw is embedded in our engagement approaches, our processes, how we think about deals and moving forward. The flaw is thinking about, “What do we need to do next to move this opportunity forwards?” The problem is this focuses on our own perspectives and needs.

Sales-driven SaaS startups end up with about half their headcount in sales and marketing. It sounds high at first, until you realize that's just how the math works.

The marketing team spent its budget dollars wisely. But management can’t see the results. When business spends money on anything, it expects to see a “return on investment”— a lift that has some correlation with the spend. This would be fine if marketing was a machine, with fixed, measurable inputs and outputs. Except we are living in “the Information Age”, so Industrial Age accounting will fail to notice what is really going on.
