The sales performance management activities that we are performing today are creating the results we are achieving today. Many or few, consistent or irregular, planned or impromptu, the sales performance management activities that we, as sales managers, use to motivate, train and hold our sales team accountable are at least partly responsible for the success or lack of success of those we manage.

Many sales organizations struggle with building consistent, qualified pipeline because their sales teams are spending too much time “working around the opportunities.” The key to driving qualified pipeline is focusing your team on the territory, not the opportunities. When your sales team views their territory as their own business unit, they’re more accountable for the forecast and able to execute on next-level pipeline building.

Daily, we see examples of various forms of AI based plagiarism, some unintended, some malicious and intentional.

Confession time. I’m terribly lazy. I want to accomplish a lot, but I want to do it with minimal effort. As I look at selling, today, it requires far too much effort—far more than I’m willing to do. After all, we have to send 1000s of emails a day, we have to make 100s of calls, we have to spend hours doing outreach in LinkedIn and other channels.

In reading an article about the latest hints and tips in using AI for prospecting, a sentence stood out to me. It talked about how “mundane” outbound is. The idea of reaching out, trying to engage prospects in talking about their challenges, problems, concerns, as well as their dreams and aspirations is boring and dull is striking. And, perhaps, it is this mindset that underlies the poor results we get from our prospecting.

It’s human nature to be uncomfortable with uncertainty. We are driven to have answers, to seek solutions. We, often, display avoidance behaviors–persisting in doing things the way we have always done them, even when we know they are no longer effective. We choose to do nothing primarily because we don’t want to face uncertainty.

Salespeople have a reputation for overpromising in their pitch. You’ve heard the adage about salespeople telling a customer “Of course we can do that!” to close a sale. But back at the office, they’ll ask their delivery or product team in a panic, “We can do that, right?” A written sales contract should accurately reflect the verbal agreements made — or else you risk the buyer backing out of the deal or having a very unhappy or potentially litigious client aft

Optimizing for E-E-A-T is challenging because these signals rely heavily on external validation. Simply proclaiming your own expertise and trustworthiness is not enough. What other sites say about you carries more weight. This explains the long history of link building in SEO. Links still matter for quantifying E-E-A-T.
