One reason sales leaders complain about sales training is because they believe that the training will cure their sales force of whatever challenges they have. Most sales organizations don’t have a competency model that would permit them to see each salesperson’s strengths and areas of improvement.

One of the recurring complaints I hear from sales leaders and sales managers is that their sales teams don't ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions are necessary to acquire all kinds of information that will make it easier to sell to the client and their stakeholders. Some part of the reticence to ask these questions may come from the fear that there may be a lack of business acumen to address the response to the question.

Google is investigating a devastating Local Service Ads (LSA) tactic that could “nuke competitors out of existence.” When more than one LSA is linked to a Google Business Profile (GBP), the ad becomes invisible, killing off all leads. Alarmingly, competitors can use this loophole to intentionally create an LSA linked to your GBP without your knowledge, preventing your ad from reaching consumers.

One of the great tragedies of the digital marketing world is that “ PPC ” folks and “paid social” folks don’t see themselves at the same marketing table – even as ad networks push them closer and closer. Advertisers who are “Google-first” or “Meta-first” tend to struggle to make the leap to the alternate platform. Yet, as paid media (i.e., more than just SERP and feed-based) becomes the norm, advertisers will need to get comfortable translating their strategies across platforms.
