To compete in the marketplace today, companies must first, identify the sales coaching needs of their managers and the strengths and weaknesses of the salespeople they coach. We know that in order to differentiate in business today, salespeople must be consultative, have great interactions with clients, provide solutions that solve their problems, and also create revenue for the company.

With smaller groups or one on one’s, I frequently talk about “The Joy of Selling… ” To some this concept may seem a little too soft and abstract. Some react, “Dave, we’ve got to focus on hitting the numbers, achieving our growth goals! It’s tough work and sellers need to be tough minded!” Increasingly, I don’t encounter many people, at all levels, that are proud of being sellers.

I read a fascinating editorial by David Brooks, People Are More Generous Than You May Think. A line stood out, “Humanity hasn’t thrived all these centuries because we’re ruthlessly selfish; we’ve thrived because we’re really good at cooperation.” I had to re-read the article a few times, but it gradually sunk in. As I reflect on what we see happening in buying/selling, we see validation of this in virtually every interaction.

Google Ads is introducing a new policy to combat scams and help prevent misleading ads. The platform will now have a “get-to-know-you” period for advertisers it doesn’t know well. During this time, Google Ads may limit how many impressions unfamiliar advertisers receive. The Limited Ads Serving policy will apply when an advertiser targets specific brands in their campaign but the relationship between the ad and brand is unclear, Google said.

Human interaction is remarkably inefficient. It’s downright sloppy. We come into conversations with our own biases, hopes, dreams, beliefs, values, fears, experiences, points of view, and goals. We engage others, each with their own biases, hopes, dreams, beliefs, values, fears, experiences, points of view, and goals. And each person in a conversation brings these factors into the conversation… As conversations progress, things change.

Decision fatigue refers to the progressive decline in the quality of choices made by an individual, brought on by the sheer volume of decisions one must make. Essentially, the brain has a finite reserve of decision-making power, and as one navigates through many choices, this cognitive reserve becomes increasingly depleted. As a result, the quality of decisions made starts to deteriorate.

I then asked him if ChatGPT makes him smarter. No, he said, just faster. So it made me curious whether I could apply generative AI (not just ChatGPT) to my own work.
