Of course you have sales problems. If it’s not a production problem, it’s a productivity problem. If it’s not a productivity problem, it’s a servicing problem. If It’s not a service problem, it’s a sales/sales support turnover problem. In the words of Rosanne Rosannadana, “It’s Always Something”.

LinkedIn is a great tool for selling, but most salespeople are using it wrong. They’re treating it it’s a telephone or email and spamming people. We’ve all gotten them (and many of you have sent them). I’m talking about the LinkedIn connect requests that are then instantly followed by some lame pitch or request for your time so push some irrelevant ware on us.

I receive so many unsolicited emails each day that it makes my head spin. Most of them, like the cold calls I get, are simply horrible. Delete. Delete. Delete. Junk. Block. Unsubscribe. This week I received the daily double - a cold call with an identical, corresponding email. The email read like this: Hi Dave, I hope this message finds you well. We spoke in the past regarding the copier equipment in your office.

Already been ghosted by a few prospects this holiday season? You’re not alone, and it might not be because they’re not interested.

A 2017 MARTECH TODAY infographic lists the almost 5,000 companies that are part of the marketing technology landscape, up from just 150 in 2011. Yet, according to CSO Insights , despite the new tools, the mobile devices, the potential of social, and so on, many salespeople are working harder than ever just to achieve the same old results or worse. Quota attainment averaged across all geographies, industries and company sizes has dropped from 63% of salespeople in 2012 to 53% in 2016 – and 2017 w

Most of us stop reading after the last full sentence in an email. After all, the majority of people sign off with “Best,” “Thanks,” “Sincerely,” or something similarly boring -- and there’s no point reading this a million times: Thanks, Aja. However, the ubiquity of boring email sign offs is actually a great opportunity for sales reps. Closing with something memorable and personalized won’t just make you stand out -- it’ll also give you one last chance to connect with your prospect.

I review a lot of content on this topic and am amazed at what I find written about lead cost. For example: “The average cost per lead across all the companies surveyed is almost $200 ($198.44).Admittedly, that’s a useless statistic, as these figures vary quite dramatically depending on industry, company size, etc.” (see marketing charts analysis of HubSpot’s “2017 Demand Generation Benchmarks Report” ).

What’s a sales kickoff? A sales kickoff is an annual meeting (usually in January) for your entire sales team. The main objectives are motivating your reps, managers and leaders; laying out your strategy; and celebrate last year’s wins. You’re setting the tone for the next 12 months and getting the entire organization -- from the top to the bottom -- fired up to hit their goals.

I’ve been working with a fascinating new client. We’ve been looking at how to improve their prospecting results. It’s been a fascinating project, in some sense, I may be learning more from them than they have from me–but they seem excited about the changes we are introducing. First, a little background. They wouldn’t be offended, but what they sell is about the furthest thing from being mission critical that one can imagine.

Consolidation amongst B2B marketing technology and service providers has been a constant over the past several years, and 2018 started with a bang with Terminus’s announced acquisition of BrightFunnel earlier this week. The first-day news is always buzzworthy on its own, but my interest is typically on what the news media call “the day two story” – which often focuses on why the news happened, why it is important, and what happens next.

One of the big themes for me in 2017 was what it means for marketers to do the right thing. Outbound marketing that relies on spamming, irrelevant advertising, and other tactics that are almost as bad for the business as they are for the customer is obviously not the right thing. Better analytics has brought a lot of focus and measurability to marketing, but creates the tendency to do what’s best for the business versus what’s best for the customer.

As a seller, you know that both inbound and outbound leads are important. While they’re both valuable, inbounds deserve a fundamentally different approach in the beginning stages of a sale. Because they’re already familiar (and interested) in your business, they’re not the cold leads you’re accustomed to in an outbound sale. What this means is that response time is incredibly important as you connect with your inbound leads.

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.
