Selling is challenging enough without having to do it at a distance. While the combination of video and audio is better than audio alone, it doesn't come close to being in the room with your prospective client. The conversations are different, something less than they should be. However, post-pandemic, virtual selling is here to stay. While salespeople are still holding face-to-face meetings with their clients , virtual selling is certain to be part of how we sell, especially for interactions li

Once, questioning the sales process would have been the equivalent of suggesting the Earth was flat. Sales leaders believed every salesperson could win the deals they needed by following a linear process. This process comprised a set of best practices divided into sales opportunity stages. Sales leaders hoped and prayed that a consistent set of steps would reduce the variability of results and ensure they could reach their net new revenue goals.

What is the greatest skill in SEO? If you believe this tweet , it’s patience. Although patience is a great answer, I would never say there is a “greatest” SEO skill. Why? Because SEO requires various hard skills (things you can learn or be taught) and soft skills (how you work and interact with others) to succeed. As I’ve always found, asking many SEO professionals one question will get a wide variety of opinions.

My 12-year-old self must have felt the dopamine drip from hearing yes and being handed money, something I had too little of. Like Pavlov's dog, I made the connection between asking a prospect to buy something and acquiring money.

In SaaS, I think one of the biggest traps you can get yourself into as a founder is doing Low ROI things for one minute longer than you have to. Of course, this is true in all start-ups. But quickly, in SaaS, it becomes worse. Why? Because they are more functional areas to handle, earlier. You need engineering, product in all start-ups — but in SaaS, even in the very early days, you also need sales, client success, true support, demand gen marketing, etc.
