When I was in the hospital for a week in February, my discharge was delayed by two days because each time they asked me to walk up a flight of stairs, my blood pressure crashed. While I didnt do anything wrong, I still had a negative outcome, and there wasnt anything I could have done differently. The same thing can happen to salespeople. Good salespeople know that the key to a sales process that will result in a sale, is uncovering their prospects compelling reason to buy.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

Everybody wants the hacks. The quick fix. The shiny new tool. The LinkedIn post that magically draws leads like moths to a flame. But let me give it to you straight: Sales isnt won with hacks. Its won with habits. And the habits that win are the ones most reps abandon the minute things get uncomfortable or boring. If youre not hitting your number, its probably not because you need better leads, better tech, or better timing.

The majority of sales representatives experience burnout likely many on your team. Gartner found that 90% of sellers report feeling burned out from work.
