Most sales teams don’t realize how much ground is lost before they even speak to a lead. People don’t wait around for a discovery call to figure out if you’re a good fit.

Managing a sales pipeline can feel like trying to pack for a trip without knowing the weather. Youve got plenty of tools, lots of information, and a bit of hopebut it can still be overwhelming.

As a business owner, sales isn’t just a job — it’s baked into everything I do. Pitching clients, negotiating partnerships, growing a network. You can’t escape it. And if you’re looking for a sales role? Same story. The job market is crammed with candidates all claiming to be “results-driven” and “customer-focused.” But recruiters and sales leaders? They’re wading through stacks of near-identical resumes, making snap judgments on who’s worth a second look.

Picture this: you’re at dinner with a few other sales leaders, maybe even a couple of marketers or operations folks, and someone casually asks, “so, what methodology does your team use?” You pause. You could say “a mix,” but they press: “Are you more Challenger or SPIN? Or something else?” If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have a perfect answer to that, you’re not alone.

The main difference between B2C and B2B sales strategies is the decision-making process. B2C sales focus on quick, emotionally-driven decisions, often influenced by personal desires or immediate needs. In contrast, B2B sales involve longer sales cycles , multiple stakeholders, and decisions driven by logic, ROI, and business impact.

While marketing and enablement craft content to boost buyer and brand engagement, sales reps should spend time sharing those assets with select leads on social media. Pipeline marketing , industry events, and cold calling remain vital for generating leads, but social selling offers another viable lead-gen and -nurturing approach.
