Banks that embrace these four things will almost always outperform the competition. These activities are validated by the Objective Management Groups 30-year history of sales skills assessments across the country.

If you're in field sales, you know the reality: You spend hours every week sitting behind the windshield, staring at traffic that's moving at the speed of molasses. Whether you're dealing with Atlanta's notorious I-285 parking lot or any other major city's rush hour nightmare, that windshield time is either making you better or making you bitter.

We’ve already seen something happen in support. You can’t automate 100% of support with AI yet. At least, not reliably. But you can automate 30%-40% of support for real … with top 10% CSAT. So what does that mean for inside sales? Probably something similar by 2026. A 50/50 Sales Team. 50% of your team are humans. 50% are AI. At least for SMB and more routine mid-market sales.

We live in overlapping circles on “Insularity.” Our families, friends, communities. Our teammates, functions, organizations, industries. These insular communities provide us different levels of security and comfort. From a professional point of view, they are made up of people doing similar things, facing similar issues/challenges. While we may compete with each other in the markets, we learn from each other, see differing approaches, sometimes seeing new opportunities.

Dear SaaStr: We Have a Ton of VC Interest But Are Profitable. Should We Still Raise? Summary thoughts: Yes, if your balance sheet is weak. Yes, if your gut tells you you need it. Not just want it. But — Probably No if your balance sheet is strong and you’re not sure where to deploy it. Many founders end up regretting taking capital they didn’t need in the end.

I’ve been on a tear this week, talking about AI. I’m so excited about it’s potential, yet I get so frustrated about too many of the current use cases. We are obsessed with how many tasks can be automated by AI, freeing up our time. Without a doubt, AI can have a huge impact on how we spend our time, offloading meaningless tasks. (As a sidenote, so much of the early results of these efforts, don’t seem to show improvements in results, at least in our GTM strategies.).

AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to boost your game. Used wisely, AI can be your secret weapon. AI is everywhere: in social selling, content creation, automation, to say the least. Here's the double-edged sword: If you're trying to outsource everything to AI, you won't last. If you're stuck in the old ways, refusing to adapt, you'll get left behind.

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. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

Reflecting on my 25+ years leading revenue organizations, one thing has remained constant: the pressure to deliver consistent, predictable growth. Yet for much of that time, the concept of enablement has occupied a curious place in the business lexicon, important, certainly, but often misunderstood.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible.

In the comments, Ted Gulas asked if, since 2017, the percentage of salespeople who need to be liked has changed. I did some research and responded with: “In 2017, 79% of the top salespeople did not need to be liked compared with 84% from the 2025 data.
