The Power of Setting and Achieving Goals. New Year resolutions are nothing more than rhetoric. Despite the initial eagerness you may feel for the goals you have set, that enthusiasm tends to wane over time, often leaving you right back to where you started. Studies indicate that only 8-12 percent of people fulfill their goal-setting resolutions. Sure, your desire to achieve the goal is real.

To reach your goals as a sales manager, you need your team to hit their targets. Hitting those targets requires them to create new opportunities with existing clients and win new logos. When a salesperson logs a new opportunity in your CRM, you don't know whether they will win or lose the deal. You don't know if the new opportunity is real or another first conversation that is the salesperson's last conversation.

By Tibor Shanto. Despite advancements in tools, methodologies, and other attempts, sales as a profession continues to struggle. Quota attainment remains under 60%, closed forecasted deals aren’t much better. One has to ask what is being enabled by the new breed of soothsayers. A structured and enabled mess is still a mess. As with most things it is rarely about the what and the how, success is always about understanding why.

It isn't easy to be a sales leader or a sales manager. There is an unrelenting need to create new opportunities, win new deals and the net new revenue that fuels a company's growth. There are a lot of variables to sales success, including the individuals in sales roles and the nature of their work. Two people in accounting in two different companies are not engaged in a contest to see which of them will win a third party's business, but this is exactly what salespeople do every day.

The idea that salespeople solve problems is true. But this is mostly only true when solving the problem means selling their prospective client their "solution." Every product or service is designed to solve a problem, and because your client isn't going to buy what you sell if they don't recognize a need, you search for a problem.

Lifetime value is what you expect a client to spend with you over the course of your relationship. Let's assume a large client has a lifetime value of $1,000,000. To reach that number, your client could spend $100,000 with you each year for 10 years. Avoiding churn is one way to achieve this with their clients; however, it is just the first step in maximizing lifetime value.

This is a trigger event for real estate agents, mortgage banks, and title companies. Real estate agents will have to change how they find potential buyers, mortgage banks may have to develop new lending programs, and title companies may be forced to take a little more time off.

By Tibor Shanto. Some people hide from prospecting in their pipelines; pretending the opportunities, individually or collectively, are more real than they are. It is easier to hide in the shadows than be definitive, both in measures and actions. With a 4:1 closing average, every time I close a deal, I must get four more to stay afloat. The more salespeople fudge that line, the harder they to work.

Selling is a “slight edge business.” By that, we mean that the line that separates high performers from mediocre performers is usually a very small difference. There is very little you can control in selling. You can’t make prospects take your call. You can’t make prospects agree to meet with you. You can’t make them move forward in your sales process and you certainly can’t make them buy from you.
