Have you ever conducted a Google or Amazon search for one thing only to be presented with search results that were completely different than what you were looking for? I was looking for an image of a sales funnel and couldn't believe what I found! My search results can be found here. Can you believe all of those images of sales funnels?

Do you ever look at something and get a déjà vu? In this era, chances are that feeling might just be a simple retargeting practice. Retargeting is when marketers reach out to the prospects that previously engaged with the company. So, if you come across a familiar advertisement while you’re browsing online, that’s retargeting. And while it could be an effective practice for marketers, the audience might feel that they’re being stalked. “Retargeting is a creepy stalkerR

With Apple’s iOS 15 now an available update for all iPhones, marketers should be on the lookout for changes in their email open rate data. Or, you might just want to stop looking at them altogether. What’s the change?

When training employees, it’s important to remember the big picture and end goals. Why? Because it’s easy to get lost in “just-in-case” training scenarios that can end up wasting a lot of time. If you are able to cover a broad spectrum aspects that add up to your big picture, training your employees will be more effective. They will have learned the skills necessary to make decisions effectively on their own, and thus, there would be no reason for “just-in-case” training.

Adopting a soft sales technique on LinkedIn can grow your network, and ultimately sales, according to Darryl Praill, CRO for sales engagement software company VanillaSoft. “You’ve got your marketing or your sales list of people you’re trying to target,” Praill said, “but that’s just the people you know of. The fact is there’s thousands of people out there who could buy your products or services, or influence the purchase of your products or services.”.

A holiday shopping season that starts in October — or earlier? Hear us out. Last year, between shipping delays and a rescheduled Amazon Prime Day, the 2020 holiday calendar changed radically. Cyber Week lost some share of spending as consumers turned out early to avoid shipping delays that had started as far back as March. The result of the extended holiday was that 2020 became the biggest digital shopping season to date.

There are many productivity methods that workplaces utilize, and among them is the Pomodoro Technique. Through it, staff work in bursts of 25 minutes and then rest for five minutes. This pattern is followed continuously till the day ends, and many find it much effective and motivating. To others, the Pomodoro method just isn’t motivating enough; hence they would do better with another option.

Yet, the majority of those complex buying opportunities end in “No Decision Made.” For those that are left, we hope to win our fair share.

If you ask any consultant, freelancer, or other "gig" worker what the hardest part of their job is, most will likely say "pricing my services.". Determining the value of your services is often tied up in your own self-worth, making this conversation even trickier for most people. For example, if you’ve worked as an employee for the last 30 years and never made more than $50 an hour, it might seem inconceivable that your services are worth $100 an hour.

As a sales leader, your prospects mean everything to you. Think the feeling’s mutual? Of course not. Your SDRs are the tenth sales rep they’ve spoken to that week. Even when your reps get a conversation started, prospects are prone to ghosting. After prospects reply to the rep’s initial email, only about half will respond again. The rest get distracted, bored, or busy — ultimately leaving your reps hanging.
