In the past, the salesperson would call their prospective client and ask for a meeting. The value proposition for the meeting would be "to share a little about us, how we are helping companies like yours, and learn about you and your company." This was the cold calling script, and believe it or not, it worked. Until it didn't.

One of the biggest reasons salespeople fail to create a sense of urgency in the mind of their customers is because they mistakenly focus too heavily on business cases and not nearly enough on their customer’s emotional motivators (i.e. the real reason they buy). As a result, they suffer with low close rates and poor forecast accuracy. Does this narrative sound familiar?

I’ve been writing a series on the importance of systems thinking in buying and selling. A fundamental issue we have to understand is “What happens when two independent systems intersect and have to work together?” As we, sellers, look at the various pieces parts of selling—marketing, sales, customer service, etc—we tend to optimize these systems to achieve our separate goals.

Dear SaaStr: What Are the Danger Signs a Startup Isn’t Going to Work Out? Let me share my list. It’s more about things I worry about after : Founders’ understanding of market doesn’t get deeper. I really worry when 9–12 months later, the founders do not understand their market better. Especially, when they are a bit too arrogant about how they will kill the leaders — when they don’t really understand why they win.

What rules your sales team – order or chaos? Do your reps follow a consistent and repeatable process that makes it easy to predict quarterly sales? Or are they flying by the seat of their pants, following their own playbooks, and sending your metrics all over the place? There’s no shame if your team aligns more with the latter than the former. Some of the best sales teams start that way.

I recently was in discussions with senior execs at 3 of the top SaaS companies about their platforms and partners. And all 3 made the same point — their partners can charge for stuff they can’t. Even if it doesn’t totally make sense. For example, the average Salesforce customer will buy a fairly expensive stack such as DocuSign / Adobe Sign.

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.

Founders, take note: Just having a great product or service to offer is not enough to make a sales team successful. You need to know exactly who is willing to pay for that product or service and the best ways to reach them. This is especially true for startups , where you may have a brand new product or service that is just getting established and lack the resources to waste on leads that go nowhere.

Demanding schedules, inadequate pay, disconnected bosses: these are things that lead to burnout. And in this era of an “always on” work culture, more and more Americans say they’re feeling it. A growing number of employees are actively disengaged from work, which has led to a movement called quiet quitting, according to new Gallup research. Here, people do the work outlined in their job description, but don’t put in extra hours at the expense of their wellbeing.

Although this is about one party, I’m going to refer to them as Party Y because the lesson is universal. . Early last year Sen. John Doe was picked to head the campaign arm of Party Y’s National Senatorial Campaign. Sen. Doe, who was a businessman before getting elected, believed Party Y needed to overhaul how it raised money online and get more from smaller donors.
