The sales management activities that we are performing today are creating the results we are achieving today. Many or few, consistent or irregular, planned or impromptu, the behaviors and activities that we, as sales managers, use to motivate, train and hold our relationship managers accountable are at least partly responsible for the success of those we manage.

There are two dominant sales models being practiced by B2B sales organizations and sales professionals. The most prevalent of the two models is the legacy sales approach. The concepts and methodologies in the legacy approaches were created and developed between the late 1960s and the early 1990s. If you wanted to, you could trace the legacy approach to the late 1880s, when companies scaled their business by adding salespeople.

AI is changing our world even if we can’t see it. It’s helping us navigate to places faster, get products into our hands and even diagnose diseases. In this article, though, I want to explore the role AI can have in marketing. It may not be as grandiose as helping cure cancer but marketing needs to reckon with the role of AI in its world. This is a timely article, especially since ChatGPT went viral.

So the other day Colin Cadmus, who was VP of Sales at Aircall, summarized a career question I’ve thought about many times over the past 10+ years. If you are a great AE, a great sales exec … I know you might want “more” … but is it really better to be a VP of Sales? I’ve met with so many ambitious AEs over the years who wanted to make the jump straight to VP or “Head of” Sales.

Dear SaaStr: Does Cold Emailing VCs Work? What Are Some Tactics to Help Increase the Odds ? Yes cold emailing VCs does work especially with earlier-stage investors — if the email “pitch” is perfect. It has to be the full package, because you’re lacking the social proof of a warm intro. And there are just so, so, so many start-ups.

Of all the ridiculous and sublime ways to spend $10,000 a month of your enterprise SEO budget, your least greatest ROI has come from link exchange emails like this below, where a C-note can get you a backlink on a website with a domain authority of 80+ – potentially evening out that PBN you created for another $10k. The author took the screenshot. If you missed that hint of sarcasm above, let’s be clear, you should not be spending your enterprise SEO budget on link exchanges or PBNs.
