Great consultative salespeople have many attributes that help them guide their decisions and interactions with prospective clients. Many good or average salespeople lack these important sales attributes. Great salespeople not only use a consultative selling approach, but they also lead the conversation with a prospect.

So Freshworks in another in our line of “hero companies” in SaaS. While Freshworks is very much a global SaaS leader, its history as perhaps the first with deep roots in India to IPO in the U.S. makes it one we all root for as a break-out global leader. It’s now at $560m in ARR, growing 23% on a constant-currency basis, and while that growth has slowed from the go-go pace of the last 2 years, it still beat Wall Street’s estimates for both revenue and adjusted profit!

We, our customers, colleagues, managers are time poor! In reality, we will always be that way, we will have more demands on our time than we have time to commit. For years, I’ve been lobbying for a 30 hour day or a 9 day workweek, somehow thinking things would be better if we just had more time. But, as much as I argue for these changes, they seem unlikely to be accepted.

Full disclosure. I’ve never been much of a big data guy. Nor have I ever required extensive reporting from my salespeople. I never spent my time building, crunching, and analyzing spreadsheets. The only numbers that I was ever interested in were … How much is in my/our pipeline? What are my/our sales for the month? What was my/our closing ratio? How much money do I have in my bank accounts?

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 instance, the technique for an information-heavy affiliate marketing site may yield a different number of links for an ecommerce product page or localized service pages. The techniques below can be used for almost any situation, with varying degrees of scale depending on many factors.

Competitive spaces are competitive for a reason. Money. Mullah. Dinero. That works in two ways: Lots of money to make, with oodles of demand and lucrative payouts, but… Also, lots of money your competitors have to splash the cash to outbid and outrank you. They can spend it on hard costs like pushing CPCs through the roof. Or on soft costs like savvy operators who’re scrappy and ambitious – producing more, better marketing assets to create a competitive moat to keep you out.

Qualification is a critical sales activity that ensures reps aren’t wasting their time on leads that will never buy. It's a useful (or even essential) exercise to conduct at the start of your sales process — but there are certain limits to it. Qualifying too much, too early can be counterintuitive. If you over-qualify up front, you might wind up narrowing your perspective to the point of missing viable opportunities and working on bad leads.
