As sales professionals, we are supposed to be masters of effective communication, yet too many times we overlook even the simplest of issues. We’ve sent the customer some information–we assume the read it. We’ve sent the customer some information–we assume they understand it. We’ve sent the customer information and assume it addresses their needs, because we believe it addresses their needs.

We measure a lot of things in sales. Some sales organizations are fanatical about metrics, others not so much. Either way, measurement is part of sales. It’s what makes sales such a unique monster. There is no place to hide. Sales is an objective environment. With all the measuring sales does, there has been one measurement that rarely shows up on our dashboards.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

Where do we find new deals? How do we get customers energnized about the deals we are talking to them about? How do we unstick stalled deals? What about those “no decisions?” These are the top issues I hear from sales professionals every day. They’re tough challenges. I think one of the root causes of these challenges is the conversations we have with our customers (if we even are having a conversation, rather than pitching).

Justin Shriber, Regional Vice President, CRM On Demand, at Oracle just delivered the best presentation at Sales 2.0 Conference so far.

I recently read Paul Gillin and Eric Schwartzman’s book: “Social Marketing to the Business Customer” I liked the book (so much so that I wrote an Amazon recommendation) for a number of reasons. First, I like the format. The book is broken down into three sections: Tools, Technology, Tactics. I also liked that it is a very readable book (about 240 pages, lots of statistics, pictures…).

That’s the $64K question for all sales people. Who’s the decision-maker and how do we get access to her? Conventional sales wisdom tells us to focus on the top, prowling the halls of the executive suite, trying to develop relationships with the CxO. Finding that decision-maker, persuading him that we have the right solution and getting a favorable decision is the “Holy Grail” for sales people.

I was reading an interesting discussion on customer loyalty at Focus.com. The responses focused on great customer service. This matches my experience when I talk to executives worldwide. It’s what most customers cite when questions about how they make buying decisions. Sometimes, I wonder if all of us, customers included are missing the point.

The other day I got my hair cut. The stylist’s name was Christine and she was good. She didn’t have to tell me she was good. I just knew it. Her attention to detail was excellent. She asked me questions along the way to make sure I got the cut I was looking for. She spent extra time on the difficult areas. She made sure the cut was even by going over the spots with the trimmers multiple times.

A technique called " like-gating " is becoming more and more widely used as a way to generate new Facebook fans -- and not without some critics. The idea is that you offer exclusive content to those who 'like' your business' Facebook page, but only if they like the page. The problem? How are your prospects supposed to know if they want to like the page if they don't know what the content is like?

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.

“Rising Tides Float All Ships,” a bit of an odd title, given the current economic uncertainty. This term has been used to talk about the false sense of success many individual and executives may have about their peersonal performance and that of their organizations. In great times, or robust growing markets, it’s hard to perform badly.

What the heck is a flash mob? A flash mob is getting people to come together in a public space, surprising unsuspecting viewers with a choreographed performance/dance routine, and then walking away as if nothing happened. Flash mobs, when executed well, can be a great way to generate buzz, express your business' creativity, and even garner some media attention and coverage.
