Have you ever been completely put off by the rep on the other end of a sales call? Maybe it was their tone, demeanor, or that they didn’t have their camera on. Maybe they seemed distracted, low energy, or disconnected from the product they were selling. Perhaps it was all these things. The way sales reps show up matters to buyers. And in an increasingly digital and virtual world, it matters more than ever.

It is important for sales leaders to understand that, when pursuing a deal, the contest isn't between their company and their competitor's company. Nor is the contest between their solution and their competition's product or service. Instead, it's a contest between the salespeople trying to win the client's business. A salesperson with greater sales effectiveness will beat a salesperson with a lower level of effectiveness.

Despite dealing with economic and geopolitical curveballs for the past 2+ years, uncertainty in the market shows no signs of slowing down. With heavy talk of inflation and a looming recession (or a recession that’s already started) buyers are anxiously shifting their budgets, headcount, and growth plans, leaving salespeople to hear objections like: now isn’t the right time. my CFO is asking me to put together a “recession plan”. call me back when the storm passes. we’re only moving forward with

Salespeople are a superstitious bunch. There are those who believe Monday isn't a good day to make cold calls, and there are those who believe Friday is the best day to do it. A technology company recorded the outcomes of 40 million calls, and their data revealed something quite simple and, perhaps, expected. The best time to make cold calls is between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays.

Negotiate by definition is to deal or bargain with others in preparation of a contract or business deal. As a verb, negotiate means to move through in a satisfactory manner. In the world of selling, both of those definitions are relevant and important. Oftentimes, sales negotiation tactics seem to be related to price – giving or getting the best rate or fees for a product or service.

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?

There are three generations of sales approaches being used today. The first is the legacy approach, which is over 50 years old. The second and most common is the legacy solution approach, which is around 35 years old. The third approach is the modern sales approach, and ironically, it is the oldest of the three.
Speaker: Frank Taliano
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.

Selling is a craft. It's a performance. It's also a bit of a mystery. Why is it that two salespeople who work for the same manager have different results? Both salespeople sell the same thing, to similar clients, at the same price. If one salesperson complains about an underhanded competitor, another salesperson has little trouble dispatching that same competitor.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible.

Most sales representatives struggle to figure out a better procedure, but there is a way to improve sales more quickly. A traditional approach is, ‘if you don’t know, just ask.’ But the qualifier is the differentiator for success, which is who you ask matters most. Adding to the dilemma is that each company operates differently, so how can one uniformly ask the right question and person to improve sales?

I’ve been revisiting a lot of selling basics. We take for granted that people, us, understand the basic of selling. What we do, why we do it, who it’s for… The reality is few training programs address these things well, focusing instead on how we do these things. And, over time, we forget these basics, running on autopilot. We just do what we have always done, moving unconsciously through our and our customer’s days.
