I remember the first time that a client told me how much analytics had helped their business. They were able to increase their sign up rate for their product by 22% while reducing their marketing costs. It wasn’t magic or fancy tactics. They simply used their analytics data to make informed decisions. They didn’t have to guess or take huge bets. They knew exactly what was working and what they needed to do more of.

Most sales people aren’t selling and they don’t know it. Most sales people are order takers. They aren’t salespeople. Most sales people react to the customer and the customer dictates the sale. The salesperson simply reacts to the buyer, wielding little influence over the sales or the direction the sale goes. Sometimes they get the sale, other times they don’t.

Later, you learned that the prospect "Didn't really like your style.". It's not at all unusual, but it is almost always misinterpreted.

There almost always seems to be a discussion or debate between what qualifies as an opportunity in sales. The decision criteria can be all over the place. Some folks use BANT, other use Medic. Some use their homegrown criteria? The definitions of what makes a sales opportunity a sales opportunity are robust and varied. In spite of the various number of definitions, there is one absolute requirement to a sales opportunity.

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.

Software businesses have a conversion problem that’s both getting worse and going mostly unsolved. And that problem is mobile. Though the topic of mobile conversion rates of ecommerce websites is often broaches, it’s rare we talk about SaaS or B2B. It’s mostly been written off. “People don’t buy on mobile,” we say. However, this is often a problematic view (if you care about your business or the customer experience, that is).

He doesn’t care if they are round, square, flat, cushy, or even sewn on and attached to the back of the couch- he will find a way to lay on them. And though it irritates me to no end to walk into a room to find all of my decorative pillows haphazardly thrown around, I must appreciate Rocky’s determination.

For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.
