The machines are here. You may have heard rumors about artificial intelligence (AI) potentially taking over our jobs. And the question is: Should you be concerned? In my opinion, we should be excited. AI -- especially “deep learning” technology -- brings new opportunities and innovation in the way digital marketing, sales, and customer support are handled.

Bitcoin. Ethereum. Ripple. Cardano. Stellar Lumens. No, this isn’t the beginning of some Star Trek fan-fiction, although the world of cryptocurrencies would fit right in on an episode of Deep Space Nine. Most cryptocurrencies are built on a revolutionary technology called the blockchain , which at a high level is an extremely secure, public ledger that is shared and verified by a distributed network of computers.

It’s a sales manager’s job to know whether or not a salesperson is going to make quota or not and part of the process is understanding what deals are real and will close, and which won’t. Deal reviews are the critical tool for sales managers to determine the probability of a salesperson is going to be successful or not in making quota.

What makes a killer sales kickoff meeting? Is the review of numbers? Sort of… Is it the announcement of a new product, service, feature set? Perhaps… Is it the Rah-Rah speech from the CEO? Maybe… Is it the announcement of new marketing initiatives to support lead generation and demand generation efforts? Getting warmer… What really sets the best sales kickoff meetings apart from the mediocre ones is making sure you provide your sales team with something more valuable

During a recent analysis of the available “operations” jobs on LinkedIn, we discovered a significant number of “revenue operations” jobs — 59,110 to be exact. It sparked the question, “Is revenue operations just another word for sales operations, or are the roles fundamentally different?”. We spoke to several operations professionals to help us better define revenue ops, and understand how the role fits into an organization relative to sales ops.

How many opportunities are your reps managing at any given time? If you’re like most modern sales organizations, the answer is a lot. It takes time to cultivate those opportunities and build relationships with prospects, which means every second of your reps’ day is sacred. So why do so many reps burn valuable hours doing manual tasks that have zero impact on your win rate, customer satisfaction, and bottom line?

Of course you have sales problems. If it’s not a production problem, it’s a productivity problem. If it’s not a productivity problem, it’s a servicing problem. If It’s not a service problem, it’s a sales/sales support turnover problem. In the words of Rosanne Rosannadana, “It’s Always Something”.

We spoke in the past regarding the copier equipment in your office.

At first glance, project managers and sales professionals don’t seem to have much in common. They inhabit different worlds and generally aim for different goals. Budget-conscious, time-crazed and snoopier-than-normal, the stereotypical project manager seems, at most, a very distant cousin of the freewheeling, outgoing and glib sales practitioner.

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.

Influencer marketing has skyrocketed since it first made its mark. That's very much due to the way purchasing decisions have changed over the years. You might recall, for example, a story about how many women no longer trust celebrity endorsements. That's because most consumers, research shows, seek product and service recommendations from those who are, above all, knowledgeable and credible.

Sales has never been more difficult. From the way you connect to new sales leads to the near automatic way of closing them, the entire landscape has changed. Failing to keep up will leave you at a distinct disadvantage compared to your competition. If you were to sell today like you did in the early 1990’s, you’d be eaten alive. There’s a good to fair chance you’d never make a single sale.
