If you’re a budget brand, there’s nothing wrong with a website that looks kinda cheap. But if you’re selling expensive watches or clothes? Well, that’s not the message you want to be sending. Of course, it’s all about context. Aligning design elements to your brand and business goals is important, and there are certain elements that make a site look more expensive/luxurious or cheap.

It's no secret that internet users are no strangers to seeking out the information they need online -- in fact, Google now processes over 40,000 search queries every second. And as the volume of search queries continues to climb, advertisers are recognizing an opportunity to introduce a number of different types of ads. (Think: pop-up ads, autoplaying video ads, and the dreaded mobile ad that takes up the entire phone screen.).

Fact: offering customers more choices kills conversion rates. A scientific study proved it. Fact: you can prime customers to behave in certain ways with certain phrases, images or ideas. Researchers have shown it’s true. Fact: if you give potential customers a small gift, you’ll create a debt that customers will eagerly repay. Robert Cialdini wrote about that years ago in his popular book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.

Indexing as many pages on your website as possible can be very tempting for marketers who are trying to boost their search engine authority. But, while it’s true that publishing more pages that are relevant for a particular keyword (assuming they’re also high quality) will improve your ranking for that keyword, sometimes there’s actually more value in keeping certain pages on your website out of a search engine’s index.

That moment when. I noticed the beautiful little girl, with giant blue eyes, and ghost white hair. She had a younger sister that looked just like her sitting quietly on her dad’s chest in a chest carrier. However, unlike her sister, she was anything but quiet. Standing between her mom’s legs, this little girl was unhappy. I could see the independent streak in this little firecracker.

Today I'm in Florida, preparing to speak at a company's national meeting. Like many companies, they have not only realized that selling has changed dramatically, but that their salespeople may not have adapted, developed new skills, and changed the way they sell. If you're a regular reader, active on LinkedIn or Social Media, then you have certainly read about the many ways that selling has changed.

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.

P roject management stems from a solid foundation of planning, time management, and good old-fashioned organization, but a lot can go wrong along the way. A study of 10,640 projects from 200 companies in various industries revealed that only 2.5% of the companies successfully completed 100% of their projects. So why do so many projects fail? Many project managers fall into the same handful of traps that can impede success.

Often in understanding business leadership, people tend to focus on two extreme models of leaders. The first is the “It’s all about the numbers,” leader. Typically, these are portrayed as hard charging, data driven, task and goal focused, and sometimes ruthless executives. The other model is the human/people focused leaders. These are portrayed as caring more about people, their satisfaction, creating great collaborative work environments, expecting this will produce great r

However, as search engines continue to evolve, it’s becoming more and more important for marketers to keep their content fresh and properly optimized. While it's tempting to implement a bunch of quick fixes to get your page ranking in the short term, it's important that you're also planning a strategy that will scale in the long term.

In today’s modern, multi-channel world, Sales Development Reps who use social channels as a part of their personalized selling strategy are more likely to uncover valuable buyer information, and ultimately schedule more qualified sales meetings. But what’s even more personal than a retweet or a like on a prospect’s Instagram? Meeting them at a sales event.

Technically, your boss owns your professional time. That means it's perfectly within her rights to reprioritize what you're working on if she thinks doing so is the best thing for the team. But even good bosses can have a hard time understanding what's being sacrificed when they assign new tasks and projects. And if you continuously allow your boss to pile new things on your plate, you'll eventually find yourself delaying other work or not getting it done at all.

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. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

If you think you can execute a successful sales development program on email cadence alone, you’re wrong. In today’s SaaS-level of cold calling, Sales Development Reps need to become creative sales conversation machines in order to hit their monthly quota. High performing teams use a combination of phone and email to have conversations with their prospects, and the Salesloft team is no different.

Pokemon Go has even caused car crashes as folks who were playing the game tried to catch Pokemon characters while they were driving.
