Everywhere you look, you find artificial intelligence. No other technology has been adopted faster than AI. Unfortunately, some sales organizations and their leaders use the technology in ways that cause side effects that make it difficult for salespeople.

Did you know that around 77% of sellers cannot efficiently complete their tasks? Lack of productivity can result in lost sales, poor customer relations, and inability to complete everyday tasks. Many organizations devote a large portion of their budget to tools and programs designed to streamline their operations. However, one of the main hurdles facing CEOs and sales executives is failing to onboard their teams adequately.

In the movie “Gone in 90 Seconds,” Nicolas Cage and his crew have to steal 50 cars in a night. The goal is to steal the car in less than a minute and a half to reduce the chances of getting caught. The car is there one minute and literally gone the next. It’s eerily similar to visitors on your website. They’re there, and then they’re gone. You just have to look no further than your Google Analytics report to see it.

One of my favorite musicians is Yo Yo Ma. I was listening to an interview of him, he was reflecting on his mentor, Pablo Casals. Casals was probably the best cellist of his time.

From #1 to the bottom of the leaderboard. And the fall often happens pretty quickly, even if at the time, it’s hard to see clearly. Not usually. Usually, the top reps, the #1 and #2 reps, they hit sort of an elite level of understanding of the process, prospects, and industry.
