Like many marketers, you may fantasize about the amazing things you could do if you learned to code. But before you get there, you need to decide which language to learn. Several languages come up : Python, SQL, Bash, JavaScript. But only two are full-fledged programming languages—JavaScript and Python. If you’re interested in programming, these are the two languages that you should compare.

So, despite SaaS multiple and the public markets being at near record highs, we’ve seen things start to … wobble a bit overall in tech: The WeWork IPO simply failed , and the Peloton and Direct Smile IPOs were broken. No one really expected this. Having a high profile IPO like this fail is a bit scary. The Fed’s Repo market had to essentially be bailed out by the government.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

In ancient English lore, a Will-o-the-wisp is a mischievous spirit of swampy and dark places that uses a lantern-like light to lure unwary travelers off the path. Travelers may mistake the Will-o-the-wisp for a fellow traveler leading the way or for a kindlier spirit, such as a Leprechaun, who might lead them to treasure.

It’s a sad fact that today’s average B2B sales person is still far more comfortable talking about their products than they are discussing business issues.

Sales has traditionally been an intuition-driven profession. What do I mean by this? Well, salespeople conduct research on potential customers and then engage the best-fit prospects in conversation. This allows reps to feel out each prospect’s interest and determine whether or not they’re an ideal customer. In recent years, however, sales data and technology has changed the way that sales teams think and feel — no longer does intuition sit in the driver’s seat.

In June, CNBC reported that recently listed cloud software companies were getting crushed for poor sales execution. That’s not hard to believe. Enterprise sales is hard, which is why most businesses start as an SMB org and grow into an enterprise org. Even starting small, though, most companies fail to make this transition. And those that do often struggle through the transition, leaving behind a churn of leadership and sales resources after every funding milestone.

At Objective Management Group (OMG), we ask salespeople to record their elevator pitch and value proposition as part of the sales force evaluation. Some are OK, most are not, and for most companies, there are tremendous inconsistencies between each salesperson's messages. Elevator pitches and UVP's are usually so poorly constructed I have to wonder if anyone in sales leadership puts any time at all into formalizing their messages.
