I have done many workshops over the years and, normally, in the very beginning, I ask: What is it that you want to leave here with that would make this a great investment of your time? One of the top 3 answers in every situation is the question: How do I motivate or keep my sales team motivated? (Dan Pink – Ted Talk on Motivation – a great 18 minute investment!).

Chances are, you’ve heard of Google Optimize by now. It’s Google’s solution for A/B testing and personalization.

How do you configure it properly?

Where most social media feeds are almost distractingly busy -- full of photos, videos, and text updates from friends and brands you follow -- Instagram is different because you can only look at one post at a time. And while this simple, clean interface makes to easy to focus on the beautiful photography and interesting videos on Instagram, it also leaves something to be desired: the ability to easily repost other users' content.

In keeping with their tradition, the client named the two fish, Recommended and Not Recommended. Surprisingly, recruiting salespeople was not one of the topics addressed in this year's 2017 Selling Challenges Study. Steven Sparber, from Richardson , was nice enough to send me an advanced copy of the results.

The initial phase of establishing an optimization practice at any organization is an exciting time. Big wins often accompany putting companies and careers on an upward trajectory. But it can also be a real challenge knowing where to start and how to lay a solid foundation with the potential to transform the business.

Have you ever learned how to do something with the help of an internet search? The answer is most likely a resounding “yes.” Most recently, I taught myself how to fold a fitted sheet with a helpful video from homemaker extraordinaire and friend of Snoop Dogg Martha Stewart. Videos are an especially compelling way to learn how to do something online because, well, the video shows you exactly how to do it.

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.

It’s become trite to say “sales has changed more in the past 5 years than in all preceding history.” Indulge me with leveraging this trite phrase. Usually, I look at these issues from the customer point of view, knowing that much of what has changed about sales has been a result of the changing buyers. Permit me to look internally only, let’s look within our own organizations and within our profession.

Trying to break into a new account is a lot like piecing together a puzzle. You know what the final picture is going to be. It’s going to be you engaging in a meaningful way with the account’s decision makers. But like all good puzzles, it takes patience and strategy to get to that final picture. A lot of independent pieces need to fall into place first.

I always worry when a conversation with a sales executive starts with, “We need to fix our compensation problem.” The ensuing discussion usually focuses on, “We aren’t meeting our numbers, we need to fix the compensation/commission system in order to make our numbers.” At this point in the conversation, there is an uncomfortable back and forth: Me: “Why do you think your compensation structure is the problem in achieving your numbers?

It seems like everywhere you look, your professional network is becoming more fluid. It’s becoming easier for you to find and secure new positions and it’s getting easier for your colleagues and peers to find new jobs as well. That also means it’s more likely the important decision-makers at your target accounts will leave in the middle of a sale as well.

An embolism is a blockage caused by one or more bubbles of air in the circulatory system. These bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. Stopping or slowing down lead generation, qualification and nurturing programs creates what I call a “bubble-in-the-funnel.” It may not kill you, like an air embolism could, but it can be dangerous to the health of your company.

You’re a busy marketer. Your days are full of client meetings, brand research, marketing strategy sessions. Who has time to do market research for their own marketing agency? If you think market research is for clients only, better think again. As a marketer, it’s equally important for you to understand your market, its wants and needs, the state of your competition, and your place in the marketing ecosystem and pecking order.

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.
