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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.

I already know what you’re thinking.

Don’t worry, that’s not what this is. You already know that having and documenting your strategy is important because you’ve probably read the same reports and case studies that my team and I have read.

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?

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.

When it comes to writing text for your blog and social media posts, many marketers wonder, "But what's the character limit?" It's never a simple question -- sometimes, it's answered by parameters established by certain channels. And on other occasions, it's more a question of what's ideal. For example, you probably know the character limit for a tweet is 140, but did you know that the ideal length is actually less than that?
