Facebook ads, when utilized properly, are among the most effective targeted marketing efforts in the industry. However, it’s often the case that companies are leaving money on the table when it comes to Facebook ads. Often, there are simple customer segments (that you already have access to) that you can target with Facebook Ads very effectively.

When Objective Management Group (OMG) announced that it was making its findings data available to the public, we knew that it wouldn't take long for someone with a flair for analytics to dig in and come up with something cool. Last week, John Cousineau, creator of Abicus, got me on a video conference and shared what he came up with.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression -- that’s why your homepage is undoubtedly one of the most important web pages on your website. For any given company, the homepage is its virtual front door. If a new visitor doesn't like what they see, their knee-jerk reaction is to hit the "back" button. That's right -- unfortunately, a lot of people still judge a book by its cover.

I saw a question this week in a sales community on LinkedIn. A member was looking for a referral for sales management training. What struck me hard was that he said he’d reached out to four companies who offer sales management training services. Three days had gone by, and only one of the companies had reached out to him.

I don't know about you, but I miss going to school. I miss taking notes, studying, and most of all, learning a ton of new skills. That's not to say I don't learn a lot on the job here at HubSpot -- because I absolutely do. But sometimes, there's nothing quite like listening to a lecture, taking notes, and doing homework. Given the frequency at which new technologies and software are developed, it can be overwhelming to try to keep up your knowledge by only reading blog posts and ebooks.

If I were to assess the worlds of buying and selling through much of what I read, I would come up with the conclusion that Customers and Sales people are on diverging paths, we are doing as much to minimize our interactions with each other. The Holy Grail of these diverging paths is AI–from a buyers perspective, helping us buy efficiently and intelligently.

Every salesperson has them. You know, that awkward moment where you say something wrong, or the client does something crazy, or. You can fill in the blank. I remember my most awkward moment. It was my first sales job. I had been in the position for about a 4 months. I was just finishing up a great sales call and in an effort to cement the relationship, I asked the buyer.

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.

When I sit down to write an article, I have a pretty standard routine. I outline the story in our Content Optimization System (COS), copy and paste it into a Google doc, find a good photo to accompany it, do research, write, proofread, and carry it back over to our COS. It’s a weird series of steps that doesn’t necessarily work for everyone, but it does for me.

While new technology is flooding into the sales industry daily, much of it is focused on improving the two oldest tools in a sales rep’s arsenal: phone and email. Phone and email are the bread and butter of the modern sales rep and this is not likely to change anytime soon. While new channels like social selling have carved out a niche of their own, they’re unlikely to usurp phone and email for the simple reason that those new channels are not used as frequently by the customer.

Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
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.

Beyond the sheer volume, we’re also missing the mark in messaging (see below).

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the responsibility of journalists to tell the truth. However, there seems to be one part of the news-making equation that has so far been given a free pass, and that’s the information provided to newsrooms by PR. Due to cutbacks in journalism, and the demands of the new media environment we live in, short staffed newsrooms are tasked to produce high quantities of content every day.

A few weeks ago I said the tell me economy is dead and I meant it. The ability to be successful today by telling people why you’re a bad ass is quickly being replaced by the show me economy. People are less and less interested in what you tell them and are expecting you to show them what you know, what you can do and how it affects them. This is truer when it comes to your career than ever before, and the people taking advantage of this right now are the ones winning.

Testing in an enterprise is truly a team sport. If a testing program was a football team, its lead would be the QB. They can set the tone and direction, but without the support of a good offensive line, they’ll be scrambling to get any real results. To get a good “offensive line” in your company, you’ll need to get buy-in from the right people. Lean technology companies can rapidly test with as few as one person, but in a large corporation, knowing how to navigate the organization is just as imp
