In this article, we focus on Sales Coaching for Sales Coaches. Often, in sales, the sales manager is not held to the same standards as those on the sales force. While sales people are monitored on their calls, emails, CRM activity, and follow-up methodologies, the same cannot always be said for sales management.

86% of all salespeople have beliefs that don't support ideal sales outcomes. That's important because beliefs influence behavior, and appropriate sales behavior drives results. Think about sales process, sales methodology, sales strategy and sales tactics. Salespeople who have the ability to execute those four elements of success are less dependent on their knowledge of selling than what they believe.

When I say sales presentation, I don’t just mean any sales presentation. This is the big one. Maybe you’re one of three finalists for a 5X deal (i.e. five times larger than your average deal size). Perhaps retaining your largest customer depends on your ability to convey why your customer should remain loyal to you against a sea of competitors. When it comes to TOP Line Accounts , your biggest and best opportunities often include a sales presentation.

Effective marketing is difficult to get right. Between creative demands, budget limits, and channel decisions, marketers have a lot to juggle when developing their marketing strategy. The biggest determinant of effective marketing, however, is your audience. If you’re not properly targeting your buyer persona, your promotions and advertisements will likely fall on deaf ears.

A few thoughts to excel as someone new to SaaS sales: Really learn the product cold. As fundamentally as you can. Every prospect and customer is owed a true solution sale approach. Sales is there to close a deal, yes, but that should just be 10% of it — 90% of the “work” should be to solve your prospect and customer’s problems. You can only solve a customer’s problems if you know the product you are selling cold.

Sales prospecting methods can be confusing for Sales Professionals and Business Owners. However, whether you’re in B2B or B2C , sales prospecting should be a part of your daily activities. One of the reasons why Sales Professionals don’t do it daily, is because they either don’t know the sales prospecting methods to use, or they aren’t clear on the targets they need to hit to make it efficient and effective.

It seems the universal answer to every sales performance answer is to do more. We’re chastised to close more deals, get more into the pipeline, spend more time with customers, spend more time–period, just do more. Regardless of where the challenge is, whether it’s our close rates, our average deal value, our sales cycle, our ability to create value, our pipeline volumes; the dominant solution is to focus on the top of the pipeline, prospecting.

We just get a fraction of that 17%. (I’d be interested in seeing an update to that research, I suspect it will be less than 17%.). Customers are looking for, and finding, answers in other places.

One person might think being productive is conquering their never-ending inbox by the end of the day, while another perceives it as working as many hours as possible.

An email drip campaign is a series of messages that are sent, or “dripped,” in a predefined order at a predefined interval. So, for example, if someone joins your email list, they receive Email #1 upon signup, Email #2 three days later, Email #3 five days after they join, and so on. You can automate drip email campaigns with autoresponder software (e.g.

Preface: Sometimes holiday weekends give me the chance to sit back, reflect, looking at things a little more broadly or philosophically than normally. I’m, also, prone to wandering a little, so forgive me. Perhaps this is more for me than you, but I hope you get value, as well. I suppose it’s naive to think the level and quality of discourse on selling be any different than that we see in society in general.

Slow down access to new features, to semi-documented APIs. Slow down access to their team. In fact, the partner’s sales team appears to have quietly dropped them entirely as a recommended app.

Meanwhile, sales begins using a talk track that’s completely off-the-mark because they didn’t have the right information on hand. We’ve all been there, and it doesn’t end well. The age-old cliche of sales and marketing butting heads is all too real.
