In 1975, I was Junior offensive lineman at UConn. On the team that year were a group of seniors that knew that their playing days were pretty much over. Younger players had been recruited and they were starting ahead of them. Those seniors formed a bit of a club – the Coast-to-Coast Club.

In This Episode of The Buyer’s Mind with Jeff Shore: Bob Burg, author of The Go-Giver Influencer, talks with Jeff about the difference between influence and manipulation.

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.

Some marketers might have an unhealthy obsession with metrics -- they track too many of them. Maybe we think we can prove any marketing campaign is producing results if there’s a eye-catching percentage by its name. But, deep down, we all know that some metrics are more revealing than others. There are a ton of KPIs that provide minimal insights. Fortunately, though, we created this guide to help you navigate YouTube Analytics and measure the metrics that actually matter.

Below are six examples of sales discovery questions you should ask your prospects for an accelerated sales process. In sales, it’s normal to spend hours rehearsing for an upcoming demo and fine-tuning the deck. But when it comes to the discovery call , many of us assume we can wing it.
