My pup, Rocky, loves to lay on top of pillows. ALL pillows. He doesn’t care if they are round, square, flat, cushy, or even sewn on and attached to the back of the couch- he will find a way to lay on them. And though it irritates me to no end to walk into a room to find all of my decorative pillows haphazardly thrown around, I must appreciate Rocky’s determination.

The customer is not refusing your price because it’s too high. They’re refusing it because the value is too low. The real reason you had to cut your price is because you failed to match the value you offer to the outcome the customer was desiring. I just bought a new suitcase and I paid […].

Movie producers and inbound marketers aren't that different when it comes to creating and editing video content. We're both telling a story, and whether that story is about a protagonist or a product, we're both trying to captive our audiences and make them believe in the story we tell. What happens at the end of the story is a little different, though.

Not all sellers who are behind on their sales targets should be terminated. But, any seller who is behind and uncoachable should be terminated immediately. Uncoachable sellers are unable to improve because they are unwilling.

Did you watch the Home Run Derby on Monday night? I've never seen anything like it. You could see thunder and lightening through the glass wall in left field as thunderstorms raged while all the home runs were being launched. Wow, what a show! Of course, my mind always looks for a correlation to selling and there are some good ones here. The sales equivalent to the Home Run Derby wouldn't really work - buyers lining up to place orders with the greatest salespeople on the planet.

Today, most of what I hear from sales people and executives is they are opportunity starved. They are all desperate to find more qualified opportunities. Prospecting and lead gen have become the dominant issues in many sales organizations. There are, of course, the ongoing challenges of making sales people understand they must prospect! Clearly, lead gen programs aren’t producing enough and it is irresponsible for sales people not to prospect.

“I’m giving notice today.” What manager longs to hear those words from a sales rep? Those words typically don’t make a sales leader’s day. Yet maybe some rep change isn’t the disaster or reason to make a lot of changes. I will share the good, the bad, and the ugly of sales rep turnover. Let’s look closer… Many years ago I was calculating turnover rates for the teams within the company I was working with.

I get asked this question all the time. The argument people say is nobody listens to them, and even if they do, they never call back anyway, so it’s a waste of time. There are a lot of reasons I don’t agree with that, and they’re spelled out in my book, but one that […].

Mayo on a sandwich. Hot sauce on a taco. Hot fudge on a sundae. All things that when used correctly make the thing they complement way better. But If you use too much of any of them, or use them in the wrong context (hot sauce on a sundae? No thanks.), or simply use them wrong (gobs of mayo, instead of a thin layer), you’ve ruined a perfectly tasty snack.

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 an age old adage, “You get what you measure and compensate for.” If it were true, why do we have such a gap in sales quota performance? We’re measuring it, we’re tracking it, but the majority of sales people aren’t achieving their goals. There are a lot of things that impact quota performance, but I suspect a large part of the challenge are the other things we measure, hold people accountable for, even compensate at some level.

Too often, we seem to focused on volume, velocity and activity levels, thinking that the more things we do, the better we are. We set goals for number of prospecting calls, numbers of meetings, and any number of things. The thinking is, if we simply do more, we produce more. On face value, that makes sense. Having 20 prospecting conversations a week is twice as good as having 10 prospecting conversations a week (assuming all else is equal).

Your discovery calls can have a big impact on the deals you’re working. A positive outcome drives your sales cycle forward with ease, while a lackluster call can have your prospect pumping the breaks. With so much hanging in the balance, you’re probably asking yourself “how can I improve my discovery calls?”. We partnered with Gong.io to analyze over 500,000 discovery calls and what we found is that a lot of your call’s strength comes down to the questions; the number of questions you ask, the t

Email marketing might be entering a mid-life crisis. According to Entrepreneur , 2017 marks its 40th birthday, with 1978 cited as the year when the first marketing email was delivered. The sender, the story goes, was Gary Thuerk, an employee of Digital Equipment Corporation -- an infamous legend, of sorts, who's referred to by some as the " father of spam.".

Unfortunately, when it comes to scheduling your first meeting with a prospect, no shows can and will happen. Take a look at your own schedule. Your time is probably dominated by meetings and appointments. Your prospect’s calendars no doubt look pretty similar. Combine their already busy schedules with the occasional fire drill that pops up and it’s no wonder that daily business events take precedence over hopping on a sales call.

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.

In Sales & Sales Leadership, our approach to Paid Time Off (PTO) is incomprehensible to many of our own non-sales colleagues.

We tell them our value propositions, then letting them figure out whether it means anything to them. Perhaps we take the time to understand what they value, then presenting our value in the context of what they value.
