Recruiting new sales talent and hiring better salespeople are complicated and time-consuming processes. Especially, when you're not prepared to fill a vacancy, don't have a pipeline of candidates, or have an idea of what "better" means for your business.

The idea of a “sales process” has been around since long before I was offered my first sales role. The concept has been heavily promoted by the mainstream sales methodology vendors and adopted with varying degrees of effectiveness by many sales organisations.

“Never underestimate the laziness of buyers.”. That was the advice a mentor gave me. He was someone I trusted, respected, and would take all of his suggestions and put them into play. Yet this advice was very offending to me because I’ve never considered my buyers or my clients as lazy people. No, they’re hardworking, they’re really smart, and they care about what they’re doing.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

In this blog, we discuss why prospects object when it comes down to buying time, and why we can't always blame the prospects in these situations.

In sales, the common misconception is that by saying the right thing you’ll win the deal. But what we started to realize after introducing Question-Based Selling (QBS) to our sales organization is that it’s impossible to know what to say without understanding the person and/or organization we were selling to. The post How Question-Selling Can Triple the Value of Your Service appeared first on Predictable Revenue.

First impressions are key. Would you show up to a black tie event in your favorite Netflix binge-watching sweats? Of course not. Your sales email subject lines are the first impressions you project to your prospects with every email you send. Are you putting on your best suit every time you hit send? We've learned a lot about what works by analyzing the data from tens of thousands of our own emails.

Q: How do you pull your SaaS competitor’s customers to your SaaS instead? You have to be where your competitors are. You have to show up. Many startups try to avoid the places their larger competitors are. They avoid the same tradeshows. They don’t sponsor the same newsletters and services. They try to stake out their own marketing white space. While that’s a good idea, you also want to be exactly where your competitors are.

Traffic attribution identifies which sources drive visitors to a web property. And it’s impossible to credit a conversion to the correct source without first knowing how a visitor got to a website. In other words, the foundation of conversion attribution is traffic attribution. Simple as it may sound, attributing a session to its traffic source can be tricky, even impossible.

Social selling became a buzzword around 2014 in the sales industry, and it’s already becoming outdated and ineffective for teams that use LinkedIn as just another inbox. 91% of executives rate LinkedIn as their first choice for professionally relevant content, but the content they’re looking for isn’t in their inbox, it’s delivered straight to their feed.

I read an article from a very large consulting company entitled, “Have you made it safe to fail?” Frankly, it’s social psycho-babble. It’s the equivalent of saying, “everyone gets a trophy, regardless of whether they win or lose.” The article will draw eyeballs, but I think they miss the point, consequently much of the value around failure.

They worked over the weekend and fixed it! Beyond above and beyond.

By Lauren Dichter , Marketing Consultant at Heinz Marketing. If I’ve learned anything in my career over the past couple of years, it’s that targeting the right accounts is the most important part of a B2B account-based marketing program. Every other piece of the ABM strategy can be perfect, but without the right targets, the program can’t successfully guide potential customers through the marketing and sales funnel towards a buying decision.

To some marketers, A/B tests are a no-brainer. After all, there's nothing like knowing which marketing content is preferred with your target audience, before sending it out to the masses. Even though the test is a timeless marketing technique, it can be a little frustrating because of the uncertainty of it all. Thankfully, there's an unlikely superhero to point to when we're talking about the upgrades to a regular A/B test — machine learning.

I can’t write a single line of code. So, it was a big surprise to me when I was asked to lead our new global web strategy team three years ago. If you've followed HubSpot's history, it’s also probably a big surprise to you that we had 20,000 customers and went public years before we had a team to manage our web strategy. And, as you might expect, things were pretty complicated before my team was implemented.

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.
