When it comes to improving your sales team’s performance any training has to be better than no training, right? Wrong. If you select the wrong sales training program, you’ll just be throwing company resources down the drain, and your team may even learn bad habits.

There are plenty of appealing aspects of having an online business. For one thing, it’s more accessible to a wider variety of people, since they won’t have to travel in order to see what your company is all about. It’s also cheaper to operate; you won’t have to pay rent on a retail space, for example. That being said, you should still leave a generous allowance in your budget for website maintenance and the occasional website redesign ; after all, this is often the first and only way people lear

In this series, we’ve been discussing the finding of meaning within sales. Why is this so important? The world is in a serious uproar. We know we can never go back to the way things were. From now on it’s an entire different world, with changes on a par to when the Berlin wall was erected. Hopefully, there will be peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, but whatever happens, war has come to a continent on which we never thought there would be war again.

Activity gets a bad rap. Just suggesting that more activity might be necessary to improve results makes sales leaders and sales managers nervous. They don't want to ask their sales force to make more calls (yes, calls) and schedule more meetings with prospects whose outcomes you sincerely want to improve.

I’m fascinated by studying lazy sales people! Let me qualify that a little, I’m fascinated by studying lazy sales people that consistently achieve their goals. There seems to be a “macho” mentality in too many sales people/leaders. They express pride in how many calls they make, how many dials, how many emails, how much social selling engagement, how they are leveraging the tools.

The greatest leaders are the ones who never let their team rest on their success, or wallow in defeat. At the end of the quarter, avoid screaming at the scoreboard. The final score only gives you the end result. It doesn’t tell you the whole story. It’s your responsibility as a sales leader to help your team uncover and address execution challenges.

The fourth and final category is "Exceptional." Every move up this continuum requires a greater investment from your company, as it is the only way to deliver the better results your clients need.

Dear SaaStr: When Is It Too Early to Hire a CRO or a COO? I used to think CROs and COOs were made up titles until “Late Stage” or so, and in startups, a bit of a sign of weakness. Signs a weak CEO was giving away a fancy title to someone that wasn’t really willing to do the work. I used to think there’s no way a SaaS startup needed a “CRO” or “COO” (or even “CMO”) or other C-level Officers Without a Clear, Single Functional Area to Own Until $40m-50m+ in ARR.

We rarely analyze how performance in sales leadership intersects with individual salespeople’s results. Instead, it's assumed that any group of salespeople will produce results that end in a Gaussian distribution (a Bell Curve), with a top 20% on the right, 60% of results in the middle, and the last 20% on the left, at the bottom of the curve.

Large companies with a purchasing function and professional buyers treat the buying process as something transactional. In doing so, they assume their potential "suppliers" are all similar and equally capable of providing them the goods or services they need. To determine who makes the vendor list, they use a process called an RFP, or Request for Proposal.
