By Tibor Shanto. Despite advancements in tools, methodologies, and other attempts, sales as a profession continues to struggle. Quota attainment remains under 60%, closed forecasted deals aren’t much better. One has to ask what is being enabled by the new breed of soothsayers. A structured and enabled mess is still a mess. As with most things it is rarely about the what and the how, success is always about understanding why.

Productive teams are integral parts of successful companies. The right individuals can start a company, but a team that makes sure each facet of your business performs at its highest level ensures its longevity. Each team and its members must be on the same page about what should be prioritized to grow the business. One of those priorities is consistently increasing conversions.

A long time ago, I formulated a rule for prospecting—the Trading Value Rule —that extends far beyond acquiring a meeting with your dream client. In fact, it applies to every commitment and every client conversation. Those who do not trade value are doomed to failed pitches and results far below their potential.

It’s no secret that I believe Salesforce has outlived its ranking as a top-rated sales tool. It was a game changer when it came out, by moving CRM to the cloud, but it’s grown top-heavy, expensive, cumbersome, and, frankly, makes life hard for salespeople and their leaders.

3 Ways Taking Out A Personal Loan Can Improve Your Life. A personal loan is a short and small-scale loan that does not have to be used in a designated way.

We sometimes reduce a strategy to a brief description, without providing a deep enough explanation to communicate how and why to pursue it. This is often the case with insight-based selling and, in some ways, the entire modern sales approach. Insights and a provocative perspective are merely tools. We use these tools because they allow us to achieve a desired result, one that benefits the prospective client by helping them change and improve their business.

The legacy approach most salespeople still use focuses on asking prospective clients about their problems. Some believe each client has a unique problem, something completely different from other clients, so they use a lot of time trying to elicit every sordid detail. This is why decision-makers don't find a great deal of value in this approach.

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.

Long gone are the days when marketers could dismiss these technologies as a fad or as applications not ready for the mass market. With many technology heavy-hitters like Meta (Facebook) and Apple racing to be the first to offer a truly seamless immersive experience, there appears to be little doubt that we will get this technology into the hands of the mainstream.

In fact, one of the 10 most unforced errors I see founders make is hire someone too junior to get marketing going. If you are say $500k in ARR, you can’t hire a CMO that needs a team of 15-20 around her/him. You just don’t have the capital or infrastructure.
