I’ve been working on growing sales for over 30 years. First with Nautilus Exercise Equipment, then in the insurance business and for the last 23 years with Anthony Cole Training Group. It’s been at least 25 years since I heard David Sandler, on a cassette tape, say; “there’s no such thing as bad prospects, just bad salespeople.” Not bad as in character, morals or integrity- just bad a selling.

What is relationship selling? Relationship sellers prioritize their connection with the customer over all other aspects of the sale. They develop trust -- usually by adding value and spending a lot of time with prospects -- before attempting to close. “Relationship selling is essential if you have a high average selling price (ASP),” explains VidScale COO Adam Rizika.

Yours truly was thinking aloud about CTA’s recently: “As in, do CTAs really have the power to make or break website sales, as some inbound experts confidently claim, as they keep A/B testing their CTAs, over and over again?” Trust me, I didn’t have to look far and wide for an answer.

It’s a tale as old as time. A sales team is closing in on a deal when, at the last minute, a competitor takes home the win. Being the good salespeople that they are, the team checks in with the customer to find out why they lost the deal, and the answer frustrates them. The buyer made the decision based on utterly meaningless criteria.

Guest blog by Joe Rodden, Sales Systems Manager at Catalant Technologies. The end of year can often be a stressful, exciting, and chaotic time of year for a sales organization. Passion runs high as the year comes to a close and we get closer to hitting our goals. It’s also a great time for retrospectives and planning for the year to come. As the sales team does everything they can to hit their numbers, it’s important that we (sales ops) do everything we can to help them cross the finish line.

The article I wrote, Moving From Selling As An Art To Selling As A Science , has stirred up a lot of reaction in the various venues in which it’s appeared. There have been various comments, mostly supportive. Many suggest, I think correctly, that sales is a blend of art and science. Robert Racine added the great insight that professional selling is a blend of art, craft, and science.

We write quite a bit about the most effective ways to use Facebook. How can you grow your audience? How can you reach the right people? And what's the best way to use ads? And in March, when Facebook launched its mobile-only Collection ads feature, marketers responsible for ad spend took note. Now, instead of simply publishing a single image or video, brands could now pair this visual content with something like a product catalog related to it.

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.

We all struggle with change. Most of the time it’s impatience with those around us who aren’t changing. it may be our people, our customers, others in our organization. They struggle with change, they resist it, they get confused. Change is always tough, it threatens us, it puts us in unfamiliar situations. We may be uncomfortable, we may not know what to do or how to do it.

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.

My biggest problem with New Years Resolutions in years past is that they are too rigid and destination-oriented. Too often I set aggressive goals without thinking about how I’m going to tactically achieve them. Then when I fail to make unspecified progress, I (like a lot of people) give up an wait until next year. Last year I focused instead on a set of habits.

What better way to end the year than with a confession. Might be good for my soul. I was sitting around the other day and I was musing about what terrible liars some salespeople are. They are actually terrible on two counts …. They lie about the most basic, and yet the most important, things. They are not even that good at lying. I can easily discern whether you are flat out lying to me or if you really not sure but, you tell me that you are anyway.
