Most sales managers say that one of their greatest challenges is their ability to motivate and set goals for their salespeople.

This is one of those knee jerk reaction posts. Two things happened in the past few days. I attended a conference. I was sitting toward the back of the room, there were about 100 people arrayed around tables watching the speaker. The speaker was a noted expert in the subject area. People had paid a lot of money just to hear that speaker (over $1K). As I looked around the audience, few eyes were on the speaker.

Whether you’re a sales leader, manager, or seller, we’ve all been hearing a lot about the potential of AI for sales. You may already be incorporating some AI-powered tools in your sales stack.

So there are few things more frustrating than when hit “Contact Me” — which after all, is a high-intent signal — and no one gets back to you that day. Or the next. Or just as bad, a few days later, a BDR or SDR gets back to you — but not to help, but to qualify you. So frustrating. Later, when you have RevOps and SalesOps and a proven VP of Sales, they’ll own this.

We live in a world of “discomfort.” And our natural tendencies are to actively avoid or escape discomfort or uncomfortable situations. Our discomfort tends to arise when things aren’t happening the way we expected them to happen. We expect a certain response or reaction in a conversation, and we get something entirely different from what we may have wanted or hoped for.

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.

Summertime……warm breezes and cool beverages. Living is easy, right? For those of us in sales, not so much. As we speed towards the midpoint in our selling year, we assess our 2024 performance and unless we are among the lucky ones who have nailed big Q1 or Q2 deals, we see that much work remains to be done to position ourselves for a strong year. Not that we can’t enjoy some of our summer but as we all know, in sales there’s no rest for the weary.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs.

As spring blossoms into summer, it feels like an apt time to address “walled gardens” in digital advertising.
