Only the rarest of sales organizations use a model with soft skills, let alone work to develop them. As a professional, you will need to build these skills on your own. You may have noticed you only ever win a client's business by working with other human beings. When your primary role is helping other people change, your soft skills provide a competitive advantage.

Negotiate by definition is to deal or bargain with others in preparation of a contract or business deal. As a verb, negotiate means to move through in a satisfactory manner. In the world of selling, both of those definitions are relevant and important. Oftentimes, sales negotiation tactics seem to be related to price – giving or getting the best rate or fees for a product or service.

A colleague and I were reflecting on past managers/mentors we each had over our careers. We talked about the great ones and what set them apart. Eventually, we came upon the one thing common with each of our experiences. While different managers displayed this characteristic in different ways, the common thing was: For some reason, they believed in each of us, more than we believed in ourselves.

There are three generations of sales approaches being used today. The first is the legacy approach, which is over 50 years old. The second and most common is the legacy solution approach, which is around 35 years old. The third approach is the modern sales approach, and ironically, it is the oldest of the three.

The post Creating A Successful Digital Marketing Plan For Restaurants appeared first on ClickFunnels. Digital marketing can be a great way to get people to come to your restaurant. However, most restaurants are approaching it haphazardly, without any clear strategy behind their digital marketing efforts. That is a waste of time, energy, and money. You can’t afford to flail around hoping that something works!

Most sales representatives struggle to figure out a better procedure, but there is a way to improve sales more quickly. A traditional approach is, ‘if you don’t know, just ask.’ But the qualifier is the differentiator for success, which is who you ask matters most. Adding to the dilemma is that each company operates differently, so how can one uniformly ask the right question and person to improve sales?

You and I are making cold calls to schedule meetings with our prospective clients.

The date on that document is more than a decade old, but both of us use it anyway when we ask for a meeting. And every contact refuses to add us to their calendar.

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. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

I participate in lots of sales calls. Sometimes observing what’s going on, sometimes as a contributor. Most of the time, they seem like “verbal ping pong.” Someone asks a question or makes a statement (seller or customer), the other responds. Back and forth, sometimes agreeing, sometimes objecting, all practiced, mindless responses–back and forth.

Your path to revenue growth begins with your ability to fill your pipeline. Without a full pipeline, growth isn't likely. It's easy to believe that generating more opportunities is the best strategy, which is why some sales leaders require 300 percent of goal.

My take on objections is that most of the time, they mask a client’s real concerns. Because the client is uncertain, they use objections to avoid a decision or a commitment. Some objections can be taken at face value, while others need to a little interpretation to get at the client’s underlying concern. In the past, sales rebuttals were like arguments, and they didn't help the prospective client move forward.

Recently, I was speaking to the leadership team of a sales organization. They were struggling with getting their people to develop and execute their account plans. They had invested a lot in training, content, and other programs to support the account based selling focus. But things weren’t changing. People were going through the motions of developing their account plans, they would review them with management, then they went back to doing their jobs in the way they had always done them.

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.

If you’re one of those shoppers (like me) who looks at the price first, deciphering customer data platform (CDP) pricing will frustrate you. CDP pricing is complicated for two reasons. CDPs do different sorts of things. CDPs have different “origin stories,” and their pricing is often a relic of what they used to be and do. A CDP that started as an email service provider might base its price on events, like emails sent, page views, clicks, etc.

It’s not uncommon for people to believe that a prospect will buy from them if they simply offer the best price, or provide the most value. There are, indeed, plenty of potential customers for whom these are the most important factors. But there’s one factor – likability – that not only gives you an edge against your competition, it can actually make up for a higher price and lack of perceived value.
