It's April 17 and nearly every salesperson is selling from home. It's just temporary, right? Maybe. But what if it's not? According to the President, Vice-President, Scientists and some Governors, the economy will begin reopening in stages, perhaps as soon as May 1. So it's back to the office and your territories, right? Wrong. You'll still be home.

There’s a certain feeling of helplessness we each feel as we look at the current global health crisis, things happening in our companies, in our communities, even with our families. We are all facing things few of us, individually or organizationally, have ever faced. We each are struggling to find answers and to make sense of what’s happening.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

The cancellation of industry events from the COVID-19 crisis poses a real problem to salespeople who rely on events-based marketing. Conferences and workshops are obviously being canceled, and the associated costs are significant. In the tech sector alone, the direct losses from the cancellation of just 10 events are more than $1.1 billion. Many companies are canceling events or postponing them until after the crisis is over.

Q: What sales tactics that are taught to new salespeople bother you enough that you refuse to use them? A few that I think really do you a disservice in SaaS, especially before you have a huge brand: “Be careful of prospects that waste your time.” Yes, your time is precious in sales. But this is backwards. Almost no one wants to waste a salesperson’s time.

By Matt Heinz , Founder and President of Heinz Marketing. For three weeks, the idea of “selling with empathy” dominated discussions in sales management circles. That may have shifted late last week, as some sales executives in our new Sales Leader Cocktail Talks series started encouraging their prospects to organize, decide and act to save (even grow) their businesses amidst the current economic shutdown.

Facing the pandemic and related challenges all over the world, the need for change is huge. That’s true in all areas of our lives — including how we run our businesses. Looking at the sales space, we are facing a few very specific challenges. Buyers are in fear, postponing decisions and cutting budgets. As a result, all selling approaches that focus on selling a product or taking an order will fail.

Gartner recently did a survey of 317 CFOs and finance professionals, and found the vast majority plan to permanently shift to more remote work going forward. This doesn’t mean letting their loffice eases expire. It does mean cramming more folks into the same or even less space. The one exception seems to be sales teams. Only 8% of sales leadership planned to make related changes here.

Online shopping makes it easier for consumers to shop more often, and throughout the day.

Everyone usually gets pretty good at segmenting customers by ACV. Large, Medium and Small. Or at least by splitting up sales-driven and self-service revenue. Or enterprise vs smaller customer. And later, we often start segmenting by vertical and industry. More of you right now should be putting that aside a bit and segmenting your customers into 3 new groups: Growing.

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.

Sales managers normally face a trifecta of shifting demands from buyers, their direct reports and their organization. The uncertainty of a crisis only heightens the challenge of balancing these demands. During this crisis, sales managers play an even more critical role than usual in your organization’s strategy: because they typically oversee 8 to 10 sellers , sales managers exert tremendous influence over whether your organization’s approach to the crisis succeeds or fails.
