Free trials are a great marketing tactic. Everyone loves free. Signing up for one is easy. A first name here, an email address there, and you have access. But as a business owner, there’s a massive gap between getting names and getting dollars. How many free trial users end up as paying customers? Depends on your conversion model: A Totango study in 2012 found an average of 50% when a credit card was required for the free trial, but only 15% when a credit card wasn’t necessary.

If you are not familiar with the Charlie App, it was a neat little platform that would discover social, news, and bio information on your contacts. Where it really shined was when it integrated with your calendar events and would deliver these dossiers, via email, to you prior to a scheduled meeting. Recently, Charlie shut down but, over the last year, what it was really doing was morphing into Detective.

The LanguageLine leadership team made a decision nine months ago to embrace social selling. Very quickly, we understood that social selling is a permanent component of the sales landscape and that to ignore it would be perilous. It did not take long for us to grasp that our buyers have changed, and the majority of the buying journey is now completed before a salesperson even becomes involved.

When it comes to icebreakers, “describe yourself in three words” is by far one of the toughest. You’re a complex person, with unique ambitions, experiences, preferences, and traits -- how are you possibly supposed to distill yourself down to three mere words? Unfortunately, get-to-know-you conversations aren’t the only time you’ll face this prompt. LinkedIn headlines are essentially the professional version: They ask you to describe who you are and what you do in just one line.

I recently joked with TrackMaven CEO Allen Gannett , suggesting when sales development reps, or SDRs, report to marketing, they send one perfect email per day. When they report to sales, SDRs send hundreds of lousy ones. As trends like account-based marketing (ABM) gain momentum, the productivity of SDRs becomes increasingly important, because ABM hinges on effective prospecting.
