One of the recurring complaints I hear from sales leaders and sales managers is that their sales teams don't ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions are necessary to acquire all kinds of information that will make it easier to sell to the client and their stakeholders. Some part of the reticence to ask these questions may come from the fear that there may be a lack of business acumen to address the response to the question.

One of the great tragedies of the digital marketing world is that “ PPC ” folks and “paid social” folks don’t see themselves at the same marketing table – even as ad networks push them closer and closer. Advertisers who are “Google-first” or “Meta-first” tend to struggle to make the leap to the alternate platform. Yet, as paid media (i.e., more than just SERP and feed-based) becomes the norm, advertisers will need to get comfortable translating their strategies across platforms.
