Remote selling, buying, prospecting and training is here to stay. Even as lockdowns and restrictions loosen, B2B buyers continue to embrace, but also seem to prefer, remote interactions over face-to face meetings. That’s according to new research just published by McKinsey. At Force, we’ve found similar trends. Elite sales leaders are analyzing how well they’re supporting their salespeople in the remote environment, and making strategic changes to drive continued success or improve numbers.

Selling real estate the correct way, can make the difference between remaining a mediocre Real Estate Agent or Realtor, and reaching the top 5% of your industry. The contacts you make and the people you serve can potentially help you for many years to come; not to mention, may have some terrific referrals for you too. So; what’s the correct way to go about selling real estate?

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.

By Maria Geokezas , VP of Client Services at Heinz Marketing. Managing a marketing team can be difficult. It can also be the most rewarding aspect of your job. When you search for marketing management you get all sorts of information about what marketers do – the theories, tools, and frameworks used that make up the field of marketing. It’s a lot more difficult to find information about leading a marketing team.

One of the biggest challenges in scaling a SaaS company has always been VP and SVP level talent. Especially, past $10m ARR and beyond. Outside of the SF Bay Area, and a little bit of NYC and Salt Lake City, the bench talent just isn’t there. Even today. It’s an even bigger deal in the enterprise, where the playbook to closing large deals is more critical to have down.

For 90% of us, one of the toughest adjustment to being CEOs of SaaS companies is having to constantly recruit. Once you have Initial Traction at least, you’re going to have to spend at least 20% of your time recruiting. More on that here. And really, 50% would be even better. As soon as you have something in SaaS, you have to stop being an individual contributor as much as practical.

Back in 2016, I read a book called Sprint by Jake Knapp, founder of Google Ventures. Knapp talks about focusing on only the essential activities for shipping new products and testing new ideas. As advocated in the book, I felt the idea of using restraint would help me quickly execute on new ideas. And so, the concept for a digital PR service was born.

It’s that time of year: the fourth quarter. For many of us, this is when budgets get set, deals get drafted, and your commission gets solidified. And for many salespeople desperate to fill a pipeline in the fading months of the year, that means turning to email. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of downsides that come with the convenience of email. You don’t get the benefit of reading body language, and you miss out on the responsiveness of other mediums, like a phone call.

So finally, after likely trillions of minutes of sessions, Zoom is rolling out end-to-end encryption. And while it sounds great, it’s also sort of a bit, well, almost silly as a feature. Almost. Or at least, not really necessary. Too much form over substance. Why? Because of course “end-to-end encryption” sounds like something you’d want, and it sounds like a big upgrade.

The other day Coupa did its first $1B+ acquisition, of 18+ year old Llamsoft. It took Llamasoft 18 years to get to $100m ARR, and 18 years to a $1B+ exit. There should be a lot more billion+ acquisitions in Cloud and SaaS, if only because there are more decacorns to buy them.

“ What are you looking to get out of this job? ”. “ A paycheck. ”. When does that ever go ever well in a job interview? The same goes for negotiating a raise. “ I want more money ” is never a good response to “ Why should we give you a raise? ”. Asking for a raise should be based on your contributions to the sales org — revenue, efficiency, management.

Q: Can salespeople really get customers to buy a product they don’t need? In many ways, getting folks to buy a product they don’t truly need is the art of sales. If they really, truly needed it right now … all you really need is an order taker. I’m exaggerating, but not by that much. Any “1 call close” deal really is almost pre-sold before the lead even comes in.
