Recently someone responded to a LinkedIn post suggesting the most important thing for the salesperson to know is their product. There was a time when that might have been true, but that time has come and gone. Of course, it's important to know your product, but it isn't the most important thing in a consultative sale , a sale where counsel, advice, and recommendations are the primary value.

It isn't easy to be a sales leader or a sales manager. There is an unrelenting need to create new opportunities, win new deals and the net new revenue that fuels a company's growth. There are a lot of variables to sales success, including the individuals in sales roles and the nature of their work. Two people in accounting in two different companies are not engaged in a contest to see which of them will win a third party's business, but this is exactly what salespeople do every day.

I was thirteen years old and just starting high school when a friend asked me if I wanted to go to work washing dishes at a big Italian banquet center. His mother had taken a job there and the owner mentioned they need dishwashers. I jumped at the chance to make money, and I was paid $3.35 per hour. The family that owned the business also fed me prime rib, lasagna, and chocolate mousse.

Social media is still one of the most powerful marketing channels. Social platforms enable word-of-mouth, brand authenticity, brand trust, community and more. All of this comes with a degree of brand risk because it is very easy to stumble given the speed with which information travels on social media. More established platforms have also become more pay-to-play.

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.

Everything in selling today is about “Insight.” But we make insights more complicated than they need be. We tend to think that insights are game changing things we can tell customers. Whether it’s industry/market data, things that are happening in the industry, observations about what is happening with their customers or competitors; we believe we need to make a statement or take a position.

Roughly — very roughly — you want to be multiproduct in SaaS by the time you have 10,000 customers. For enterprise, this could be $300m-500m in ARR. For multi-market, this could be $100m in ARR. For SMB, it could be $20m-$30m in ARR. — Jason BeKind Lemkin #???????????? (@jasonlk) April 29, 2022.

A lawsuit could come from a disgruntled employee, a dissatisfied client, or someone who slips and falls on your property. That could drain your bank account and jeopardize your business. While no one can control every business situation or entirely avoid lawsuits, it’s your responsibility to limit risk where possible and keep your business running smoothly.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs.
