Mark Twain once said that someone who doesn’t read is no better off than someone who can’t read. Yet, here we are in the third decade of the 21st century and we are post-literate. Most people you learned about in school—due to their accomplishments—were readers. They studied what was written before they were born, including the Greeks, the Romans, and the many great thinkers through time.

We were at the Zoo when we came upon this particular monkey. He was holding on to the chainlink fence with both hands and both feet – probably not very unusual for a monkey, but he was sitting on a basketball! So the monkey is following a traditional methodology for hanging on, but being authentic, allowing his silly personality to come through, and getting those who were interacting with him to laugh.

I’m amazed at the number of sellers that really don’t believe their value proposition or value creation. How do I know this? They don’t know enough about what I’m trying to achieve to be able to articulate and quantify the value I should expect from their solution. They answer concerns I have with product capabilities, not what the solution means to me and my organization and what we are trying to achieve.

Many salespeople want to act strategically but choose transactional communication mediums. You may believe no one wants to talk to you and that they prefer emails or text messages, although this is clearly not true. In sales today, the main variable is what and how salespeople communicate with their contacts and prospects.
Speaker: Frank Taliano
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.

Recently, sitting with a sales management team, we started discussing the “Sales Process.” They displayed their sales process. As you might expect, the process was divided int a number of stages.

For as long as anyone can remember, sales leaders have sought a way to ensure their team wins deals. They spent a lot of time and money developing a linear sales process that promised salespeople could consistently win deals simply by achieving the outcome of each opportunity stage. The fallacy is that the linear sales process disregards any other variables, including the quality of the salesperson, the value of the conversation to the client, and other elements that cannot be defined by a simpl

You have been taught, trained, and told stories in sales. These stories may include your company’s history, starting from its inception up to the present day, or the story of your solution and how your company discovered a better way to deliver value. But the most used story is about a client that bought from the salesperson’s company and achieved amazing results.
Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible.
