The best sales methodology for your situation will change; it’s not static. Your company needs different sales methodologies at different stages of its maturity. The sales methodology that works in one stage of your company’s growth may actually harm it at a different stage. You often have to reverse your prior sales methodologies, even if they were once successful.

Let’s call these five the most irritating and common behaviors of less-than-professional sales professionals. 1. Talking Too Much. How have we not figured this out?

“When I think about working with a recruiter I cringe.”. These words are straight from the mouth of a dear friend and colleague. And I hate that they exist. But let’s face it… they’re not exactly unfounded, are they? I’ve spent 20 years working with recruiters and talent leaders in HR Tech sales (plus the last 3 in recruiting here at Avenue Talent Partners) and I want to address the elephant in the room: sales recruiting as an industry is cringe-worthy.

Social media is plagued with incivility. Whether hiding in anonymity, emboldened by not having to deal face to face, every day we experience unspeakable behaviors and actions.

Nowadays, marketers can measure almost everything, giving us an unprecedented ability to gauge the performance of our marketing campaigns. But, sometimes, we can get overly obsessed with the metrics that look good on paper but don’t provide as much insight we think, like clicks and views. A high dose of traffic can prove your headline’s quality if you’re a blogger, but it doesn’t tell you the whole story of what path your visitors take on your blog, or how exactly they engage with the page.

When I was taught the concept of a value proposition, back as people were just learning how to shape wheels from stones, it was basically an enhanced version of feature, advantage, benefit (FABs).

My friend, Tim Ohai, made an interesting statement, “Sadly many sales people have no idea how to identify when no customer problem exists.” I think there is a lot of truth to the statement. Perhaps the reality is that too many sales people aren’t even identifying the customer problem–the customer is. There’s some evidence to support this, increasingly, sales people are getting involved later in the customer buying process.
