The new year is upon us, and along with it comes new sales resolutions. One of the most popular sales resolutions for 2022 will be a commitment to reduce non-selling activity. Did you know that most salespeople spend over 60% of their time not selling. Imagine how much revenue those sales orgs are losing every single year. The quickest way to resolve this problem is to automate Salesforce.

The Gist: We sometimes overestimate our competition, making them a sort of bugaboo. There is nothing you can do about how your rivals compete. You should, however, know their approach so you can counter their strategies. Chances are, you worry too much about your competition. For one thing, you can’t really do anything about how your competitors go about pursuing deals.

By Tibor Shanto. A week or so back, I posted about the “ summer lull ,” suggesting it could be more myth than fact. Some enterprising salespeople asked what they should do during this period? Well, it is a great time to do all those things you tell me you want to do but never have time for. Every time I suggest salespeople practice the basics, they tell me they have not time, well now is the time, summer.

In other words, by leading their customers through the buying process and reducing distractions and choice, they can make it easier for their customers to buy and reduce feelings of post-purchase regret.

This is a conundrum for most sales managers, as sales productivity is one of the common selling points of the Salesforce CRM platform.

The Gist: Early legacy approaches to sales leveraged external factors to create a competitive advantage. Eventually, these approaches settled on “solutions” as the main advantage. Over the last decade, the competitive advantage has shifted to the salesperson’s ability to create value around decisions and results. Salespeople have tried many ways to compete for and win new business , most of which have produced uneven results.

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.

By Tibor Shanto. One of the reasons I like sales is you don’t need an MBA to succeed. It helps, no doubt, but a lot of MBAs fail at sales. Mostly because it is about what you do, not about what you think or believe. Which is why it is a surprise that many who avoided academic endeavours in the past, want to do so much research. Ask most sellers their view on research, most will respond without a thought, “it is an absolute must.
