Coaching the Coaches The question of the day is, who’s coaching the coaches on coaching? The reality is, there is no one coaching the coaches. That’s right. Second line sales managers (SLM) don’t coach their FLMs on their coaching.

Sales is suffering from 9 brutal ills: The Bro Culture, Lack of Coaching Too Product-Centric Not enough sales people understand the game/rules of sales Too much reliance on selling tools. Not enough training in the industry/space Too much activity management Little respect for prospects and buyers time Not enough humility. Sales is the greatest profession in the world in my opinion. Sales makes the world go round.

Salesforce likes to talk about “Customers for Life”, and while that’s sort of catchy, it’s a little hard to grok what it really means. It finally sunk in for me a bit the other day.

For two weeks I looked forward to a sales appointment. An appointment where I was the buyer, not the provider. My company desperately needed the service being offered and I had high hopes I was going to get a solution to a nagging issue. Imagine my surprise then when Mark showed up at my office, sat at my table, opened his portfolio and said, “Well, I typically like to just get right into it.”

In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail across the ocean blue with the goal of finding riches in the East Indies. However, though he had a clear goal, he didn’t have a map, so he fell well short of his intended destination, landing in the Caribbean islands instead. Despite what many believe, he didn’t discover continental North America or even set foot there.).

At Sales For Life, we’re huge proponents of strategy over execution. Here’s why. The number one prob lem sellers have with pipelin e creation or business development is that they and their managers believe that doubling, tripling, or 10x-ing down on activity levels is the only way to increase pipeline. That being said, there are many organizations where sellers aren’t doing enough to influence a sales outcome).

I absolutely love this. I talk about change in Gap Selling and how the discovery is critical to creating the gap. When you’re asking your buyers questions, your helping them look at things differently and are setting the stage for them to change. And that’s your job as a sales person. the brain finds ways to “reduce our mental workload” and one way is to accept without question (or even to just ignore) much of what is going on around us at anytime.

Ready to grow your business? Who isn’t? The problem is that it can be frustrating, confusing, and hard! So, let’s simplify it. Generate more leads and then convert them. Of course, doing this isn’t easy. Lead gen and lead conversion both need effort, time, confidence, resources, and skill. While my focus is on equipping people to increase their conversion rates with collaborative conversations that sell*, that doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough leads or prospects to convert.

Ostensibly designed to help sellers close more deals, in many organizations, the CRM is just another administrative task on a salesperson’s already crowded plate. It’s a way for sales managers to monitor deal status that adds little, if any, value to their selling activities. But this approach to CRM is changing. More and more businesses are adopting sales technology tools, such as our analytics solution Scout , that turn their CRM data into actionable insights.

By Amy O’Connor. I recently had the privilege of presenting a leadership legacy award at my company’s annual leadership summit. I had to give a short speech before presenting the award, and it forced me codify my thoughts on what traits create a lasting leadership legacy. All leaders set out with the best intentions. They all desire greatness. No leader ever wakes up in the morning and says “boy, I hope I really screw up this leadership thing today.”.

Not many salespeople enjoy sales training. The idea of taking an entire day out of the field sit and listen to some so-called expert, who hasn’t sold in years tell you how to sell isn’t what most salespeople pine for in their day-to-day. The exception to that is Gap Selling. And that’s why spots are going fast, for our May 16th Sales training. Once a quarter we ofter limited seats to a Gap Selling training for the public.

Managing a strategic account is a complicated balancing act. Sometimes, you find yourself striving for short-term gains by upselling. But to achieve long-term success with a strategic account, the customer needs to view you as a trusted partner, which means you need to constantly set yourself apart from the competition by helping your customer achieve their long-term goals. Strategic accounts are an important part of your company’s success.
