Ryan Taft. ?I I am not a big script guy. I have never been. Sales scripts are typically written from the perfect world perspective. In other words, if customers acted exactly the way we wanted them to and if sales people were robots, then a script is bullet proof. But sales, my friends, is not a perfect world. I don’t know about you but every sales script I have ever been handed and told to use on customers, I read it thinking to myself “I would never say this.”

False experts include legions of self-appointed “gurus” and “visionaries” who saturate social media with bad advice. But they’re not the only sources.

Consider this: a CBS News / New York Times poll asked, "What percent of people in general are trustworthy?" The answer: 30%. We're all pretty skeptical, right? Not necessarily. At the same time, the CBS News / New York Times poll asked a similar group the same question, but with a slight difference. What percent of people that you know are trustworthy?". The answer: 70%. This goes to show: when people get to know and like you, people begin to trust you.

By Amy O’Connor. Are you familiar with the old adage: people don’t quit companies, they quit people? This seems rather harsh, but often it is 100% spot on.

In my opinion, we should be excited. AI -- especially “deep learning” technology -- brings new opportunities and innovation in the way digital marketing, sales, and customer support are handled. But what is deep learning? How does it work? And how can it be applied to marketing and sales in your company? What Is Deep Learning?

Objective Management Group's (OMG's) findings from the evaluations and assessments of 1.8 million salespeople show that 50% of all salespeople are weak. Sales managers believe that 50% of their salespeople are good and 44% of their salespeople have potential.

Broad, open-ended sales questions are great for helping you find out what's going on in your prospects' and clients' worlds. They are essential to sales success. In fact, "listened to me" and "understood my needs" are two of the top five factors most separating sales winners from second-place finishers. Sales questions also help you connect with buyers personally, understand what's important to them, reshape their thinking, and create better futures for them.
