While I have spent most of my adult life hiring and training salespeople, it has been two years since my last new hire and that was for a client. I left my last management job in 2005 and have been blissfully semi-retired since that time. Well, here I go again and once again for a client. The most challenging, and grinding, part of this whole process is fielding and reviewing applications.

Yeah, some of you will be offended by the crude title of this post. I just couldn’t think of a better description of something that dominates too many selling conversations.

When Gartner surveyed CMOs in 2023 about the state of their marketing technology stack, most admitted to using only one-third of their martech stack. This percentage has been decreasing in the past few years, even though the purchase of new marketing technology platforms has increased in the same period.

Remember the last time you moved? You probably had to pack up too much stuff, transport it in a truck and unpack it in the new location – hoping it survived the trip. Imagine if your furniture and belongings could just teleport to your new place in perfect condition. It’s not possible (yet) in the physical world, but with zero copy integration, that’s how you can handle your customer data.

Brad Bolino provided a link to an Inc Magazine article about the Peter Principle. For their example, the author used salespeople who were promoted to sales managers based on their sales performance, but not because they had any specific skills or capabilities to be effective sales managers. Their sales management performance was poor. This correlates very well to Objective Management Group’s (OMG) data on sales management effectiveness.

President Joe Biden today signed a bill into law that forces TikTok to either divest from Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a full ban in the U.S. What it means. ByteDance must sell TikTok in nine months. That deadline can be extended by 90 days if needed to complete a sale. If ByteDance doesn’t divest, app stores will no longer legally be allowed to distribute TikTok.

The new law to ban or force the sale of TikTok creates a problem for marketers beyond the loss of a popular advertising channel. The law aims to protect the social media app’s 170 million American users from having their personal data exploited by the Chinese government. That’s a problem, but not the problem. The problem — and what’s driving marketers crazy — is the absence of a national law protecting Americans from having their data exploited by any entity.
