Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

When a company first starts out, the money isn't exactly rolling in. Startups devote all of their cash to their product — and make do with the equivalent of duct tape on the operations side. This means customer and contact management is often tracked through spreadsheets. When you only have a handful of customers, it seems logical to simply pop their information into a spreadsheet and share it with the one or two salespeople on staff.

There’s no doubt that having a solid sales stack is a must. In fact, 82% of SDRs agree that sales technologies are critical for closing deals while the companies that don’t use any software for sales enablement are known to be less likely to achieve their goals. Yet, just like a proper sales stack can boost your productivity and help you close more deals, relying on wrong tools can significantly harm your business.

A true equation is a mathematically accurate equation — such as 1 = 1. But math isn’t always certain; it has unknowns and variables. Just ask former math teacher Grace Tyson, who, in 2014, was struggling to define the unknown in a very important equation: Grace + [X] = new career. After spending two years in Newark, New Jersey, teaching mathematics to kids in grades 5-7, Grace decided to relocate to Boston and take a completely new direction in her professional life.

Sales is changing every day – buyers know more about products than sellers, crowd sourced reviews affect the value of our offerings, and we’re facing increasing competition as barriers to entry continue to lower. All of this makes closing sales harder than ever. But some things will never change. We wrote about the foundational principles of outbound sales in our book, Outbound Sales, No Fluff.

It’s often tempting to craft your sales pitch deck around what you know about your product. Perhaps you have an impressive list of marquee customers for your deck or an advanced set of features that your competition doesn’t have. What big names and cool features can’t do is answer the question of why. If you can’t tell prospects why your product matters, then you haven’t convinced them to pick you.

The idea of “value creation” can be confusing. The word “value” itself can be nebulous, unclear. Value is also in the eye of the beholder; it is a perception. In sales, however, we can define “value creation” with some significant level of clarity, with a single question: How is your client better off? The First Test of Many.

Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.

I’ve written in the past about the importance of listening carefully to everything your prospects say to you. One thing that you should be sure to take note of when listening is repetition. When people repeat words or ideas, it usually signifies importance. The things your prospects choose to repeat provide insight into their world (which is certainly valuable to have when you’re selling).

Here are 5 business reasons your sales organization needs a strong company culture. Like most intangibles, company culture is hard to measure and sometimes even harder to justify investing in. For these reasons, many companies relegate culture to a list of “nice to haves,” and never give it much attention beyond that. This lack of attention from most companies represents a weakness for them, and a substantial opportunity for sales organizations that do focus on company culture.

Training a team of sales professionals is difficult. At a large organization, the team is often geographically distributed. Representatives are separated by hundreds of miles and different time zones. Even a small team of sales professionals can be difficult to train in unison because each professional is busy with their own quotas. Each is focused on their own pipeline that consists of sales at different stages.

It goes without saying that buyers today have a very different set of tools at their disposal versus just 10 or 20 years ago. There’s a tremendous amount of information online and on social networks that they can use in order to make a purchase decision. Think of the last time that you purchased a product. You probably started with a Google search where you didn’t leave the first page of results.
