Every month I do a mentorship call with Matt Sharrers, the CEO of Sales Benchmark Index. During these calls, I’m working on my business, as both an investor and CEO,rather than working on the tactics. Over time, it’s incredible how much I’ve grown to appreciate and understand how vision and strategy are actually 80% of the conversation – and 20% is around process, structure, people, tools, and tactics.
No More Cold Calling

Do you really need more people in your business network? Well, yes and no. I’m sure you have people in your business network you never talk to. I do. And while I want to remain connected with them, how I stay in touch depends on the value we provide each other. You receive my weekly emails and a recap at the end of every month. But I don’t really know you unless you reach out to me—which I encourage you to do.

Your customer does not want to buy anything, but they want you to give them solutions. The biggest challenge for you is not knowing the solution that your customer is looking for. Often, the customer doesn’t know the answer either. The customer may think they know what they want, but because it’s the only thing they know. Your job is to them get to the next level.

As a sales trainer, there’s always a balance between research and just picking up the phone and dialing out. How much research do you do before just picking up the phone and dialing? Too little, and you sound like a cold call , and you’ll get disconnected. Too much, and you waste time you could spend connecting with the people who you can convince to take an appointment and eventually to buy your product or service.

Imagine coaching a basketball player, “All you have to do is master your foul shots, they are the single most important thing to win games.” All of us, even those who don’t play basketball, would say this is ridiculous coaching. We would argue you have to master everything—dribbling, passing, inside and outside shots, defense, playmaking, and on and on.

Editor's Note: This post was originally published on the LeadG2 blog. Most managers and sellers have experienced this: A seller is moving a new business prospect through the sales process. All signs are positive. The prospect goes silent, and will not respond to email, phone calls, letters, or stop-ins. The seller goes to his/her manager and asks for advice.

Kristin, a highly-experienced sales person, describes being frequently interrupted or “talked over” by her manager or peers. Andrea is a talented young sales person who is often ignored by older decision-makers. Daniel, a new sales leader, is frustrated because his team isn’t listening to him, making it difficult to excel in his new role. Despite talent, titles or experience, these three share a common problem.

Seller performance is down, yet revenue attainment is up, according to the latest research from CSO Insights in “All That Glitters Is Not Gold: 2019 World-Class Sales Practices Study.” While this may seem like an anomaly, the higher revenue attainment numbers reveal that sales organizations are doing one of two things (and likely both) to improve their numbers: relying on their top performers to bolster sales or making additional hires to boost their performance.
