That’s why it makes so much sense for businesses to emphasize wellness as part of their company culture.

Attempts to get sales enablement right are on the rise , as organizations grapple with the idea that shorter product life cycles, a more informed customer base, and global competition make the way they sell just as important as what they are selling.

It's a family tradition that each December we attend the Boston Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker. It's truly a magical show and even though the primary dancers change from year to year, the execution of the show's script and musical score is flawless. Several years ago, during one of the performances, it dawned on me that the orchestra's role in the show correlated very nicely to an effective sales presentation.

You don’t have to be the life of the party to succeed in sales. She lights up a room when she walks in. She doesn’t have to say a word, but you know she’s there. She looks for every opportunity to show up—at parties, networking events, conferences, you name it. She thrives on the interaction. That’s exactly the kind of people account based sales reps are—life-of-the-party types, not fearful of confrontation, can talk to anyone about any subject, blazing extroverts.

Gender diversity is making headlines these days, as the spotlight shines on the treatment and representation of women in one industry after another. While the issue may seem complicated, the outcome is simple: (1) Companies who recognize the importance of diversity and promote it actively are the inevitable winners in this equation. (2) Those who are unwilling to take an active stance on gender equality will suffer economic consequences.

In his book, The Art of the Start, Guy Kawasaki said, "Don't Worry, Be Crappy.". That advice suggested that companies just get their early versions of software and tech products out there and they could make them better later. How are early versions of technology different from crappy salespeople and crappy sales managers? For one thing, salespeople and sales managers tend to stay crappy unless professional training, coaching and interventions occur.

Their outreach took too long. They spent plenty of time on social media and sent tons of emails, but they rarely reached actual decision-makers. She finally asked her team: “Did you ever close business over email?

By Tibor Shanto. I always find it amusing listening to sales people or marketing people talk about buyer persona, seems half have no idea what the word means, and if not for fashion could care less. I worked with a company that had very clear and detailed outline of the various personas (or is it personae?), they sold to, each based most on their corporate roles.

A lot of people hate selling. But that’s because they have the wrong idea of what selling is.
