Confusing Journey With Destination
The Pipeline
NOVEMBER 2, 2017
By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca. I spent the weekend with some friends who were planning an overseas vacation next spring. This is something they have wanted to do for some time, they have been saving up money, vacation days, and sacrificed in other ways, in order to make the trip everything they wanted. You can sense the energy of anticipation that is going into every element of the planning, and ensuring that the trip lives up to everything they imagined and more.
Why Do People Make So Many Lead Generation Mistakes?
No More Cold Calling
NOVEMBER 23, 2017
Doing more means selling less. Wondering how to generate leads—not just smoke-and-mirror leads, but only qualified leads? Every account based selling rep asks that question, and pretty much every survey of sales leaders confirms that lackluster lead generation is also their chief concern. No question about it. Finding those qualified leads takes time and resources, and it’s getting tougher and tougher to reach decision-makers.

7 Habits Of Highly Successful Business Development Managers
MTD Sales Training
NOVEMBER 27, 2017
A habit can be defined as ‘any behaviour that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously’. When we work on something continuously, we start to lay down a pattern of behaviour that is reflected every time that specific situation occurs. This behaviour becomes the norm for us and we see it as such; a normal way of doing things. So, what should a business development manager (BDM) develop as habits, the normal way of behaving?

By Tibor Shanto. With the end of the year in site, only six hopping Saturdays till Xmas, we sometimes face hard choices as to where to put our efforts. Put everything we have in closing and renewing what’s here and now; or ensure that I am well set for the next quarter, or year. Unfortunately, and often for all the wrong reasons, including guidance from a manager, the former wins out.

It’s easy to give up after a few tries. You run ads, bring in leads, and then follow up. But if the person doesn’t seem interested, many sales and marketers turn their attention toward existing customers. That’s not necessarily a bad practice. After all, upselling existing customers represents a lot of revenue potential for your business. But your business can’t survive on existing customers alone.

3 Sales Thanksgiving Turkeys

By Tibor Shanto. While the president may be set to pardon a turkey today, I am not sure we should be so generous when it comes to some offences committed by some in sales. While we may not be willing to pardon or forgive, it seems worthwhile to look at some turkey moves sellers, at times including myself, make in the course of their day. Awesome. While there are many words used in sales that should be banned (not just from sales, but the planet), there are some that are just irritating and eith
