Over 1 million people have viewed this video to date and it is a shame 1 billion people have not. I have always found it interesting that retail businesses have had the ability to establish price and for the most part that price is non-negotiable. Why is it that in B2B sales everything appears to have some level of negotiation? However, in our roles as consumers for items such as office supplies, food, gasoline and a host of other items; we seldom think twice about paying the listed price.

The topic of Quality vs. Quantity in demand gen has been a constant debate. Whether it's inbound marketing or outbound marketing there are costs associated with a lead, there are costs associated with the time and effort needed to convert that lead to an opportunity, and there are costs tied to the quality of those leads and how that impacts conversion rates.

In this challenging economy, 44% of organizations plan to reduce projects selectively based on potential / expected contribution to business value. As a solutions provider, you have to prove superior contribution to business value, or your project will be on the chopping block. Even though the economy is challenged, decision makers are not just interested in cutting costs.

There are studies out there telling us that in the web 2.0 world up to 90 % of purchases today start with an internet search. This searches will end on someones landing page and can be interpreted as a lead generated by unaddressed attraction. As landing pages are usually owned by the marketing department of the respective organization, these leads can therefore be considered to be generated by marketing.

Here are 6 and a half mistakes I have seen salespeople make. We are all guilty of some of these. However, I hope that this list will serve as a reminder to help you from engaging in the following mistakes. 1. Never quote price to an unsold buyer. Far too many salespeople fall victim to the urge of quoting price prematurely. Until you have defined the prospect's or customer's issues and presented a solution that is on target, your price will be perceived as being too high because you have not est
