We know that top-performing salespeople are extremely driven to meet and exceed their goals. With that drive also comes the desire to continue to move up the ladder. As a leader, it’s natural to have these salespeople “next on this list” to move up when a position becomes available. But are all top-performing salespeople destined to become top-performing managers?

In markets where competition is fierce, and evolution is rapid, the demands on sales teams to not only meet but exceed expectations are greater than ever. While daunting, these challenges offer a unique opportunity to redefine leadership strategies that are crucial for staying ahead.

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.

For commercial leaders looking to make the most of 2024, Q2 seems to be the perfect time to accelerate growth. However, based on our findings, many companies are also concerned about the changing state of B2B buying – buyers today are increasingly unfamiliar with their processes, slowing down deals and delaying decision-making. Commercial leaders need more than just positive demand to take the lead; they must make the right business decisions to ensure sustainable growth in 2024.

In B2B sales, cross-selling and upselling are pivotal to maximizing growth and profitability. They also increase revenue per customer, making them vital to sustained success. Further, these activities can strengthen customer relationships and create loyalty. However, cross-selling and upselling can present challenges.

Before we examine some of the typical ways to organize a sales team, it should be noted that not everyone will have a choice. Some organizations may be able to implement any of the models with varying degrees of success; however, others either have only one feasible option, or if they do get to make a choice, it comes down to finding the least of possible evils.

How do you best approach someone if you don’t have any connections? It’s far from ideal, and you will have a much better hit rate with a “ social calling ” approach, but sometimes “it is what it is” and you must go in cold. Most people I know will opt for an email as the first attempt to reach somebody. I get it. Emails are free and you don’t get the same mental battering as having the phone hung up on you.

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.

It seems that nearly every time we (and our friends and colleagues) do business with a company, there is a problem and we must contact customer service. It always seems to go bad, as reps are unable to handle the simplest of issues, don’t care, display no common sense, behave with incompetence and struggle to when forced off the script. My personal list of recent grievances includes: Home Depot (finally resolved when I contacted the C Suite) StubHub (unresolved and I gave up) Ferrari Poo

I hate being trite with this analogy, but I will. My post “Cold Calling Was Never ‘Alive'” generated a lot of interesting questions and conversation. They were variations on the same theme, “I need to get to these people to tell them how we can help them… I need to share our experience in working with customers like them… I need to schedule a demo of what we do……” Repeating myself: Customers don’t care about it until they do!

One of my favorite musicians is Yo Yo Ma. I was listening to an interview of him, he was reflecting on his mentor, Pablo Casals. Casals was probably the best cellist of his time. Yo Yo Ma quoted Casals, “I think of myself as a human being first, a musician second, a cellist third.” It’s something we must reflect on and constantly remind ourselves of.

There is a hierarchy in the sales world. Most sales leaders come from the days when salespeople were responsible for every step in the sales process. You had to find your leads, get an appointment, and ultimately close the deal. You only ate what you killed. We were hunters, so we tend to favor and even value hunters more than farmers. When I say farmers, I mean salespeople who spend most of their time nurturing clients, building relationships, and growing them.
