For years, the work of many revenue operations (RevOps) teams have largely been determined by immediate customer needs. Indeed, most RevOps projects address a problem that’s already happened with the goal of ensuring it doesn’t happen again.

A referral is the best way to get a meeting with the decision maker. There are two parts to the sales process: Part One: Getting meetings with decision makers. Part Two: Everything that happens after that. Referrals help you ace Part One and set you up for success in Part Two. That’s an over-simplification, I know, but it’s the easiest way for people to understand the power of a referral introduction.

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.

By Tibor Shanto. Summer, traditionally a time to kick back, relax and enjoy the brightest and warmest time of year. Business seems to move at a calmer pace as people enjoy school and work vacations. And while there is no doubt that the pace may be different, there are ways to take advantage of the “ summer lull.” But while elements of the change in pace are true, it requires a change in our action, not a lack of action.

Last night Major League Baseball held its annual Home Run Derby. We've seen the home run derbies before. We watch them every year. They are always the same - each slugger tries to hit more home runs than the other sluggers in the contest. At the same time, they are always different and last night there were four stories that made this year's home run derby different from all the rest.

We’ve been giving away too much money in sales over the past century. Why? We’ve been trained to think the buyer’s budget matters. For years, when a buyer says my budget is X, we assume and operate from the fact that that’s all they have to spend and that if we don’t meet their budget we’ll lose. In other words, we make the buyer’s budget problem our problem and we need to stop doing that.

Have you ever heard music that was so brilliant, you couldn’t even carry on a conversation while listening? I had a friend in college who played like that. Her audiences would be nearly silent as she played, mesmerized by the sound, until her last note when they would go nuts! She practiced both the piano and the guitar often, simply because she loved it, and she often played for us upon request.

And hopefully, we repeat the performance the following quarter, then hit our numbers for the year. We’ve met our goals! But what if we could have done more? Not just exceeding our quotas, but what if we reassessed what we do, how we do it, and realized that we really should be doing much better?

Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
