In a recent post , I shared the calling strategy from Ryan Reisert that proves how your math of sales has been lying to you. If you are a sales leader that says more calls equal more meetings, that is not true. Ryan proves that time and time again.

The Pipeline
AUGUST 10, 2021
By Tibor Shanto. Questions are the weapon of choice for consistently successful salespeople, so listen up the half that aren’t making quota. But most sales professionals don’t approach question in a strategic fashion, meaning going beyond the obvious. But done right, there are dimensions to questions that can help in prospecting and lead to a more meaningful Discovery.

Ghosted—just the sound of this is chilling. But when you’ve done a presentation and then don’t hear back from a prospect, it can often mean the kiss of death. What to do? Here are three things I do to avoid being ghosted: #1: Because prospects are pitched all the time, and because the majority of them are not going to be a buyer (at this time) for my services, a way I get them to reach back out to me is by offering them a way out.

When it comes to navigation I usually opt for Waze but sometimes Siri can find a way out of traffic that Waze can't. On the other hand, try asking Siri to dial a phone number while she's navigating and you'll quickly learn that she can't multi-task. If you are navigating using Apple maps in CarPlay, then Siri will navigate to the address you asked her to call.

The Power of Handwritten Recognition. The best way to recognize great performance is by sending a handwritten motivational card. I believe there are two things that motivate most sales reps. 1. Is the ability to do the job they paid to and. 2. Being recognized for a job well done. Personalized hand-written notes are a rarity? With email and text messages it is very easy to bang off a quick note.

No business can survive for long without a healthy sales pipeline. It’s what keeps your sales team organized and focused on managing opportunities to close deals. It helps you forecast revenue and business growth and provides insight to drive new initiatives. Unfortunately, many B2B organizations suffer from ineffective sales pipeline management. The symptoms are almost always the same: Sales teams waste time delivering demos to unqualified leads.

It’s become high fashion to declare the future of selling is “virtual.” While F2F, telephone, text, and other approaches will continue to exist, everything is moving to virtual. Usually, there’s a whole bunch of data to support why this is important. For example, sales people can make back to back sales calls through the whole day.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. 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.

Our engagement strategies are, too often, failing us. I suspect it’s because we are asking the prospects (and perhaps ourselves) the wrong questions. At the lowest level of execution, we ask if they are interested in learning about our products or solutions. Or sometimes we are presumptive and tell them, without their asking. We are taught to ask about needs, but getting answers to those questions means the customer is actually fairly advanced in their buying journey.

Modern digital advertising can feel a lot like trying to speak to a stadium full of people from center field without a microphone. Your message is mostly drowned out by tons of noise from competitors. And without accurate targeting, it can be wasted on an audience that isn’t interested. There’s one main reason for this — your current audience data isn’t good enough.

Some industries have had to do a lot of belt-tightening recently, and it shows. Research from late 2020 shows that touches to close rose 65% from pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Companies have been cautious with their budgets, and as a result, deals have lengthened. Deal disasters you’ll want your team to avoid. The silver lining is that hard times are great learning opportunities.
