One of the most basic tenets of selling is that you are going to have to figure out ways to stand out in a crowd. The bigger the group, the bigger the challenge and, speaking of large groups , how about the internet and social networks? Very crowded! You need to be … R.U.M. – Remarkable, Unique, Memorable.

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.

Plus, here’s what you might have missed from No More Cold Calling this summer. I’m embarrassed by the bad sales behavior that blasts us every day.

By Tibor Shanto. Most people when challenged or pushed will revert to their comfort zone, and for sellers, comfort is their product. I know what you’re thinking, “not my team.” Yet every time we do an exercise around what “you sell”, we see a different result.
