Understanding the Sales Force
JANUARY 22, 2024
Have you ever been on the road, lost in thought, just driving down the highway (oh-oh, already sounds like a country song), when you realized you blew past your exit about thirty miles ago? One minute ago everything was perfect and then, all of a sudden, reality sets in and you’ve traveled an hour out of your way. That exact same thing happens to salespeople on their sales calls.

A sales training initiative is a big investment - one you want to ensure provides a long-term return. The key to ensuring a return on the investment is increasing the breadth and depth of your engagement, ensuring long-term adoption and extending training to all customer-facing professionals, not just the direct sales team. Today’s top enablement teams are expanding their efforts to a wider set of roles to ensure new strategies permeate into the daily sales motion.

AI development continues at a breakneck pace, with the number of use cases increasing by the day. This raises the question for many Go-to-Market (GTM) leaders: how do we use AI to help sales? How do we ensure smooth adoption of AI? And what value does it bring to the business?
Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
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.

We may be entering a “new, new era” of selling—an era that takes us back to good old-fashioned relationship selling. Up to this point many of the tools available to sales teams have encouraged volume-based sales techniques, like mass emailing and cold calling. But as more and more salespeople use these tools, buyers have become inundated with low value communication.

AI offers tremendous promise to help sellers become much more efficient. A lot of the tasks that take seller time can be more effectively handled with AI tools. Properly used, with the right prompt engineering, AI can help us better understand potential issues our customers face. We can, for instance, ask it for issues facing certain roles. We can ask it to look at certain industries/markets, or types of companies.

Time management has always been an important concept. I can remember reading all sorts of books on effective time management, even back to college days. I continue to devour them, adapting many of the principles to my own time management. We have reached a “crisis” in time management. Every leader I speak with identifies the issue of “finding the time,” as one of the top issues they face.

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.

Depending on the organization, the person leading a sales team may be called a manager, a leader, or a coach. For many people leading a team and for their team members, the name doesn’t matter because the job description is the same. They are the person responsible for guiding their team toward hitting their sales goals. But the difference between managing and coaching has become a hot-button issue.

Does upselling have to feel sleazy or uncomfortable? I don't think so, but it depends on how you approach it. Sleazy sales reps will try to upsell everyone and anyone, regardless of whether or not the customer actually needs the additional service. But from my experience, when you focus primarily on your customer's experience and goals, upselling benefits both you and your customer tremendously.

Sometimes, I feel like a broken record talking about Customer and Business Acumen. Speaking to sales enablement executives, fewer than 10% have any sort of business acumen programs in place. When I talk to leaders about their GTM strategies, the focus is on products and presenting the capabilities of products. Yet these same leaders complain about the ability to connect to prospects and customers.
