Conducting a successful negotiation where both parties arrive at a productive, mutually beneficial outcome is a delicate art — one that's every bit as screw-up-able as it is valuable. Thoughtful, effective negotiating skills are a “need to have” if you're going to hack it in sales, but developing them is rarely straightforward. And if you want to get there, you have to have a sense of the right points to cover and (maybe even more) the ones you need to avoid.

Storytelling is one of our oldest forms of communication and is an excellent persuasive tool. Stories do the job better than facts – you only have to look to the tabloid news cycle to see that. It’s also clear that, however fictional, stories can profoundly impact actions in reality, as the “Jaws effect” proves — a phenomenon where real-world policy around hunting sharks stems from an irrational overreaction to a scary, and fictional, Hollywood movie.

Sunday, when the Priest was giving his sermon he said they (the Priests) compare mass attendance at the end of each weekend.

My wife and I looked around and it seemed to us that the church was a bit more than half full.

Getting in the door is getting harder and harder, so making the most of every time you do get through the door is becoming more and more important. Over the years, I have seen many salespeople and business owners taking big risks with important deals by talking to only one person in the prospect company. A common outcome of this kind of “single threading” is “radio silence” after a proposal is submitted—no returned calls or emails, and ultimately no deal.

I bought a new car in 2021, when the pandemic had virtually eliminated the gap between new and used prices. Car buyers 30 years ago might have shown up at the dealership wanting a truck, a sedan, or something as vague as a “good family car,” and the salesperson’s job was to help steer them in the right direction based on their needs. That process has changed dramatically.

Ask yourself a question, “Are you taking your people where they want/need to be taken?” Too often, we tend to focus on where we need to go/what we want to accomplish, but we fail in engaging our people as effectively, taking them where they need to be taken.

Business leaders have long known that fragmented data — flowing from disconnected systems, often kept in silos — is a major obstacle to growth, consuming up to 20% of the average IT budget. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), disconnected data can cause havoc across a company’s entire go-to-market operation, leading to missed growth opportunities and wildly incorrect decision-making.

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

We seem to be wired to react and respond. When we encounter a problem, we immediately jump on it doing what we can do to correct it, getting back on course. It seems like a game of business/selling “whack a mole.” A problem pops up here, we put a fix in place, another one appears somewhere else, we fix that, another pops up… We move from problem to problem, “whacking” them, only to have more pop up elsewhere.
