In fact, recent statistics show that the SaaS market has reached an estimated market north of $145.5 billion. But despite its widespread appeal, SaaS isn’t just selling software like you’d once have sold a loaf of bread.

Both AT&T and Verizon have delayed activating their 5G networks near airports because it might cause interference with airplane guidance systems on certain planes, like Boeing 777s. Forgive my cynicism, but how long have the airlines known about that? They have probably had years to prepare for this deployment and update their own technology but didn't and now, at eleventh hour, they sounded the alarm and tried to make it the carriers' problem.

BBQ and business acumen. Traditionally, those two items don't go together, but for this story, one is the key to the other. I started in sales in 1993, straight out of college. I didn't have a lot of work or life experiences that I could draw from as I worked with business owners helping them to improve their businesses' performance. I did my best reading the Wall Street Journal, the business section of the local paper, and reading the latest business books to help grow my knowledge of business.

Many times, if an employee is repeatedly not meeting their quota, it’s tempting to just move on and find a replacement. However, short-term solutions don’t solve long-term problems. After all, one goal of any sales manager is creating a high-performing sales team with low turnover.

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.

Sometimes the hardest part of a sales call is just getting it started. Making it through that initial pushback at the beginning of a call can be the most challenging phase of the sales conversation. One of my sales mentors always used to say, “If you start strong, you end strong.” This is so true when it comes to sales calls. The first 20 seconds of any sales call are some of the most important moments of the entire sales conversation.
