Now that the conversation has reached sales, this raises the big question in the minds of every top sales leader: “How should we be thinking about AI? Are there ways we can use this technology to improve sales and sales effectiveness?

The right words don’t always come easy. It can even take hours to put an email together. Thankfully, there’s AI for that. Conversational AI for sales teams can eliminate a lot of repetitive tasks such as follow-up emails and customer queries and even generate sales collateral. Operationally, conversational AI speeds up processes within tools like your CRM or CMS, makes reporting easier, decision-making more effective, and so much more.

Even though sales role-play within sales coaching is not a new concept, the way in which it’s often used in companies can be detrimental to the company and its salespeople. However, if used correctly, role-playing can be a vital part of sales training and coaching. Stuart Taylor, sales director at Allego, and Mark Ackers, co-founder and head of sales at MySalesCoach, shared their take on their sales role-play – the good and the bad.

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.

Three of this year’s (2023) Hurricanes took unusual paths for hurricanes. This past week, Hurricane Lee roared into Nova Scotia, becoming the first such storm to do so since 2003, although at the time it made landfall, Lee had been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone. Earlier this summer, Hurricane Hillary became the first tropical storm to make landfall in Southern California.

Mastering Your Time I hear it time and time again. I don’t have time to sell. I don’t have time to coach. It takes too long to review performance. Really!! I get it; you have countless emails, meetings, and distractions that can overwhelm your day; so finding a way to maximize your productivity is essential. As we are coming to the end of the year; no one cares if you attended two dozen stupid meetings or responded to silly emails.
Advertiser: ZoomInfo
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.

What business problem is your customer solving? Hopefully, it’s the problem you are the best in the world at solving. If it isn’t, you are wasting your and the customer time. If I pose this question to sellers, the responses I get are usually about what their products do. Mostly it’s descriptions of features, functions, capabilities.

For those who have worked with me, you know the importance I hold Competency Models. These are critical, both for recruiting, but also onboarding and ongoing development. Without these, we don’t know whether we are recruiting and hiring the right people, or developing them to achieve their full potential. What is a Competency Model? An easy way, at least for sellers, is to think of it as your organization’s ICP–Ideal Customer Profiles.

Before you close this tab to panic-update your resume, wait till you hear which fifth: writing cold emails, entering call notes in your CRM, and scheduling calls. If these tasks make you groan inside (or out loud), you aren’t alone. Sales pros spend hours a day on manual and administrative tasks.
