Is a recession looming? I remain optimistic that the economy will continue to do well, but others feel the economic uncertainty. I see it in several sectors. CEOs are getting nervous and laying people off. . Traditional wisdom says you must hunker down during a recession and weather the storm. The focus is normally on cost-cutting and survival. And that is the behavior we are seeing from some already, even though a recession hasn’t been declared. .

I know you have heard it before. You know, the line that goes like this “if you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten.” As a coach, the most development I have seen in salespeople comes when they alone decide enough is enough which leads them to make changes. And sometimes those changes are hard to make.

You may have read that the latest legislation out of Washington DC provides $80 billion for the hiring, arming and training of close to 80,000 new IRS (Internal Revenue Service is the US Tax Agency) agents to nearly double the size of the agency. Did you catch the part about arming IRS agents? Wow. That makes the IRS larger than the State Department, Customs and Border Control, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the Pentagon (Military) combined.

Strategic clarity leads top growth CEOs toward a small set of highly focused growth imperatives including placing a premium on commercial productivity to sustain growth.

No matter how turbulent or stable the job market is, company culture remains the differentiating factor in attracting and retaining top talent. Unfortunately, most recruiters have a limited view of how a company or client compares with others.

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

Many companies find that their teams work in silos. Instead of collaborating, they operate in parallel. But the pace of change means these companies can end up off the mark if they don’t work across teams, toward common goals. This is a common problem when it comes to creating sales content. Marketers don’t collaborate with sales and end up creating content that is ineffective and goes unused.
