Remote work went mainstream in 2020, and the forced experiment showed us that working from home doesn’t have to derail productivity. In fact, a 2020 survey from FlexJobs shows that 51% of respondents said they feel more productive in their home office than at a traditional workplace. Because of distancing requirements, employee sentiment and the efficiency gains associated with well-managed remote work, I expect less than half of companies to shift entirely back to the office in 2021.

This broken link is to blame for sales teams’ biggest closing mistakes. “My salespeople can’t close.” This is the frustrated lament I hear regularly from sales leaders. But not closing sales is never the real problem. It’s just a symptom. The problem is that sales reps neglect important activities during earlier stages of the sales process. Unless you address the broken links in your prospecting system, your sales reps will continue to struggle with closing the deal.

By Tibor Shanto. A week or so back, I posted about the “ summer lull ,” suggesting it could be more myth than fact. Some enterprising salespeople asked what they should do during this period? Well, it is a great time to do all those things you tell me you want to do but never have time for. Every time I suggest salespeople practice the basics, they tell me they have not time, well now is the time, summer.

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.

Data decays over time—phone numbers change, companies shift locations, or people move jobs. Data changes, and stale data is expensive. It is estimated that, on average, organizations lose $15 million each year due to bad data. What’s even worse, teams spend close to 50% of their time cleaning and prepping data—time that could be better spent creating value by solving real business problems.

We have a saying here ASG, Complete flexibility, ruthless accountability. The idea is we want people to feel they have the freedom to achieve their goals the way they best see fit and with as much autonomy as possible, with the understanding that with that freedom comes the responsibility of meeting goals and expectations. The environment we’ve created to do that is called R.O.P.E.
