With a new year, many people set resolutions. These often list things they can do to better themselves, such as joining a gym, reading more books, eating vegetables. While these are all great for self-improvement, they are typically not geared toward elevating professional performance. But doesn’t the new you deserve new success? For many salespeople, along with personal resolutions, it’s helpful to set new sales goals.

There are predictions, and then there’s reality. I’ve never liked predictions. I’m not an economist and I’m not a fortune teller. Yet, we’re asked to make predictions all the time. I understand that predictive analysis tools can be accurate at forecasting business trends and sales performance. But what will happen in 2022? That depends on whom you’re talking to and what their biases are.

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.

By Tibor Shanto. I’ve read several pieces offering suggestions that now is the time to develop the right plan for the year ahead. One can argue about the timing, some, me included, would say the planning should already have been done. January, or any first month of a fiscal year, should be used to hit the ground running, not planning. But if you’re going to plan, there is more to it than Territory or Account Planning.

To the annoyance of most school children, virtually every night, their parents ask a question, “Did you do your homework?” Growing up, sometimes I would blow off doing my homework, I’d not lie, but I’d find a way not to answer the question. Eventually, that would catch up with me, I’d not be prepared for class, my grades would suffer.

The pandemic has brought about numerous changes in the way we work and interact within our organizations, and it has also affected the way we develop, deliver, and assess employee training.

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.

Sales leaders often label high-performing sales reps as having the “it factor.” It’s the undefinable yet undeniable secret to why they win. But believe it or not, the “it factor” in sellers is a myth and one that’s been embraced for far too long by sales leaders. The reality for many organizations is—top performers thrive and the rest of the team is left behind.

In pop culture, salespeople are often portrayed as unscrupulous, money-hungry manipulators. Of course, this is not only offensive; it’s also patently false for professional sellers! However, one lesson of the pandemic is that hard-sell techniques will not work. In uncertain times, buyers cannot be bullied or cajoled into spending money on things they don’t need.
