Negotiate by definition is to deal or bargain with others in preparation of a contract or business deal. As a verb, negotiate means to move through in a satisfactory manner. In the world of selling, both of those definitions are relevant and important.

A classic issue in sales forces is promoting one of the top performing sales reps to the manager of a sales team, then having them fail in this new role. It can be a “triple whammy” for the company as they lose the revenue of a top performer, need to fill a critical “seat” in the sales organization and have a group of salespeople that are not performing to their full potential.

The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Every business needs a skilled sales team to generate a positive ROI, but on-the-job performance is rarely the product of training alone. In fact, a marketing novice could keep up with an unengaged expert provided they use the right motivation and productivity strategies. However, it’s much harder to motivate staff than it is to train them. There’s no one size fits all approach to motivational tactics, as every employee is unique and requires wildly different incentives to sell.

Whether working in sales or support, the best reps know how to be charismatic. When these team members walk into a meeting or join a call, they immediately put customers at ease with their conversational tone and genuine demeanor. While some people are naturally charismatic, instant likeability doesn’t come easily for everyone. For the reps who are on the more introverted side or maybe even new to a management role, rest assured that charisma is something that can be learned, according to a stud

A colleague and I were reflecting on past managers/mentors we each had over our careers. We talked about the great ones and what set them apart. Eventually, we came upon the one thing common with each of our experiences. While different managers displayed this characteristic in different ways, the common thing was: For some reason, they believed in each of us, more than we believed in ourselves.

I participate in lots of sales calls. Sometimes observing what’s going on, sometimes as a contributor. Most of the time, they seem like “verbal ping pong.” Someone asks a question or makes a statement (seller or customer), the other responds. Back and forth, sometimes agreeing, sometimes objecting, all practiced, mindless responses–back and forth.

I was reading an article on “office politics.” Basically, the discussion was around maximizing collaboration by hiring “like minded” people. Implicitly, the argument focused on minimizing disagreements and differing points of view. Frankly, I think that’s terrible advice.

The session was fascinating, the questions were great. I’m so happy these undergraduate students, looking toward careers in sales, are tackling this issue (I wish experienced sales people were as sensitive to this, as they.).
