(That number jumps to 85% of high performing companies). Furthermore, most leaders share that they’ve documented a CX strategy and/or aligned on goals with their leadership teams.

This is the most common mistake sellers make when video conferencing. I really hate my webcam. (Ok, hate is a strong word.) I have a good camera, but I don’t like the way I look. (Unfortunately, the camera doesn’t lie.) I feel totally uncomfortable staring into my camera. It feels artificial and not at all authentic, but that’s the only way to make eye contact online.

Working in a highly competitive, smash your numbers, ‘get the deal at any cost, KPI driven’ sales environment and not being driven by money made me feel there was something amiss with my motivation levels because I didn’t seem to think the same way as my colleagues – or so I thought! Little did I know back then that money is one of the lowest motivating factors of all.

Whether at a conference listening to speakers wax on about how fantastic their technology and companies were, investor meetings, sales pitches, people played this game.

I read a lot of commentary from “experts” about PLG–Product Led Growth. Apparently, much of the “future of sales,” will be driven by PLG initiatives. I get why sales people revel in this. It leaves all the heavy lifting of “buying” to the customer. PLG is great for sales. We don’t waste our time inciting people to change, to consider doing things differently.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

It’s always a structured approach to engaging the customer, working with them to make a buying decision.

Discount pricing is borderline omnipresent. We've all seen retail outlets offering sale prices or "buy one, get one free deals" — and for good reason. When done right, the method can drum up quick interest in your business, foster customer loyalty, and pay off in spades. But there's no guarantee that leveraging it will be effective.
