We had Chinese for dinner and my fortune said, "Speed is not as important as accuracy.". When you think of speed what are the first things that come to mind? Fighter Jets? The 10 fastest in the world reach speeds of up to Mach 6.70 (5,140 MPH). Racing Cars? The 6 fastest in the world reach speeds of up to 304 MPH. Motorcycles? The 10 fastest in the world reach speeds of up to 273 MPH.

Henry Schuck founded ZoomInfo while still in law school. When his biggest lead at that time showed interest, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sell. But there was one problem.

In this week’s episode, hear how Henry navigated the biggest deal — despite not being himself.

Sales reps run into trouble when they try to go into a call totally cold. The modern buyer doesn't have the patience to address basic questions with answers that anyone can find through a cursory search — nor do they have the time to fill you in on their challenges. If you pick up the phone without gathering any background information, at best, you stand to annoy the person — and at worst, you could be hung up on mid-sentence.

Recently, I was in a meeting with some of our sales development reps and one of them asked me: “What is your definition of leadership?” I paused, not being immediately ready with an answer, which is a little out of character for me. I realized that I hadn’t taken time to fully articulate how I feel about leadership, running a company, or what has made ZoomInfo successful.

How to watch yourself on video like a director. Even as an actor I hated watching myself on video. All I could see were the flaws: I didn’t smile enough. My voice was flat. I blinked too much. The list went on and on. None of this self-bashing made me any better. In fact, it simply increased my anxiety and self-consciousness every time I got in front of a camera.

It's summertime, and the living is easy — but the selling is hard. Even the most prolific salespeople aren't immune to the summer slump. Prospects are on vacation. Calls go unanswered. LinkedIn connection requests remain pending for days. It's a rough time for people whose job revolves around connecting. But if you're in the midst of a summer slump, the worst thing you can do is panic.

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

Recruiting and marketing may be two separate fields, but in today’s digital world, the lines between these practice areas have become increasingly blurred. The recruiting landscape is highly candidate-driven and competitive for recruiters, who have been fighting tooth and nail to capture the candidates’ interest.

Too often, we think we are innovating, when all we are doing is copying. We look at our competitors, seeing what drives their success and we copy them. We try to do the very same things that makes them successful. Whether it’s the same tools, programs, methods, content, we think we innovate by copying. Or we may look at other successful organizations, assessing what they do, copying it with the hope of being as successful or better than they are.
