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.

While likability can be a huge plus in sales, it’s not the only reason buyers buy. Today, with tighter budgets and multiple decision makers, there’s much more to it. Buyers buy whether they like the seller or not. Research in the Harvard Business Review supports this.

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.

Today, he says it is 1000-1400 touches per opportunity. His observation, “Simply Speechless” is, if anything, an understatement. He does offer some clarification, these touches are across all channels, for example email, phone, social, text.

Competitive differentiation is at the core of every organization’s sales strategy. It’s why customers choose your solution and why sellers get excited about bringing your product to market. As markets change, though, customer needs change too. It’s possible that your differentiation may need to adapt to fit these changing customer behaviors.

Email automation makes the job a lot easier — but your automated emails can’t waste the prospect’s time or come off as hollow or impersonal.

This year, I set a goal to read at least two books a month. One for fun and one for business. Most months I get two read, and occasionally more depending on how much time I have on airplanes. I find I get more books finished these days if I listen rather than read. For the business books, I like to listen and take notes but if the book is packed full of things I want to refer to, I will purchase a physical copy after I finish listening and mark it up.
