We expect the sales game to change every year, but 2023 has stood out as a uniquely transformative one. There's AI — obviously — and all the ways it's changing how we sell. But salespeople also had to work against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, which will likely carry into 2024. On top of that, shifts in buyer expectations continue to redefine our strategies year after year.

To any sales professional, maintaining the fine line between persistence and pushiness can often be challenging, especially as the year-end approaches and the pressure to close deals mounts. But we’ve all been on the receiving end of an overly aggressive salesperson, and you know how it feels—the more they push, the more you don’t want it.

When I think about different types of sales calls, some of the first terms that come to mind are terms like warm calling or cold calling. These are important to understand of course, but salespeople aren't always going to call just to pitch to a potential customer — the job encompasses so much more. Sales professionals not only convert prospects into buyers, they hold the power to negotiate, upsell, and even problem-solve after the initial purchase is made.

It’s interesting to see continued predictions of the death of selling. There are all sorts of variations. Some focus on PLG types of approaches, where the product sells itself–at least until one wants to scale that to the enterprise level. Others see the preference of buyers for rep-free buying experiences and digital buying processes as evidence that selling is no longer necessary.

We often gauge the quality of our conversations by the responses we get in those conversations. I have learned to gauge the quality of the conversation, the quality of engagement by the questions the people are asking. If there are no/few questions, there is very little engagement. If the majority of the questions are closed ended, the engagement isn’t much better.

In the past, onboarding involved sitting in a room and listening to your manager explain the role. Perhaps you’d take coffee breaks and grab lunch, but you almost always had to be on-site. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has changed. Virtual training has often become the default. There have been many benefits to this change — there are no geographic restrictions for who you hire and no need to pay for travel.
