They might face a selling slump because of factors beyond their control such as an economic downturn or even a pandemic like COVID-19.

Are You a Great Sales Leader? Sales leaders are running so fast that they don’t have a chance to breathe, and they certainly don’t have time to self-evaluate. Many sales leaders find themselves: Feeling overwhelmed, overly stressed, or frustrated because of the pace of change. Working hard but unable to stay on top of the daily barrage of emails, texts, virtual meetings, and voice messages.

It seems as if the phrase “sell on value, not on price” must have been around since shortly after the dawn of B2B selling, and it would be hard to argue with the sentiment. But what do we actually mean by value - and perhaps more important, how do our customers perceive value?

When you think about cars, you know there are coupes, sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and sports cars. You also know there are luxury cars, mid-range cars and economy cars.

For every sale, there are only about five core objections: price, think about it, talk to someone else, etc., and then some outliers you get less frequently. But overall, you know what’s coming. So, why not eliminate, in advance, your top one or two objections?

Sales pros, I’m calling on you to end the debate on live chat versus chatbots. Sure, on one hand, there’s the convenience and power of an automated chat function. On the other is the valid claim that technology used to replicate human interaction just isn’t there yet. In reality, we need to move beyond this “either/or” mentality. At a high level: Your chatbot should function as a qualifier to ensure the person on the other end is a real prospect.

There’s no way to build a company alone. In the same way that founders could never reach their goals without sales, marketing, customer support, R&D, and HR teams, one company standing alone won’t get half as far as one that invests deeply in connecting with other companies in its space. That’s why savvy companies invest in partnership teams and partner programs.

“People love to buy, but hate to be sold to.”. It sounds nice, but that doesn’t really solve our dilemma as salespeople because, obviously, it’s our job to sell to people. So, this leaves a pretty big question on the table: How can we sell to a prospect without them feeling like they’re being sold to? One answer to this question is the Sandler pain funnel, a method of establishing need and urgency with prospects that feels more like a consultative interview than it does a sales pitch.

Internet access, email, and online training were limited to desktop computers. If we needed anything on those machines while we were on the road, we were out of luck. For that time, learning management system (LMS) software was ideal for enterprise learning and development, including sales training.
