Part 2: Coaching Your Team Post-Covid Recovery. In the pre-COVID days, sales managers would ride along with a sales rep for the day. They would observe calls, ask questions to help the sales rep evaluate what worked well and didn’t work, and have the rep come up with ways they would commit to improving their selling skills. The most significant impact of COVID on salespeople was the shift from face-to-face to virtual sales calls.

Social selling is the process of leveraging your social network to sell products or services. In fact, 78% of social sellers outsell competitors who don't use social media. The most important thing to remember when doing social selling is that each platform is different. What works on one platform may not work on another. It’s important to understand how each platform works before trying to sell on it.

This blog post is for those of you who haven’t purchased and read any of my book of scripts yet (what are you thinking? ). For those of you who are prospecting, this objection, “We’re happy with who we’re using,” is something you most likely encounter often. The question is: what do you say to it? This objection—like all others—is a perfect one to script an effective response to, and here is one of my favorites: Objection: “We’re happy with who we’re using” (Or any variation like, “We’re all set

How do you open your calls? Do you ask, “How are you today?” or do you use a different opening? There was a time when I was against using the worn-out opening of, “How are you today?” and provided a slew of different options—all of which had their place, and some of which I still use, on occasion, today. But after years of cold calling (and calling clients back), I have found that I revert back to this standard opening again and again.

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.

I’m a huge fan of F1 Racing. It’s just fascinating to watch, learn about the teams, drivers, cars. I love looking at the racing strategies. In the early 2000’s I was fortunate in beginning to see a little of the behind the scenes work of the F1 teams. I was on the founding team of an AI software tool. It turned out, after each race, the teams had terabytes of data they wanted to analyze to improve how they performed in the next race.

Our founder, Steve Marx, used to say that things should be no longer than they need to be, but also no shorter. Applying that to the sales process, it should take no longer than it needs to be effective, but also no shorter. In the sales process, some prospects are traveling toward you; others are traveling away. It would seem that we should just pitch and close the ones that are traveling quickly toward us, right?
