What are the best qualities to look for when hiring an entry-level sales rep – someone who will have to be taught how to sell…the right way? It’s a question I get frequently.

And while it may work for Zen and motorcycles , in sales, it is not about the journey but the destination, the win. Everything we do as sales professionals needs to maximize that end and ease the journey for all involved.

Modern marketers can’t allow these conversations to fall on deaf ears — and that’s where social listening comes in.

Mañana. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ve probably heard this word before. Mañana means tomorrow. Question : “ When will you do what you need to do ?”. Answer : “ Mañana.”. That’s the answer most people will tell you, and it’s probably the answer you give yourself more often than you care to admit, right? Whenever you put off doing something that could be done today until tomorrow, you are deprioritizing that thing.
