Last week Tom Hopkins shared a post on LinkedIn that resembled what I have said so many times. He said, " The art of selling involves two jobs: Job One is to reduce sales resistance and the other is to increase sales acceptance.". Many readers left comments about the importance of relationships as a means to preventing resistance from going up. I left a comment that said, " Thanks Tom.

If there is one type of person every salesperson has more than a few pain-filled stories about, it is the gatekeeper. Relax! I’ve experienced my share of this too. You can’t make too many sales calls of any type without encountering one. You don’t have to think that the gatekeeper is the person waking up in the morning with the sole intent to keep you out.

Most buyers we speak to don’t have much time for salespeople. The reason is they still think of them as being slick-talking, time-draining, pressure-inducing parasites who are trying to rip buyers off and get as much profit as possible. We all know this is a hackneyed, superficial oversimplification, based on ages-old templates that were forged from the old snake-oil salespeople of the wild-west.

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.

The average voicemail response rate is 4.8%. 15% of the average sales rep’s time is spent leaving voicemails.
