Values statements are helpful, but they’re not nearly enough. The “culture champions” — those organizations that make integrity a way of doing business — are the ones that stand apart from the rest. The Value Of Integrity. How important is integrity in business? In its Culture 500 Index , MIT Sloan Management Review/Glassdoor includes integrity as one of the ‘Big 9’ values — those values that are most frequently cited and that “are linked to a variety of desirable outcomes like finan

Winning large business contracts leads to increased revenue — but selling solely to large enterprises isn’t necessarily sustainable for a sales strategy. Though it may not seem like it, selling to SMBs can benefit you in the long run. One of its benefits includes connecting directly to primary decision makers instead of dealing with groups of buyers and chains of execs.

By Tibor Shanto. Salespeople spend a lot of time looking for people to make decisions. Yet often the biggest decision impacting their success needs to be made by them. But most salespeople and people in general, find it easier to rationalize. Easier to live with the consequences of might-have-beens, than the consequences of their actions. While others may have a hand in deciding the outcome, only you control how it all starts, if it starts.

A sale will never happen until the status quo is challenged in some way. Perhaps, the customer has experienced problems or challenges. Perhaps they are discovering new opportunities they want to pursue. They decide to change, initiating, among other things, a buying journey.

Decay is natural. If you leave anything alone for too long, it will age and, usually, become outdated. When it comes to data, this process is considerably speedier. Data decay happens naturally (and often) due to how regularly people change jobs, titles, companies and beyond. Because of this, many organizations are working with a B2B database that is outdated, invalid, or incomplete.
