The cost of poor sales visibility. Today nearly 80 percent of sales engagements are digital. That means massive troves of data about customer behavior and buying cycles just waiting for a sales team to leverage. The problem is only a very small sliver of this data makes it to the CRM—and even that which is there is typically just sitting. What’s the use of having all this data if you aren’t putting it to use. .

Author: Manoj Kumar The new year comes with all the anticipation and hope one can muster. The pandemic year has left many business leaders in a state of “what next?”. While there was widespread business and economic disruption among other kinds of disruptions in our daily lives last year, 2020 was actually the year of doing business online. If research and the numbers are to be believed, last year saw a growth that could only be compared to the accumulated growth of the past 10 years before it!

Before you get on your high horse and tell me you wouldn’t be caught dead using a script, consider: If I were to record your prospecting and demo calls for a week, and then transcribe what you say, what would I get? Your script. You see, even if you think you would never use a script, the truth is, you already are! The problem is that what you are so used to saying, your “script,” in many cases isn’t the best practice.

How important are prospecting insights to your sales strategy? It turns out they’re pretty important. Of course, your sales strategy’s success, including reaching your revenue goals, depends on the sales team hitting their numbers. But consider this: HubSpot Research found that 72% of companies with less than 50 new opps per month didn’t achieve their revenue goals, compared to 15% with 51 to 100 new opps and just 4% for companies with 101 to 200 new opps.”.

I read that Admiral James Stockdale , a Vietnam War veteran and former POW at the Hanoi Hilton , said, “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”. His combination of faith and brutal reality was the difference between surviving long enough to be released from captivity, and those who died in captivity.

By Tibor Shanto. People in sales have come to accept that selling is no longer for lone-wolves, packs hunt much more successfully. Many of those same sellers also know that buyers generally act in packs as well. The pundits tell us there are six to a dozen people involved in a purchase of a B2B solution. So why do many salespeople continue to prospect as though they can only engage one person at a time?
