Exemplary sales managers don't just pop up out of nowhere. And very few — if any — reps can assume a management role and thrive, based strictly on intuition.

By Tibor Shanto. Want to split a room of salespeople, just ask if “sales is a numbers game or not?” The debate has raged on for years with few converts. Ultimately, neither can convince the other that they were wrong, but neither can say they were right. Full disclosure, I came from the sales is a numbers game camp. While it is safe to say I have evolved, I have not abandoned my “sales is a numbers game” friends.

That’s right – you are probably going about phone prospecting wrong, and blaming your low success on an “ancient” and “out of date” prospecting strategy of cold calling.

By Tibor Shanto. Sales like life is cyclical in many ways, some cycles help others may present headwinds. But one thing cycles have in common is their repeating nature and their predictability. No will be surprised by the back-to-school TV ads in a week or two, then Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. This regularity leads to people developing habits in response, action – reaction.

Price is important—of course, but sometimes I think we, sales people, make it more important than it is to the customer. Too often, pricing, moreover our willingness to discount, is the centerpiece of our sales strategies. First, the customer will always say that prices is important. It is, customers want to pay a fair price, they want to make sure they are getting the best pricing they can get.

“Oh, your email ended up in my spam folder” is what email marketers and salespeople hear in their nightmares. Emails only suffer from deliverability issues for a few reasons and all of them are bad. If your emails are ending up in your recipients’ spam folders it means that your sales and marketing are having no impact. And if no one sees your emails, it’s just a (short) matter of time before your pipeline starts to feel it.

It's reasonable to suggest that, on occasion, sales calls are appropriately deemed 'exploratory discussions'; the kind of discussion in which we just talk and 'see where it goes.'.

Every aspect of your business has to be firing on all cylinders if your company is going to realize its full potential — and organizational silos represent one of the biggest obstacles to generating and sustaining that kind of efficiency.
