B2B sales have changed—perhaps forever. Your sales reps have only about 5% of a customer’s time during their buying journey, according to Gartner. B2B sales are also much more complex and lengthy than those of the past, often taking months (even years) and numerous touchpoints to close. For today’s product marketers, creating content that supports this sales cycle has never been more challenging.

Being a Sales Mentor to your peers can be one of the most rewarding aspects of a sales career. There’s no salary. No commission. The hours can be irregular, but the benefits make it worthwhile. As anyone who has had a mentor will tell you, a mentor’s ability to shape and guide a career extends beyond the professional.

By Tibor Shanto. One of the hardest challenges salespeople face is an undifferentiated world is price. While all roads lead to price, the question is which road you choose, and how you get your prospect there. So, while price will always be a factor, you don’t have to be a hostage to it. If you lead one way, you’ll face one set of responses, pick a different path, and you will yield different results.

In complex B2B buying, it’s popular to talk about being consultative and/or creating value with our customers. We talk about sales people as problem solvers, working with our customers to identify and help solve their problems. Despite giving lip service to these concepts, it seems our actions are focused on the opposite. Too many organizations seem so focused on their own efficiency, mechanizing our process, and transactionalizing our engagement strategies.
