You can do what the data tells you, or you can do what works. Which do you trust more—the lead generation data manufactured by sales technology tools and artificial intelligence, or your intuition, which is generated by years of experience and your emotional intelligence? There actually was a time before the internet, before social media, before apps, and before sales technology tools.

No matter how long you’ve been associated with sales, you’ll never know it all. We’ve worked with sales managers and directors who have been involved in sales all their working lives, sometimes over 40 years, and the evidence of bad leadership exists in the wastelands of their past, through poor motivational techniques, overload of their teams and a determination to prove no-one is as good as they are.

There are a plethora of reasons surrounding the fact that 50% of sales quotas are not being met. I am saying 50% because it’s ‘about right’ and besides what’s a percentage here and there between friends, readers or even salespeople and sales leaders – you know what they say about statistics! Well, the truth is – one percentage point amortised over a sales team, a community or an economy for just one day matters.

As a busy sales rep, you don’t have a ton of time to spend perusing blog posts. After all, you have calls to make, quotas to hit, and demos to run. But, what if we told you a quick reading break might actually increase your sales productivity? We won’t go so far as to say you should skip important meetings or spend half of your day reading blog posts—but we definitely recommend that you spend a few minutes every day catching up on industry news and sales blogs.

Author: Mike Schultz, President, RAIN Group Breaking through and setting sales meetings with C-suite buyers is tough. They’re off-the-charts busy, bombarded with sales messages, and gatekeepers keep them well insulated. Yet, many sellers are successful in breaking through and setting initial sales meetings with the C-suite. In a recent RAIN Group Center for Sales Research report , we asked buyers how they prefer to be contacted by sellers and what influences their decision to connect with some s
The Sales Heretic

Every salesperson wishes they sold the perfect product or service. And some salespeople believe they sell the perfect one. But “perfect” doesn’t exist. Because the reality is that every purchase we make is a compromise. From food, to clothing, to where we live, to legal representation, everything we buy is a compromise among myriad factors. [.].

Author: Judi Hand Contact center employees have one aim: using the information at their disposal to solve a customer’s problem. Companies provide these workers with data, contact history, service history, and so on to help them answer whatever questions the customer asks. But companies focus so much on the relationship between customers and data that they often ignore how smart data practices affect employees.

Can you imagine attaching a snow plow to a Lamborghini and hiring yourself out to clear parking lots? Back in April I wrote that we had gotten a new puppy. He's a year old now and has grown - a lot - but could you imagine putting a saddle on him and selling rides on the beach? Could you imagine if the US arsenal of nuclear weapons consisted of putting 1,000's of firecrackers into a plastic cylinder and then saying to North Korea, "try us!".

Even the most experienced sales reps don’t enjoy picking up the phone to call a complete stranger. Yet, cold calling is still an essential part of selling. In fact, 78% of decision-makers polled have taken an appointment or attended an event that came from a cold call ( source ). If your team’s performance is lagging and your cold calls are falling flat, it’s time to conduct an audit of your B2B database.

93% of B2B marketers use social media, and with good reason—it works ( source ). A 2014 study revealed that the ten most socially connected brands saw 31% greater revenue growth than the least connected brands. The same study showed that B2B decision makers are 10% more likely to consider brands that consumers know and feel connected to ( source ). We haven’t been shy about touting the benefits of social media in B2B sales and marketing.

In Jill Konrath's opinion, the salesperson is the primary differentiator in purchases today. As products and services become increasingly commoditized, buyers are aware they can get a similar offering from another company. But what they can't get from just any vendor is the same sales experience, which is created by the sales rep. This means salespeople have almost complete control of their own destinies.

Speed-to-lead. It’s an expression we use often here at VanillaSoft. If you’re not familiar with the definition, it refers to how quickly you respond to a new lead entering your system. Perhaps a prospect has filled out a form on your website for a killer piece of content or signed up to attend a powerful webinar you’ve scheduled. Maybe somebody responded to an email blast or a social media post asking for more information.
