From prospecting clients to making the pitch, it’s the sales team that brings your business profits.

Starting out in sales as an SDR can be extremely exciting and rewarding, but also soul crushing when things don’t click. After chatting with hundreds of CEOs and sales leaders over the last couple years, I know they too feel the pressure when things aren’t working because, ultimately, the buck stops with them. But unlike those in leadership positions, a junior SDR tends to be pointed in a specific direction by a superior and will, by default, trust they’re being pointed in the right direction.

Stop confusing your buyers. I was so frustrated. I was trying to contact a prospect and couldn’t find the company phone number on their website. Maybe it’s old-fashioned, but the phone works. I wasn’t cold calling , I was calling a referral—who, by the way, had no contact information on his email signature. I’ve walked out of many retail stores when no one even bothered to acknowledge I was there.

Author: Beau Wysong RFPs are a pain. There’s really no way around it. Responding to proposal requests is a slow process that adds time to the sales cycle. For many businesses, the RFP process has changed very little over the years. Manual processes tie up the sales and marketing team for weeks as they sift through previous answers to repetitive questions, chase responses to new questions, verify the information and seek approvals, over and over again.

So, here’s what happened last week: I bought a new car and called a local window tinting franchise to get it tinted. The owner answered, quickly took my credit card for the top tinting package, and then attempted to upsell me to his high priced “car wrapping” package (basically a full body protection package). The problem is how he opened the conversation.

But when I receive an email from a salesperson I’m about to meet, the odds are much better that I’ll open the email and review the content.
