With any job, a primary consideration is compensation. We all want to be paid fairly. One common perk of a career in sales is the ability to earn more based on your own hard work and selling success. With salary, commission, bonuses, and other incentives, sales professionals often have options and feel in control of the compensation they receive, which can be great for motivation and fulfillment.

In a complex B2B sales environment, it is rare for an individual seller to negotiate an entire deal on his/her own without the support, guidance and active participation from the rest of the organization. There are multiple functions and teams involved in negotiation alongside the sales team.

Confession time: I've been in the market for a new car for months now, but the thought of stepping onto a car lot and negotiating prices with a car salesperson is about as exciting as getting a root canal. Luckily for me, the Internet exists, and I can do quite a bit of research on my own. I can pinpoint the exact value of my current car, compare prices, and find the right car for me.

In our personal lives, evidence does exactly the same – provides the facts. It is, in its simplest form, information that supports or refutes a belief or a proposition.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

Many of our news feeds present content based on that which we have read and consumed in the past. Facebook, LinkedIn and other social channels are (in)famous for feeding us content based both on our interaction with the content and their insight into activity on other sites.

As a result, the only thing they talk about is the product–it’s features and functions, customers using the solutions, how great their company is, and how the product is better than competition. They don’t understand the customer, as a result, can’t translate what the solutions mean to the customer.
