Every prospect’s needs and desires are unique. In some cases, you may not want to cross-sell or up-sell at all. Other times, it may make sense to use just one method or the other. However, if a scenario presents itself in which you can employ both cross-selling and up-selling in tandem, by all means do it. Not only will you maximize revenue, but you’ll also show your prospect that you are capable of providing a more intelligent solution.

If you’re responsible for designing or implementing sales training for your organization, you know the effectiveness of training varies greatly. It might not be implemented properly, land well with participants, relevant to sellers’ daily work, or it might be forgotten completely in the days and weeks following the training. Sales training fails more often than it succeeds.

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.

The foundation for most successful go-to-market teams is data — but not just any data will do. B2B sales and marketing teams need reliable firmographic profiles of their target accounts that will stay up-to-date amid the rapid pace of change in business. Sourcing a continuous stream of reliable business data isn’t a straightforward process. Data teams continue to struggle with outdated records and fragmented systems that, at best, result in unpredictable sales outcomes.

On a coaching call last week, a manager and I were discussing a seller new to his team. On pulling up this person’s sales assessment, all I could think was, “WOW! Look at all that talent!” This person was strong across the board. So much potential. Unfortunately, this seller was definitely not reaching their potential. Struggling, not making budget, not willing to learn, and a poor attitude.

Ask people what they think sales enablement is, and you will get multiple, varying answers. They might say it’s anything your company does to help your sales team be effective. They might say it’s tools to help reps sell more. And others say it’s the process of helping sales teams. You can’t blame them for their general answers. Sales enablement is an all-encompassing term that involves many components.

A reader wrote me, “Dave do you think sales enablement professionals need selling experience?” It’s a follow on to many of the discussions about “Do sales managers need sales experience?” My immediate reaction to both those questions was “HELL YEAH!!!!” My mind went to all the supporting arguments, things like: How do they possibly understand what sellers face, without having done the job themselves?

We’ve all heard the adage that it can cost five times more to land a new customer than it does to maintain an existing one. For many B2B go-to-market teams, this rings true — as long as it’s the right customer. Sustainable revenue growth comes when you engage with the best-fit accounts that have the potential to grow over time. And growing a customer account takes special care.

Not enough time. Not enough people. Smaller budgets. Sound familiar? If you’re like most sales leaders, you face increasing pressure for your teams to hit their numbers. At the same time, though, you’re short-staffed, everything costs more (while budgets get tighter), and there never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done. That being the case, more sales organizations are looking for ways to help them do more with less.
