The sales profession has evolved, but one thing has remained the same: the power and importance of mentorship.

#95: Customer Messaging that Seals the Deal 24:05

1y ago24:05

24:05

Think of your sales pipeline as less like a funnel and more like a subway map — your sellers can take multiple routes to close, as long as they head in the right general direction.

80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customer base, and retaining those customers comes at a fraction of the price of acquiring new ones.

What’s the top predictor of customer loyalty? It’s not service. It’s not even a great product (although that doesn’t hurt).

And when you align sales, marketing, customer experience, customer…

1y ago18:01

18:01

Here’s a controversial idea: Your SKO is not a massive training event. According to Peter Zink, Senior Director of Revenue Enablement at Sprout Social, it’s a time for people to come together, see each other, celebrate and align on a few critical concepts to take into the new year. To build an effective SKO today, Peter argues that you begin with a…

When you speak with a client, do they think you’re there to help them, or to drive them to a close? Because buyers can tell.

With weeks of prep work, exciting itineraries, and top-notch speakers, SKOs are usually an epicenter of excitement after a grueling end-of-year rush.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are simple—but getting it right is not easy.

Sales leaders, let’s try an exercise: if given a blank sheet of paper, can you write down three “superpowers” for each of your reps?

Truth bomb 💣 A lot of sellers fail because they fail to follow up. Your outbound can be on point, but unless it’s absolutely phenomenal, you’re not likely to close many deals with a single email. You’ve got to come back a few times, remind your buyer who you are, and show them exactly why they should execute your CTA. And guess what—tech can help w…

Your alarm goes off and you grab your phone, silencing the noise to scroll social media for a few minutes before getting ready for the day.

Your phone charger is frayed and bent. Wires exposed, you twist it slightly to the right and balance your phone just so to get it to charge. A new cord has been on your list for weeks, but let’s be honest, the situation isn’t quite urgent enough for you to hit “buy now.” It’s still charging, isn’t it? Until it isn’t.

Would you show up to a street race with a bicycle? That’s probably what it feels like as a seller up against today’s digitally-enabled buyers. B2B buyers have almost everything they need to make informed buying decisions on their own. They’re in the driver’s seat… and sellers are stuck pedaling behind, trying to catch up.

Imagine your buyers all live in a gated community. A cold call is like showing up to the gatehouse without an invitation and expecting the security guard to let you in.
