It seems as if Social Selling is being talked about everywhere by everyone who is anyone in the world of sales and marketing. Yet, many sales reps haven’t adopted effective methods for selling in our digital age, or worse, are doing damage to their reputations and opportunities by fumbling their way through and alienating prospects in the process.

Research has confirmed that many of the behaviors sales people execute actually drive down performance. Because sales people are largely unaware of how the brain instinctively creates a buying decision, they do not know if they are selling in a way that contradicts it. Yet, there have been thousands of scientific studies that have codified how the brain is hardwired to be influenced. When sales people align how they sell with these scientific principles their ability to sell is enhanced.

Is your sales team using proven scientific methods to change people?  Or, are they wasting their valuable time and not effecting decision-makers?

How are today’s leading companies becoming more strategic to their most important Customers and what types of strategic account management (SAM) solutions are they deploying to expand key customer relationships? How are they gaining competitive advantage through the implementation of SAM best practices and accelerating growth of their most significant accounts?

Sales organizations often look at the competition as the enemy that must be beaten. With this mindset, salespeople and managers often fight the competition in full view on the customer’s front lawn, damaging your company’s reputation.

Companies can provide all the fancy sales tools and training in the world, but unless each salesperson starts with the right mindset, they will not achieve peak performance. Over the past few years, neuroscience and cognitive psychology research have revealed proven methods for developing a peak performance mindset. Originally popular in sports, now the practices are being applied to B2B sales.

A ten-year study of more than 100 companies showed that the number one cause of business failure is bad strategy. But, the reality is that only 3 out of every 10 managers are strategic. And when you consider that being able to set strategic direction is ten times more important to the perception of a leader’s ability than any other behavior, it’s critical that you master strategic thinking and planning.   In this webinar, you will learn a simple framework to transform strategy from a once-a-year dog-and-pony show that gets buried in a plan that never gets used to a laser-focused strategic mindset that you’ll use on a regular basis to grow your business.

70% of all change initiatives fail and 16% of a workforce will change their job or use their power to stop change.  Talk about major disruption with no benefit.  To fail and lose 16% of your workforce while being unsuccessful is a pretty scary proposition.  For sales professionals, ultimately you sell change through offering a new environment with the solution or product you offer.  

Sales and Marketing teams exist in highly competitive, ever-shifting environments. Determining your teams’ focus can be a game changer and help set the stage for immediate and long-term WINS.   

Sales leaders today wear many hats and time is always scarce. If time is limited and we noted sales teams need coaching what is a leader to do?

It’s Q4. Your sales team is down to the wire, looking for last-minute opportunities to close. But prospecting and closing business around the holidays presents a challenge. What can your sales reps say to get people to take their calls, agree to meet, and close a sale with only weeks left in the year?

When hiring a salesperson, things are not always what they appear. They’re quick to tell you about the companies they’ve worked with or all the contacts they’ll bring. They may even have some positive numbers from their past. You might think you’re hiring a rainmaker, but if you’re not careful, all you'll get are storm clouds.

Relationships have always been important in selling. Even in the new digital age, making personal connections based on trust and integrity, and supporting client goal achievement, remain essential to top sales performers. Unfortunately, many average salespeople operate under the impression that strong business relationships "just happen" when you get to know someone.

Join prospect-attraction authority Kendra Lee and create a blueprint for planning and hosting webinars that attract new prospects and start conversations during these turbulent times.

Today's younger sales reps expect more feedback and coaching from their sales managers. Veteran sales reps want to stay on top of their game but don't want to admit to their deficiencies. And their sales managers are hustling to meet the demands of upper management, worrying about meeting quota and putting out the latest fire. Sound familiar?

PowerPoint has a wonderful new presentation option called Live Presentations. You can share a deck with your audience and they can each have a personalized experience with subtitles, multi-language translations, reactions, and feedback. It’s a terrific way to share content, whether remotely or even in-person.

The days when a salesperson could close a sale with a "feature dump" presentation and win the sale are long gone. Unfortunately, many salespeople don’t know there is an alternative. They know they need to talk about "value" but how to do so isn’t as obvious.

A single sale alone does not make for a successful sales career. Top sales performers know that securing a sale is not the final goal but the first step in acquiring a loyal customer who will champion your solutions.

Your marketing activities generate interest. But that interest isn’t translating into new business. You have a sales team. They say they follow up. What gives?  

Uncommunicated expectations are often unmet expectations. That won’t fly when you are trying to talk with your customers’ executives! With complex solutions, often it becomes clear that higher-level support is required to make the sale. What does it take to engage your customers’ executives in a meaningful way? 

Unlock the true potential of your sales career by understanding that a single sale is just the beginning. Exceptional sales professionals recognize that the ultimate goal extends beyond securing a transaction; it involves cultivating a dedicated customer who becomes an advocate for your solutions.
