Do your salespeople sound great in role play, then fall apart on a sales call?  It does not matter if you have the perfect sales script - scripts only work if you give the prospect their lines and tell them exactly what to say and how to say it.  If you can do that, your salespeople will be just as effective on sales calls as they are in your sales meetings.  Instead of worrying about developing the "perfect sales script," focus on coaching your sales team for conversational fluency.

Until last year, in-person, face-to-face training was by far the primary learning modality used to improve leadership and sales performance. The reason for that is not hard to understand—it has simply been the tried and tested way to deliver learning that leads to behavior change and performance improvement. When the ability to deliver face-to-face training was instantly cut off, the need for performance improvement to execute business strategy continued and, in some ways, became even more acute. 

Today, more than ever, there is a need to ensure that virtual training works to improve organizational outcomes. Because of the surge in work-at-home arrangements and travel restrictions caused by the global pandemic, most learning shifted to virtual learning without the benefit of careful planning or preparation. This shift requires program owners to design virtual training with desired outcomes in mind and demonstrate that the virtual format works.

Webinars do generate leads. People lost faith in webinars as a lead generation source in 2020. They didn’t get leads. Prospects didn’t attend. The problem isn’t the webinar. It’s what you’re doing before, during, and after that’s failing to drive attendance and convert leads.  

Hiring a new salesperson is always difficult - especially in the current job market. But what if your next superstar is already employed by your company? Or what if they're already on your team - just in a different role?  They could even be working in a non-sales role for a business you frequent regularly.

Sales enablement is an emerging profession that is quickly approaching a crossroads with significant ramifications. Like our training and HR counterparts before us, practitioners of sales enablement face a choice of being viewed as an overhead expense or an essential business partner that provides value as a critical piece of the organizational growth engine.  

Competencies are often talked about in HR and talent circles, but less commonly in sales. In fact, competencies seem kind of nerdy and confusing to many sales leaders. Should we be teaching sales methodology aligned with sales process, or should we focus on the sales competencies?

Struggling to build relationships virtually? You’re not alone. Harvard Business Review confirms that building new relationships is especially difficult in a virtual world. Relationships require certain qualities to grow and flourish, regardless of whether you are communicating face-to-face or virtually.

This results in misunderstandings, miscommunication, and missed opportunities for a relationship to take root.

Sales hunters proactively look for business opportunities. They start every day ready to pound the virtual pavement and convert prospects. They’re effective and difficult to find. Too often, business leaders think they’re hiring a stellar hunter. A few months later, they realized the candidate’s greatest sales skill was selling themselves.  

On average, 83% of all newly hired salespeople quit within 3 years while 30% of them quit within just 3 months. One of the biggest reasons that newly hired sales representatives fail is because of their inability to prospect and build a pipeline of opportunities.

A person’s credibility is no different in virtual meetings than face-to-face meetings, yet many people exhibit behavior on camera that undermines their efforts to build trust and calls their credibility into question.

In this session virtual-selling expert Julie Hansen shares the must-know secrets from her new book, "Look Me In The Eye: Using Video to Build Relationships with Customers, Partners and Teams."
