You shouldn’t just go through the motions of social selling. Imagine LinkedIn as the world’s largest networking conference, and you’re the keynote speaker every day.

When we think about AI, it’s easy to imagine it replacing our jobs. And while it is true that robots have been largely taking over, it’s not the end of the workforce.

Increased revenue? Yes. That’s a metric sales teams work hard to achieve, but the problem is most sales leaders have a tough time optimizing their pipeline. Why?

As sales professionals, we are always looking for ways to sell more of our product or service to existing customers.

Most of us have heard about the Golden Rule. Essentially, the Golden Rule states that you should do to others what you would have them do to you. While that rule is applicable in a whole host of areas, one-on-one communications are all about the Platinum Rule. The Platinum Rule is a basic, yet fundamentally […]
Great storytelling can be the secret weapon for any business. Whether you are promoting a brand new product or service or simply want to share what separates your business from your competitors, you can get the job done with a great story. All of that said, great storytelling is difficult. It doesn’t come naturally for […]
We live in an uncertain world. From uncertainties in our professional lives to uncertainties in our personal lives, we all have to navigate a world that is noisy and unpredictable.

The world of B2B sales is always changing. The old way of B2B sales involved customers meeting a salesperson to learn about a new product or service.

We have all heard the phrase that the fortune is in the follow-up. It’s a widespread phrase because there is so much truth in it.

All businesses sell a product or service. However, few can claim that they run businesses that are tribes. Tribal leadership in business is not necessarily about the bottom line.

If you work in any type of sales position, you likely have to hit some sort of quota. Quotas aren’t necessarily a bad thing. They keep us focused on helping our companies achieve their sales goals. That being said, it may be hard to hit your quota. The pressure is clearly there, yet you may […]
Trust is a core component of selling any type of product or service. No matter how good your product or service actually is, you will find it difficult to sell that product or service if your prospect doesn’t trust you or your company.

We all try to separate and differentiate ourselves from competitors. Intuitively, we recognize that standing out in our sector can lead to more attention, more prospects, and more sales.
