The following list of ideas about training salespeople is for those in B2B sales training or who aspire to train others. Many ideas come from my experience as a person being trained to sell, with a few coming from watching others, and more from my own experiences. Respect the Sales Force’s Experience: I once watched a sales trainer explain to the people in his training that the way they were selling was wrong, that it needed to change, or they would continue to struggle.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives, it has also affected how we use social media. For instance, Facebook has reported an increase of 77 million more daily active users due to the stay-at-home orders and there has been a 20% year-over-year increase in the time spent on mobile apps. As a business, it is critical to understand how your consumers’ behavior is changing on social media as the usage increases.

Only a dentist can legally perform teeth whitening.

The neophiliac is one who loves what is new and novel, finding what’s new and now to be more valuable than what came before it. One can, however, take this preference to an extreme, believing that something new and novel is better than old things, a common mistake when one is young and resists the idea that because something is old it isn’t valuable.

According to a survey of more than 25,000 consumers in 30 markets, Facebook and Instagram saw a 40% increase in usage during Q1 of 2020. For many brands and businesses, this usage uptick provides a greater opportunity to connect with consumers and build community.

Dental veneers (sometimes known as porcelain laminates) are one of, if not the best solution to most dental problems – particularly those that are aesthetic in nature. Below are some facts that attest to this: Veneer installation is irreversible, painless and gives a natural look. It can also withstand the effects of most diets. Some dentists agree that porcelain veneers look and feel less bulky than lumineers (composite veneers), even though lumineers are actually thinner than porcelain.

Twenty-six weeks is a lot of time. That number multiplied by five working days minus six holidays gives you one hundred and twenty-four working days. That’s enough time to rack up a tremendous amount of accomplishments. The variable is what you decide to do with the time you have available to you. Some are going to decide their year is shot by this point because of the crisis.

What makes a call “ cold ” is that the person you are calling is not expecting your call. Because they are not expecting your call, you interrupt their day, even if they aren’t doing anything important when you call them. You can never know who you are calling, and even looking at Linkedin before dialing the phone doesn’t provide any information about their general disposition or their current mood.

There are many reasons salespeople and sales organizations struggle to produce better results. There aren’t any secrets that allow some sales organizations to perform better than their peers.

Most of the activities around sales are necessary (some more than others) but don’t improve your sales results. Sales results are only generated by creating and winning new opportunities. You can easily spend too much time on things outside of opportunity creation and opportunity capture. Better sales results start with your spending more time selling.

The whole social distancing thing hasn’t been great for salespeople or their clients. But the distancing started long before the global pandemic of 2020. It started when we began to expect that the tools would somehow replace face-to-face human interactions. The more important the outcome, the less transactional you should be in sales. The more important your client believes the outcome to be, the less transactional they will want you to be.

The reason we think in terms of value creation is that it is how you create a strong preference for your prospective client to buy from you instead of your competitor. Throughout the B2B sales conversation, you can do and say things that are value positive, improving your chances of winning new business. You might also do things that are value-negative, reducing your odds and making it more difficult for you to capture a new opportunity.

No one enjoys being told “no.” But it comes with the territory in B2B sales. While you don’t have to enjoy it, you can use it to change your approach and improve your results. “No” is simply feedback , and it can instruct you in what to do differently in the future. No to the Commitment for Time. There is only one reason you ever hear the word “no” when you ask your prospective client for a meeting.

Over the last three months, we’ve been living with—and through—extraordinary events like none we have ever experienced. Our response to these events has been equally remarkable, even though we made mistakes along the way. It can take time to learn what you need to know to adjust your response. We rarely get things perfect, and getting things right on the first try is exceedingly uncommon.
