๐Ÿ“Ž Sales Tip(s) of the Week:

The most successful SALES reps arenโ€™t smarter than you, they simply take risks and move quicker than you.

Everyone in business or SALES has questioned their abilities when theyโ€™ve lost a deal โ€œto that other rep/company.โ€

You question your abilities.

You find yourself second-guessing what you thought were tried and true methods or techniques.

But hereโ€™s the thing.

When you lose a deal or opportunity, itโ€™s most times because you took fewer risks (skimped on value) werenโ€™t as clear in your delivery (harder to do business with), or were out-hustled by a competitor (moved slower; took longer).

And none of that has to do with someone, or something, being smarter than you.

โ€œ69% of sales leaders are planning to invest in prospecting technology.โ€ (Prezentor)

Prospecting for new business has shifted in recent years. Identifying and communicating effectively with buyers has become a more in-demand skill. That doesnโ€™t mean that sometimes, investing in a tool or system to generate leads makes more sense than investing in additional headcount.
