🔑 Sales Stat of The Week:

“57% of C-Suite buyers prefer outreach by phone (meaning a rep calls them on the phone), but only 37% of reps report closing most deals via cold calling.” (Hubspot)

There are a couple of items to unpack here. First, over half of high-level decision-makers prefer phone ☎️ communications over email, social, or other forms of communication. That’s a key stat to understand. Second, there’s a 20% gap between reps who report closing opportunities using the phone, versus the preference from the customer side.

Smells like an opportunity to be different from you’re competitors!

📊 Weekly Financial Forecast:

Are businesses absorbing the tariffs or passing them on to their customers? What the data is showing is that nearly a third of manufacturers and about 45% of service firms passed along all tariff-induced cost increases by raising their prices.

Furthermore, over half of both manufacturers and service firms reported raising prices within a month of experiencing tariff-related cost increases, with many doing so within a day or a week. Another quarter indicated they had raised prices (or planned to do so) within one to three months of such cost increases, while few were waiting longer than three months.
