How often do you focus on your prospect in your #sales call to understand their preferred method of communication? Do they talk fast or slow, are they easy going or intense? Pay attention and mirror their style. @womensalespros and eiselling. ow.ly/d6Pn30mCeGx
We hear it everyday, in prospecting, phone and Voice messages still work. The latest validation from @Televerde. ow.ly/g5gx30mCe8n
The first few #sales at a #SaaS start up tend to be through means that are not scalable. By the 10th sale you have most likely found some things you can replicate according to @jasonlk. ow.ly/vmJE30mrYTM
One of the biggest reasons for not closing a sale is because your prospect goes silent. Anyone in #sales has experienced it, including me! @lisa_magnuson on @womensalespros talks about why it happens and how to avoid the silent treatment. ow.ly/RmdF30mrYgX
What are you willing to give up to be successful? Zdravko Cvijetic has some suggestions for you. ow.ly/faTi30mrYuj
Once in a while you run across a post that puts things in perspective & reminds us to care about other people. Even in #sales we can do this and still come out on top. @jeff_baumgarten wrote an inspirational piece and a great tribute to Kate Steinle. ow.ly/ckv130meMHO

Too many early stage tech co hire the wrong #VPofSales skill set. #salesleaders from the big guys to work in a not recognized brand name co with little resources or proven sales process is almost always a mistake. Sandbox Partners breaks it down for you. ow.ly/zJyR30m3j0h
Great way to develop a long term customer relationship- Customer Report Card. The CRC is completed by your customers rating their #salesrep, #CSM or #accountmanager. Read more @realsalespop by Roy Osing ow.ly/RAKI30m3jmj
