#My Best Sales Advice, Ryan Willumson

2019 was a year to remember for Industry Dive. They were Neal awards finalist, Azbee awards finalist, Washington Post's top workplace, Inc Magazine Fastest-Growing company, Folio 100 list, Deloitte technology fast 500 winners, and ended the year securing a deal with Falfurrias Capital partners to accelerate growth. As we were catching up, I asked Ryan, the CRO, and Co-Founder what was the best piece of sales advice he received. "The best sales advice I ever received was to shut up. You're better off fighting the instinct to fill the air. Learn to be comfortable with an extra beat of silence. [...]

4 Reasons to Love Sales

It is not hard to fall in love with sales. Few other jobs offer great pay, expense accounts, and flexible hours like sales. However, when you are struggling, it is easy to become frustrated with the volatility of sales. Most have experienced the euphoria of closing a huge deal or being 25% over quota, winning awards, and having great clients. Whereas we also experience moments of disenchantment, like when a manager gives an unattainable quota, your largest client cancels, a product glitches, or you spend your day dealing with unhappy customers. The highs are very high, and lows can be [...]

#My Best Sales Advice, Joe Shaker

New year, new possibilities, new growth, and potentially new team members. Although it has been over ten years since I did a deal with Shaker Recruitment in Chicago, Joe Shaker and I have stayed friends. Joe and I were catching up over the Holidays when I asked him what is the best piece of sales advice he received?  Immediately, he quoted his father, Joe Shaker Sr. Make a friend, make a deal.   Knowing both Joe Shaker Jr and Sr., I can verify they live this statement.

This dialogue provides the context to align revenue development, sales priorities, and long term health of sales to secure YOY growth.

Why Your Sales People Are Leaving

According to Sales Hacker, on average, today's salespeople only stay on the job for 16.8 months. Sellers are exchanging the promises of future commissions for short-term salary increases, and perks, bypassing the slugfest of building a book of business, which is vital for an organization's long-term success. Typical factors, like competition and the economy, are contributing to salespeople leaving.  But the most significant change of surveyed sellers is the level of people reporting dissatisfaction as the primary reason for departure.  Not surprisingly, the organizations with the longest sales team tenure are the same as the salespeople expressing the highest level [...]
