At the top of the funnel, marketers obsess over attracting, capturing, and handing off qualified leads. At the bottom of the funnel, sellers fixate over deals won and revenue attained. But what about the middle of the funnel? It’s easily the most ignored – but, arguably, the most important – stage in any sales pipeline. The middle of the funnel is where relationships with prospects are built, and where reps learn what obstacles need to be overcome.

I once attended a sales kickoff that was a big waste of time. This particular company whisked away our entire sales department to a tropical location without putting together any structured agenda. They thought leaving our days open to brainstorm as a group was a good plan of action. When in fact, it turned into a whole lot of kicking back, but not much kicking off.

When getting to the closing of a sale, salespeople often start to feel nervous because they feel they may get a rejection or they are putting the buyer under some pressure.

Here are some tips that will help you when you get to this important point in the sale. 1) Don’t think of the close as a close !

The Board of Directors serves an incredible purpose in organizations: they provide council, they instruct, and of course, they apply pressure and ask some (very) tough questions. For sales leaders, those questions can be extremely daunting. Many times, the answers lie in post-it notes or in Word doc blue sheets, are buried deep in Salesforce reports, or are based on hunches or anecdotes from conversations with sales professionals.

It sounds great in theory, and I applaud your kindness and compassion, but make no mistake, the Golden Rule does not work when developing people.

Today’s salespeople need to know more about their prospects before conducting outreach. And, chances are, they’ll need to know someone other than the decision maker pretty well. In days of old, salespeople could call the C-suite, marketing could email them, and it was much easier to gain access to the decision maker. Now, C-suites can isolate themselves with caller ID, email filters, and assistants.

One of the leading indicators for sales success is to look at the number of appointments that a salesperson has each week. (This is not the only leading indicator that you should be looking at, but it is one of them.) The idea is that if a salesperson has a significant amount of appointments each week which involve finding needs, getting assignments, presenting solutions, or delivering a proposal, that this quality sales activity will lead to good solid revenue performance.

Hiring salespeople is a high-stakes game. The cost of a bad sales hire can average from $25,000 to $50,000, not to mention the less quantifiable damage to team morale and culture. Conventional wisdom suggests that extroverts -- commonly thought of as outgoing and sociable -- would make better salespeople than introverts, who have been popularly represented as awkward in social situations.
What if there was a better method of changing the conversation with your customer from delivering pricing to delivering value solutions? A method that would help keep you in control, manage the uncertainty, and close larger deals more quickly for you and your company? There is.
