Quote-of-the-Week

Innovation is the lifeblood of any tech company, and as it relates to revenue growth, there are only 5 areas you can leverage: New customer logo acquisition, expansion and upsell, geographic market expansion, new product introduction, and inorganic growth (acquisition). The first three areas a sales leader should look to optimize, and in the last two areas, you should be an active participant on your leadership team as you discuss the best option. If your company decides to grow revenue through new products or acquisition, be willing to increase the revenue expectation of your team(s).

Q&A with the expert

What SalesTech tools do you wish more Tech Sales/B2B Sales teams would use more of, which SalesTech products or categories of tools do you think will show falling demand over time?

Easy to use CRM systems are underutilized in my opinion. Too often I see sales professionals allow their email inboxes to dictate their daily focus and work. If you can get out of your inbox and really use a quality CRM system to manage your daily tasks and interactions I think reps would see greater success. We all have CRM solutions but most sales people I know just see them as reporting tools and not truly a way to manage your business.
