Inbound chat is really a wonderful way for people on your website to reach out to your company without having to pick up the phone. Make sure you have a chat option on the bottom of your site so when people are on your website they can chat in to someone quickly. Having chat on your site also enables someone from your company to ask that person a question like, "can I help you with anything?" or "do you have any questions about what you are reading." It is a great way to start the conversation with a potential prospect and put a human element to it.

I was talking with my colleague at a get together the other night about the feeling we have when we hit quota. We started talking about monthly quotas, quarterly quotas and yearly quotas and what people outside of sales really thought about sales reps and quotas. We had a discussion with sales people, marketing people and operational people about what it feels like hitting quota as a sales rep.

I had an idea to start doing little videos on my blog here that could quickly give tips to sales people out there. Please let me know what you think about them. My goal with these short videos is to have them be like 1-5 minutes long. Nothing too long. Snippits of useful tips that you could use as a sales rep that day at work to do better.
I talk about trigger events all the time and recently did a session here at HubSpot about my process and how I find timely trigger events for my leads and opps. Thought I would share a little bit of my sales process with you. In this video tutorial I will explain how you can use software (some free, some paid) to set yourself up to stay on top of your leads and opps. If you use these steps everytime you decide to work a lead or domain I can almost 100 % tell you that you will do better at having more helpful reasons to reach out to your prospect or current opp that you are working.

Some prospects want you to teach them. Some might tell you up front that they want your advice. Some might not tell you up front that they want to be taught so it is your job to expose that need to be taught. There are good and bad ways to do that.

Desperation in sales sucks. I really hate the feeling like I am failing. It is not just because I feel bad about myself but it is because I know that it will impact me in my job. When I feel bad, my work is bad.

Today I had a good amount of time to spend on prospecting and so I am working on getting as many converted leads into opps that I can to set myself up for a strong May and June. Summer is hard in sales because people go on vacations and people are spacey. They are in vacation mode sometimes so you need to do your best to prospect hard and smart to get good, quality conversions early on in May so you have a strong summer. This is your time to be a rock star sales prospector.

Let's face it you have to dial to get your leads to convert. I realize that you can send emails, leave voicemails and send linkedin notes. But, when it comes down to it you are always going to be to pick up the phone to speak to the prospect to get them to convert or at least know they are worthy of being converted into an opportunity to work.

I would definitely consider myself a modern sales rep. I talk about sales reps needing to be "more human" and "more real" to be a good sales rep today.
