It outlines the purpose and scope of each stage, including reviewing customer notes, stating the purpose of the call, identifying problems and needs, presenting solutions, addressing objections, and asking for the sale.

- Various techniques for market validation are discussed, including primary/secondary research, prototypes, MVPs, A/B testing, surveys, and interviews.

Many low, middle and high income workers get just four or five hours of rest ...Aneel Mitra
Sam McCalman works two jobs in New York, as a wheelchair attendant at JFK airport and wrangling luggage carts at night, to afford rent and send money to his children in Guyana. Due to his tight schedule between jobs, he averages just 4-5 hours of sleep per night. Research shows long-term sleep deprivation has serious health consequences. Many low-income American workers face similar situations of multiple jobs and lack of sleep due to financial demands.
This document discusses overcoming the fear of sales through updating perceptions of what sales entails. It summarizes that traditional views of sales involving pushy tactics are outdated, and today successful sales instead involves understanding customer needs and helping customers achieve their goals through products and services. The document advocates that all employees are involved in sales to some degree through influencing others, and that modern sales done well through consultation is similar to customer service. It concludes sales professionals are integral to powering businesses rather than something to avoid.
Can big data reinvent the credit score?Aneel Mitra
This document discusses the use of big data and predictive modeling to improve small business lending. Currently, community banks rely on personal relationships to assess small business loan applications, while larger banks rely more on credit scores. New fintech lenders are using alternative data sources and predictive algorithms to more accurately assess creditworthiness, including cash flows, direct deposits, and data from QuickBooks. While social media data raises some reliability concerns, blended models using business-specific metrics in addition to personal credit scores have become an industry standard. As large banks and credit card companies obtain more of this alternative data, they are beginning to incorporate it into their own predictive models, which may change the small business lending landscape. Overall, the use of innovative predictive approaches
Can big data reinvent the credit score?Aneel Mitra
This document discusses the use of data and predictive modeling to improve small business lending. Currently, community banks rely on personal relationships to assess loan applications, while larger banks rely more on credit scores, which are limited. New fintech lenders are using alternative data sources like cash flows, business financials from QuickBooks, and social media to build more accurate predictive models of creditworthiness. These new models show promise but also risks, and blended models using multiple data sources remain standard. As large banks also gain access to more robust data sources, predictive modeling could transform small business lending by better assessing risk.
Can big data reinvent the credit score?Aneel Mitra
This document discusses how new entrants in small business lending are using innovative predictive models and alternative data sources like cash flows, direct deposits, and social media to more accurately assess credit risk for small businesses. These models go beyond traditional reliance on personal credit scores by incorporating additional business-specific metrics. While still early, these new approaches show promise in expanding access to credit. Large banks are taking note and beginning to incorporate similar alternative data and modeling techniques. If successful, these changes could significantly improve small business lending.
How to help your team overcome their doubts.Aneel Mitra
The document discusses how planner's remorse, a sense of regret after committing to a plan, can undermine implementation if it causes teams to second guess decisions, but that additional discussions after the plan is made can increase commitment by forcing teams to defend the decision and fostering grit to achieve goals. It recommends holding "post-planning planning sessions" shortly before execution to provide an adrenaline shot of commitment while minimizing risks of irrational escalation of commitment.

Are your co workers killing your productivityAneel Mitra
A study found that coworkers negatively impact productivity in three key ways: 1) 50% of respondents said coworkers' performance directly affected their own performance, 2) 48% were frustrated by coworkers missing deadlines, and 3) 75% had to wait on coworkers to complete tasks. When coworkers are unproductive and miss deadlines, it decreases individual motivation and productivity. The study suggests using project management software to improve communication, collaboration, and hold coworkers accountable to increase productivity.

New team leaders should focus first on building relationships within the team and establishing clear norms, goals, and expectations. Leaders should get to know team members, explain their values and vision, make processes and expectations clear, set or clarify goals with input, and over-communicate in the early days. Case studies demonstrate how over-communicating norms and processes helped address issues on one team, while off-site team building and continued social connections benefited another virtual team.
Trust databases to manage the complexity you can'tAneel Mitra
1) Combining disparate datasets through predictive analytics allows organizations to better understand complex systems and the interrelationships between different parts.
2) New York City used predictive analytics to connect reductions in tree pruning budgets to increases in costly injury claims from falling trees, revealing an unexpected relationship.
3) Leveraging multiple connected databases provides a systemic view of challenges and opportunities for strategic action.

This document discusses the gap that often exists between a company's strategy and its sales execution. It notes that while companies spend heavily on developing strategies, less than half of employees understand the strategy and less than 10% of customers do. Similarly, sales teams tend to focus on short-term metrics and operational issues rather than aligning their activities with the company's strategic goals. As a result, most companies fail to fully execute their strategies, delivering only 50-60% of the promised financial performance. The document examines why this gap exists and its negative consequences if not addressed.

This document discusses the disconnect that often exists between corporate strategy and sales execution. It provides examples of how strategy is often formulated with little consideration of how it will be implemented through customer interactions. Meanwhile, sales teams tend to focus narrowly on internal metrics and operational issues rather than how their work aligns with strategic objectives. The document argues that addressing this gap between strategy and sales is critical for companies to realize the full potential of their strategies and improve financial performance.
10 alternatives to heavy handed cloud app controlAneel Mitra
The document discusses an approach called "Allow is the New Block" taken by Netskope to enable cloud applications while still protecting enterprises. It advocates evaluating app risk, monitoring usage, and blocking risky activities rather than entire apps. Ten examples are given of Netskope customers taking nuanced approaches like having conversations with users, providing alternatives, and using specific policies based on user, location, and other attributes rather than outright bans. The goal is to balance security, compliance, and business needs through contextual understanding of cloud application usage.

3 things to Remember
3. Introduction
Cold calling: If you think it’s the
hardest job in the world, maybe
you’re doing it wrong.
Let’s face it, most sales people
dread making the cold call.
Who wouldn’t? Essentially,
you’re interrupting someone’s
day to get something you
need out of them—
information, a meeting,
a new sale, you name it.
But picking up the phone
is not only one of the best
ways to connect with
customers, it’s one of the best
prospecting tools you can
have in your arsenal. It’s
the way to take the lead.
And succeed.

4. ORGANIZE
AROUND SKILL
Identifying roles by skill
sets has also allowed
salesforce.com to create the
right incentives to deliver the
best results. So people who
qualify leads are rewarded
on volume whereas closers
and account executives are
rewarded on total dollars
sold. Meanwhile, the team
in charge of prospecting,
business development reps,
are rewarded on the pipeline
generated (total dollar value
of sales opportunities).
In baseball, there are starting
pitchers and closing pitchers.
They have very different roles
on the team based on what
they do best, all focused on
winning as a team.
Your sales team is no
different. To create new
opportunities and sales
pipeline, understanding
everyone’s skills is essential
to playing the right people,
at the right time.
At salesforce.com, sales
managers identified four
essential areas to success:
in-bound lead qualification,
out-bound prospecting,
closing, and account
management.
SKILLS—WHAT TO LOOK FOR
LEAD QUALIFICATION
Listening, gregarious, curious
PROSPECTING
Improvisation, curious, listening
CLOSERS
Negotiation, competitive, visionary

5. KNOW
THY TARGET
Selling to a customer shouldn’t
feel like a one-night stand.
It should feel more like a
courtship that will ultimately
lead to a long-term relationship.
Though most sales people
know this, many still make
cold calls without enough
preparation to turn even a
short conversation into
something more.
for these with insights into
title, company hierarchy and
company overviews, you need
to go much further and deeper
for a complete picture. A good
“persona” details a prospect’s
motivations, outlines day-today job functionality, mentality,
and most importantly, their
biggest business pains.
Working out these things
before you call will shape
everything that happens
after the first “Hello”, putting
you on much better footing to
develop a selling relationship.
The best prospecting teams
work with marketing and
product teams to build
extensive “personas” to discover

6. SHOW ‘EM
YOU KNOW ‘EM
Ever gotten a call that starts:
“I’m just calling to touch
base”? What’s the reaction
you have? You immediately
dismiss the person as a
“fisherman” or someone
trolling for a conversation
that might lead to a sale.
prospect can help you
learn more and develop a
vision about how you can
help them. Research their
company’s current marketing
campaigns. Dig into business
news articles that might
mention them.
So how do you develop a real
reason to call that leads to
more? It’s a 2-step process to
building the background you
need to make your calls as
pointed as possible.
Step 2: Using what you know,
show them you have a vision
for their business. You can
do this by developing or
choosing a pre-existing offer
for them. Webinars, ebooks
an ROI calculator, a white
paper, or analyst report can
all make it clear that you
understand their business.
Step 1: Use a tool like
Data.com to help you
understand a prospect’s title,
while also gathering D&B
info about the company they
work at—including ideas
about how the company
is organized. Even a little

7. SECRET WEAPON:
A REFERRAL
someone you didn’t even
have on your radar. Even
better, because you’ve been
referred, your call to that
referral gives you credibility
you can’t get anywhere else.
In fact, when you connect
with someone based upon a
referral, the likelihood they
accept a meeting goes up.
Way up.
The first goal of cold calling
might be to get an in-depth
meeting, but it’s unrealistic to
think that will happen with
every call you make.
That doesn’t mean you can’t
get the next best thing out of
a call, namely, a referral.
Why? For one, it means the
door hasn’t been shut. And
two, a referral gives you a
new name to talk to, maybe
84%
of the time executives
respond positively
to referrals*
And while the scientists probably have
a fancy term for it, we just like to call it
“peer pressure.”

8. COLD CALLING
IS NOT DEAD
And while the younger
generations starting out in
sales are more apt to use
digital communications,
the buyers they are targeting
are probably a bit more
traditional and respond
faster to the phone.
The debate on whether email
is more effective than the
phone rages on. On one side,
pundits claim email gives you
scale and speed you can’t
achieve with the phone.
But the managers at
salesforce.com all insist
the phone is best. And the
reasons are simple. First, an
answered phone call quickly
puts you onto the path of
qualification so you waste
less time on a prospect that
goes nowhere. Second,
emails are easy to ignore, and
sometimes never even seen
due to filters.
Getting someone to
answer the phone
Making calls can be tough.
However, there are a few things
you can do to increase your
chances for success:

9. BETTER tools
= Better PERFORMANCE
One key to boost sales
performance is leveraging
the right suite of tools to
both increase individual
sales rep effectiveness and
improve collaborative team

Salesforce tools such as Sales
Cloud for CRM, Data.com for

10. Measure
THEn measuRE again
Think about anything
you ever cared about
getting better at: running,
losing weight, or how
much you make. Those
are all measurable. It’s no
different when it comes
to prospecting. Only with
knowledge can you adjust
and improve.
Here are some key things to
consider measuring:
• How many calls you make?
• What time of day
works best?
• How many quality
discussions do you have
(not with gatekeepers)?
• How many referrals do
you get?
• How many meetings
do you set up?
Here’s a simple formula
that can also help
track your progress
and effectiveness
month over month:
MEETINGS BOOKED
+ REFERRALS
made
÷ #inof callsperiod
a time
Once you start tracking, the key isn’t the
number itself but focusing on how you
can make the number better

things
to remember
Prospecting is hard, but don’t make it harder than it has to be. Keep things in perspective
with these 3 points:
Keep Moving
Leads are perishable.
Take fast action on new
ones and keep your foot
on the pedal.
Don’t take it
personally when
they say no
or hang up
It’s a numbers game; you
have to keep plugging.
Use marketing
