2014 Sales Industry Predictions to Sell Smarter in 2014
Today’s high-velocity selling environment is constantly evolving. To make the most of the opportunity and drive revenue, sales reams must be nimble, and arm themselves with smart practices and strategies. To help sales professionals start 2014 strong and get ahead of the competition, we asked 20 sales thought-leaders and practitioners for their predictions and insights on how to sell smarter in the year ahead. We hope you find some key strategies that will transform your 2014 sales efforts!
Marketing and selling sample
This document discusses how businesses can uncover $10,000-$1,000,000 in new sales within 60-90 days through optimized marketing. It notes that 60% of businesses fail within 6 years due to not understanding their market or being undercapitalized. The document recommends asset marketing, systematizing processes, and leveraging relationships to grow via more prospects, higher conversion rates, increased customer value, and larger transactions. Case studies show a retail store increasing sales by $250,000 for a $2,000 investment, and a professional increasing sales by $62,500 for a $3,000 investment through these optimized multi-pillar marketing approaches.
Account-based marketing FAQ
Account-based marketing (ABM) is a strategy that develops customized marketing plans and value propositions tailored specifically to support the goals of individual large accounts. It utilizes existing marketing materials but personalizes them for each account by identifying what is most valuable to that customer. ABM is most useful for transitioning customers, increasing footprint within accounts, and blocking competition. It requires buy-in from senior executives, ownership from account directors, and a willingness to invest in truly understanding each customer account. While an in-house approach can work, outsourcing to an agency brings impartiality and experience to ensure the approach is taken seriously and customers feel valued.

The document summarizes the findings of a study on the migration trend from field sales to inside sales. Key findings include:
- 46% of participants reported a shift from field to inside sales models over the past two years.
- A company's sales organization stage, product complexity, and the sales leader's perceptions determine whether a field or inside sales model is utilized.
- Top challenges vary by sales organization stage, from coverage and critical mass for new organizations to productivity and specialization for more mature ones.

Why Timing is a Critical Factor in B2B Marketing Success
Earlier this year, Bill Gross, founder of Idealab, spoke at TED on the topic of top factors in startup success. Since Mr. Gross has founded and funded many successful ventures, his advice is worth listening to. After studying 200 startup companies (both successful and not) it was determined that, of the five most important factors, timing was the most critical to the eventual success of the venture. You can watch the TED video for more details, but a summary of the data is shown in the chart below. By the way, I find it interesting that so many entrepreneurs are obsessed by the funding issue, or with starting with right team or business model, while in fact; it turns out to be the least important of the five factors.
Just as with startup success, timing is a critical factor in marketing, and sometimes the overarching issue. As an example, we occasionally get asked to rescue a company whose market share and revenues are dropping. While we are happy to work in this scenario, unless the product is sold online and the sales cycle is short, marketing alone is not an effective short-term fix. The situation may need to be stabilized through aggressive sales techniques or cost-cutting measures starting now – with marketing used as the key factor in ensuring medium and long-term success. In such a case, the timing can work against you on the marketing side.

[DIY] How to price your SaaS product
SaaS (Software as a Service) has singlehandedly emerged as the single largest disruption in business model in the last decade. SaaS companies suddenly made available enterprise quality technology to people (and businesses) across the world.

Marketing Technology for the Rest of Us: Run Marketing So You Can Do More Mar...
This document discusses how marketers now need to both "do marketing" by creating engaging customer experiences, and "run marketing" by managing budgets, analytics, and optimization. It has become difficult for marketers to do both due to the large number of marketing technologies available and their focus on either front-end customer experiences or back-end operations. The document advocates for a marketing performance management solution that can help different teams within marketing, like CMOs, operations, field marketing and finance, to better "run marketing" by gaining insights, aligning plans, and improving visibility into spending so they can spend more time and money on effective customer-facing marketing.
