Many organizations have been in a befuddled panic in this recessed market, but the secret to business survival and growth has not changed. The stakes for ignoring it, however, are much higher now. I gave this presentation to an invited business audience at The Russ Berrie Institute for Professional Sales at William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ, 8/4/2009.
The first in a series of sales leadership presentations. This presentation discusses the importance of a sales process and what a sales process really is.
Research and feedback has indicated that Solution Providers want to become better leaders and managers, especially as they transform into cloud and online services. Managing costs, sales effectiveness, and execution are more critical in a cloud focused practice than the traditional on premise business model. This session was crafted to support accelerated leadership within the Solution Provider community:
• Sales Manager’s guideline to optimize sales meetings
• First time sales management training tips
• How to manage your sales manager!
• Leadership vs management-know the difference
• Utilizing emotional intelligence to help guide your sales team
• What ratio managers are measuring now
• 5 ideas to increase the sales professionalism of your team

Slides from an AMG Executive Briefing that revisits "Changing Sales Force Behavior to Achieve High Performance" originally published by Accenture in September, 2003
The Recipe for Successful Sales and Marketing IntegrationMichael Reynolds
Are your sales people complaining that they need more inbound leads? Is your marketing team disappointed that your sales people are not closing more business? Or worse, are you pretending that sales and marketing are the same thing?
Marketing and Sales, while closely related, are distinct roles in your company and it's a mistake to simply lump them together.
You need a strong inbound marketing system to generate leads, and you need a strong sales team to close those leads.
So why do so many companies keep these two sides of the company in silos?
Learn how marketing and sales can work together to create a powerful system that consistently gets qualified leads through your sales process.
Learning objectives include:
* How to define Marketing's role in generating leads
* How to integrate your marketing database with your sales CRM
* How to create a continuous feedback system that improves performance
* How to follow up on inbound leads
* How to properly qualify (and disqualify) inbound leads
* How to truly set your sales people up for success
If you suspect that your marketing and sales strategies could be better aligned, this is for you.

Retaining current customers costs 6-7x less than acquiring news ones, and improving customer retention rates by a mere 5% can increase profit per customer by 25%-95%. So it makes sense that top companies focus on building relationships, increasing loyalty, and selling more to current customers as a growth strategy.

5 Steps to a Successful Sales TransformationMediafly
After executives make the commitment to invest in transformative endeavors to evolve their sales and business effectiveness, how you do you make sure these initiatives last through the years to come?
In this SlideShare by Mediafly CEO & Founder, Carson Conant, we look at the 5 behaviors that lead to a successful sales transformation within an organization.
Sales teams have the potential to do great work.

The skills related to this are critical components of effective teamwork, collaboration and innovation, both internally and externally. Innovative Team Selling places the focus squarely on what will actually make team selling work within organizations large and small. It outlines how to help your teams master new skills in five specific categories: interpersonal, communication, presentation, problem solving, and facilitation. Author Eric Baron also explores the challenging issue of leveraging resources to develop innovative solutions for clients in order to compete effectively in a globalized economy.
•Offers actionable strategies and techniques to improve collaboration, innovation and team processes
•Demonstrates how to put the right members on the sales call, and how to leverage their expertise before, during and after the call
•Explores in depth how teams can work effectively on a day-day-day basis to outperform their competition
•Author Eric Baron is founder of The Baron Group and is a highly acclaimed public speaker and has spoken to hundreds of organizations, trade associations and industry groups throughout his career; he is also an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School where he teaches his very popular course, Entrepreneurial Selling Skills to second year MBAs

Retool your Sales and Marketing Process with LeanBusiness901
Retool your Sales and Marketing Process with Lean: The tendency is to jump into EDCA (Lean Startup) and try to create a silver bullet. When “retooling”, you should delay starting “new” marketing ideas. You start with CAP-Do and categorize and develop the idea and practice of standard work. Standard Work consists of understanding the basic Lean principles, an understanding of your value proposition, how your product/services are used and the markets you serve.
This is the Lean Sales and Marketing Introduction slide deck that is part of the Business901 2-day Workshop. You can view the entire workshop under the Training Content Section on the Business901 website.
When Applying Lean to Sales and Marketing many companies try to use traditional approaches and use the typical segmentation strategy. I like to organize the Structure of Lean in sales through the path of SDCA, PDCA and EDCA.
Over the 16 years that we've been providing support to organizations at nearly every stage of the Lean journey, leadership has consistently emerged as the single most important determinant of success. Those organizations with strong leadership engagement soar, while those who don't fail to experience significant transformation.
These are the materials for Karen's third (and final) of three webinars on Lean Leadership. In this webinar, Karen reviewed the system of Lean principles, management practices, and tools, and then focuses on the role of leaders in understanding their organization's value streams, setting the strategic direction for value stream transformation, and monitoring the cycle of improvement.
