4. An average buyer gets 100+ emails a day, opens 23% and clicks on only 2%
It’s hard to break through when you’re an unknown sender. Make sure prospects are getting your messages with interesting and engaging email content, and make sure to
follow up.
The salespeople who see themselves as sales and marketing experts, build a different strategy for goal achievement. Customer/client development includes steady, continuous communication and email is just one of the formats to do that.

Part 3 of 20: HubSpot Sales Statistics…With Secret Sauce Added
Hi everyone….
This is my third in this series of posts. I am taking apart and talking about a data set that HubSpot published in 2018 on Sales Enablement Statistics. These are great bits of information for salespeople and sales managers to know in order to impact the actions they take with prospects and with selling and coaching time. Over time, I will address all 20 points. I encourage you to share how they impact YOUR actions with your team or with your prospects.

Managing a Sales Team
For sales managers and sales leaders, everywhere Although my sales process “Sell it or Schedule it” is designed for salespeople, they are not completely responsible for executing it to mastery. The inclusion of their sales manager is critical to the implementation and ownership of this process.
I just finished a 90-day sales management coaching agreement with Sherry Kollar of Furniture Warehouse Design Gallery (FWDG) in Beaufort, South Carolina. Our engagement was for HER training and …
High Impact Actions
For sales leaders, everywhere
Many retailers use statistics to measure performance and results, and there are some constants that all retailers measure: Traffic, close ratio, average sale. All are measurable, all matter, and all have specific actions to increase them.
There are retailers who add another statistic – sales per guest/dollars per opportunity/performance index. Whatever you call it, they all measure the same thing: Total revenue divided by total traffic. It is a combination of close…
A Measure of Relationship Value
For everyone, everywhere
I once had a customer who was a bit of a maverick in his marketplace and in the industry. He has since passed away, but Chuck Forcey was a character. When he was in the military, he flew planes and was on an elite fighter team…and he brought his irreverent ways with him.
Fortunately, he had a commander who was tougher and more focused than Chuck was and while he respected and appreciated what Chuck brought to the team, he refused to let the team be defined by one of its me…

What do we really think about “Just Browsers”?
For showroom sales professionals, everywhere
In a recent coaching call I was startled by the simple articulation of how one of the salespeople/designers viewed people who say that they are “Just browsing” and those people she’s been unable to connect with: “I think they are killing time and wasting mine.” Wow. I asked her to explain more about this…and it was more about her perspective, which unknown to her, was furthering her inability to connect with
incoming customers.
Consider this: what do y…

Ask Commitment Questions
For sales professionals, everywhere.
In keeping with the lifelong practice of asking questions is my lifelong practice of talking about them. Imagine a conversation where YOU really drive the exchange by completing EVERY response you have with a question. Think about it. Even if you answer a question posed by the other person, you keep the volley going with a question of your own. You: “Lobster is my favorite food…what’s yours?”
One of the more challenging types of questions is Commitment Que…
Customer Service Cancellations
For everyone, everywhere
As you might be doing at the start of the new year, I am scouring my expenses looking at what is nice versus necessary and can be cut. As an avid reader, my news subscriptions 
started to add up and I considered how much I read of each publication and I decided to cancel my digital subscriptions to both The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. The latter could be done via their website and it was a simple process to execute, followed by a confirming email from …
