When it comes to sales deals, there's always a variety of moving parts such as deal tracking, prioritization, organization, analysis, and more. On top of that, sales reps work on more than one deal at once and speak to different people with unique needs across each of those deals. This is where deal management comes into play — the process by which you can simplify and organize different aspects of your sales deals to improve efficiency, performance, and conversions.

Giving Concessions is Not Negotiating Master negotiators make sure their counterpart walks away from the table feeling like a winner. And they do so with a minimum of concessions. Yet, the paradox is that sellers who give away huge concessions easily, will end up with an unhappy prospect who harbors some vague, inexplicable sense that he’s been cheated.

“Oh, your email ended up in my spam folder” is what email marketers and salespeople hear in their nightmares. Emails only suffer from deliverability issues for a few reasons and all of them are bad. If your emails are ending up in your recipients’ spam folders it means that your sales and marketing are having no impact. And if no one sees your emails, it’s just a (short) matter of time before your pipeline starts to feel it.

Exemplary sales managers don't just pop up out of nowhere. And very few — if any — reps can assume a management role and thrive, based strictly on intuition. No, it takes thorough, thoughtful training to get there, and that process is rarely self-explanatory. Even the most effective sales leader might struggle to turn a rep who seems like "management material" into a successful manager.

An organization's success is the sum of all its departments' efforts.

Every aspect of your business has to be firing on all cylinders if your company is going to realize its full potential — and organizational silos represent one of the biggest obstacles to generating and sustaining that kind of efficiency.
