In today’s world, the intersection of sales and marketing is in a constant state of digital disruption. To adapt, strategic leaders use technology to automate the customer journey and augment the remaining human interactions. This automation and augmentation of the customer/sales interaction creates an existential opportunity for Inside Sales Professionals, from frontline representatives to executive leadership. This presentation will identify the digital disruption, describe the trends that are emerging, and discuss how to best develop a strategy to efficiently generate revenue moving forward.

Sales Development has become a standard, but are we getting the math right when applying it to Account Based Everything? Chris Beall doesn’t think so.

Whether you are an SDR, frontline manager, VP Sales, CEO or Founder, you need to know the real math before committing your career or your company to Account Based Everything. Analysis of more than two million sales conversations exposes the truth: that a weird mix of old-school and feel-good notions have us managing territories, talent and tasks in a way that makes failure more likely than success. Fortunately, the math also offers surprisingly straightforward easy-to-apply solutions to avoid disaster and find smooth sailing for Account Based Sales Development.

It has become quite fashionable to declare that “cold calling is dead”. In 2017, it’s been repeated so often that many sales professionals insist it is a proven fact.

2017 ushers in big changes for LinkedIn and its army of nearly ½ billion business users. Microsoft, LinkedIn.com, Sales Navigator, Mobile - all will play a much different role in 2017 than in the past. Revenue producers are among the most affected and those with the most to gain.

Change is being driven in the form of a “carrot”, as the Sales Navigator platform gains long awaited features, and a “stick”, as the traditional LinkedIn.com platform slims down to act more like Facebook.

Learn a new, integrated strategy for incorporating BOTH platforms in your LinkedIn routine for 2017, building on what you already know about LinkedIn and CRM systems and taking it to new heights.

How much is guessing costing you each month?

Even though the right answers to the following questions propel a sale forward and the wrong answers kill a sale - most salespeople guess at the answers.

For this prospect:
1. What is the best rapport-building strategy?
2. Which emotional drivers should I focus on throughout the sales process?
3. How detailed should I be during the presentation?
4. What is the best way to deal with objections and the best way to close?
5. What do I naturally do (that I must not do) when dealing with this person?

In this session, you will learn how to use new research on human temperament and emotions to answer each of these questions. The result is a dramatic increase in your win rate that comes from personalizing selling to the temperament and driving motivations of each prospect.

Emotional intelligence-based selling begins with knowing yourself. To get the most out of this seminar, use the following information to take the 7MTF Emotional Profile Assessment. You will be glad you did.

This session will focus on two topics: Leadership and Inspiration and how the two are connected. It will define leadership and discuss the five qualities that all great leaders possess. It will argue the point that leaders are not born but can be made. Also, the question of whether leaders motivate or inspire, will be argued.

This breakout is designed for anyone who finds themselves currently managing a group or aspires to hold a leadership position. You will walk out with a better understanding of what makes a great leader and how you can be a factor in someone else's future.

Conventional sales tactics are getting in the way of building the types of productive relationships that lead to strong bookings and sustained growth. Why? The process isn't focused on the entire buying committee, doesn't expose critical business challenges of the buyer, and doesn't encourage reps to build long-term relationships. Join LinkedIn's Andy Kellam as he discusses the pitfalls of conventional sales tactics and ways that you can leverage social selling to increase pipeline, average sales price, and make quota.

Sales is one of the most highly paid and yet one of the most disliked professions. It’s what helps you pay your bills, affords you the lifestyle you want, gives you the opportunity to work with people to find solutions to their challenges, and sadly, it’s what most people hate to do.

So WHY don’t we like to sell? Does selling make us feel…inauthentic?

Some professionals can’t even bring themselves to call selling by its proper name. They call it "business development" or even "marketing". When what they really mean is selling!

Sales is about helping people. It’s about being more empathetic. It’s about building relationships and having your clients come back again and bringing their friends. Sales professionals in every industry want to know...what is the greatest secret in sales? Everyone in business and beyond is in sales (yes, everyone).

Once you know the secret, you just may change your tune.
