A few years ago, a client approached me asking if I could step in for a newly-hired alliance manager who was desperately needed in the business, but not yet available to make the move. The assignment was originally planned to last for just three months, however, due to unexpected changes in the new alliance manager’s availability it lasted much longer!

It’s like in the Harry Potter books, where they refer to the main antagonist as “he-who-must-not-be-named.” As if just saying Voldemort out loud would conjure his presence. No one wants to say the word recession lest they make it a reality. Instead, I’ve heard “economic headwinds” and “a really tough market” with regularity. However, not calling it a recession doesn’t mean we don’t feel the effects of tighter budgets, pressure to produce revenue and a renewed focus on profitability.

Every possibility sparked joy, but unlike Marie Kondo, nothing ever seemed to come off the wish list. So every year we had a pre-Christmas clear out. Things that had languished unloved and unattended went in a big bag to the Op Shop. For a few days I could actually see the floor in their bedrooms, until the Santa onslaught arrived.

Your buyers’ lives, preferences, and expectations have changed. Over two-thirds of buyers prefer remote or digital interactions — and they expect those interactions to be substantive and valuable. They hold sellers to a high standard, and that means the buying experiences of the past — in-person meetings, transactional conversations, and linear sales funnels — no longer deliver.

Smart cities have long been perceived as the infrastructural moat against urban population explosion and mass displacement. But as things stand today, they have a long way to go to become the solution we already think they are. The lack of community integration, industry convergence, and siloed innovations have slowed development and are solvable only through more stakeholder outreach and better data management, as well as the synergy between IoT and people’s needs.

Virtual sales success requires new ways of thinking. Sales managers, trainers, sales enablement managers, and sales reps across all industries must adjust to this digital transformation. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can transfer the old ways of doing business to the new blended selling environment.

Big bang migrations, in which all traffic is cutover to a new system when it is sufficiently close to feature-parity with the legacy system, are inherently risky and almost always delayed. Risks arise from complexity built up over time in the legacy system as well as uncertainty about how it works and how it is used. The migration process itself presents a risk due to its sheer scale.

Once marketing and sales mature, many businesses run into limitations for growing revenue dramatically. Doubling the marketing budget doesn’t double paid search or social revenue. Likewise, doubling the sales team doesn’t double sales throughput. This begs the question, “What else can drive more revenue outside sales and marketing?”. Any company with a partnerships program should consider whether it has siloed activities in its organization.

A spend analysis is an important piece of a company’s procurement puzzle. It is done with the main goal of understanding your spend better -- who are you buying products and services from? What are those products and services? Is there any overlap in what those suppliers are providing? How much money is being spent and who are we spending it with? We all know Pareto's Principle in tackling our expenditrues. but true Spend Analysis goes much deeper.
