Ever been tired of investing in the latest tech tool only to see that it has no effect on your sales ? It's time to focus on how these technologies are being used to drive success. CRM ( Customer relational management ) systems are more than just a technique to organise data - they can be effective sales tool which can help you close more deals. 

By using the CRM tools effectively you get to comprehend why a prospect should buy from you and what will happen if they don't. This information is crucial for tailoring your pitch and following up effectively. And as a salesperson, living and breathing in a CRM is essential for success. 

However, it goes beyond the sales team. A common understanding of the client and a common language inside your organization can only be achieved with strong leadership. With that you can build a customer centric approach by inspecting what you expect and leverage that data to drive your sales forward which will enable your team to succeed. 

It is essential to understand that time is being wasted while having pipeline meetings or conversations that are based on assumptions. So don't just buy tech tools and hope for the best. Its not about more information, its about the right information and leveraging it in a way to advance the sales process which is customer buyer problem centric and enable leadership to coach and develop people back to that common customer buyer-centric language.

When a Brand Understands Your Heart, Not Just Your Wallet

Chewy is a powerful example of how a company can turn customer experience into an emotional connection that builds lifelong loyalty. They don't just sell pet food; they become a trusted partner in the journey of pet ownership. When you sign up for Chewy, your dog’s food is delivered automatically each month.                                                                 But when the heartbreaking day comes and a beloved dog passes away, cancelling that subscription is often the last thing on an owner's mind. When you finally do reach out, Chewy not only refunds the last shipment, because health codes prevent returns, but thoughtfully encourages you to donate the food to another pet in need. A few days later, without being asked, they send you flowers and a condolence card. A small act, costing maybe $...

What is “The Region-Beta Paradox“?

So I recently heard about the idea of the region-beta paradox, although a notion it’s a concept that can have significant implications for our lives.  Basically, the beta paradox suggests that sometimes worse situations can actually be better than better situations because they can give people the drive and inspiration to make changes for the better.  To demonstrate this concept, take the example of traveling a mile. If you were to walk a mile, it might take you a certain amount of time. But if you were to walk more than a mile you might choose to drive instead. Paradoxically, you might actually reach your destination faster by traveling two miles than you would by traveling one mile.

Taking a Professional Break to Explore the World of Art: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Creativity

I remember as a kid, my mom and dad used to ask me if I wanted to learn classical singing or anything creative, and I always used to have a one-word answer which was a straight NO. I never thought that I would love art so blindly until 2020 when Covid hit and it just took a 360-degree turn in my life. I was never exposed to art that much until I moved to Bangalore, where I stayed with my dad's brother. My dad loved art, but I never had the patience to watch any art form with him. I always used to beg him to leave when a program started, and not being able to be patient enough to sit for 10 minutes to watch a 3-hour Kathakali program is where I am today. It had a deep impact on me, and I felt like it had the key to my other side of the world, which I have never explored. I used to see my sister dance every day, and I used to hate it. The hate slowly started turning into something that I really enjoy, and being curious I wanted to know more about its history and what it meant to be. ...
