153. Gabe Lullo – Strategies for Sourcing New, Qualified Lead

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Fergal Glynn, “A bad habit appearing at many companies is to put reps in the unenviable position of trying to hit their quota by feverishly working through as many opportunities as they can. But this isn’t necessarily the ideal solution. Data-driven sales teams are finding that it is usually more effective to spend more time on qualification earlier in a sales cycle in an effort to only deliver the best opportunities to highly paid account executives.” I know this quote is lengthy, but the message is clear. I have been teaching many Business Development classes for my various clients.

When I say that Business Development is 90% preparation, they all laugh.  By the end of the course, the light bulbs go off.  Planning and strategizing before you even begin outreach is paramount to saving time, money, and effort for every salesperson, team, or business owner.

We think it’s a waste of time.  For 40 years, I have strategized, reviewed, and self-evaluated my skill development and planned every sales call before speaking with a prospect or client.  It works!
