The power of connection, why you need to invest in yourself and get a network In his book "Tipping Point", Malcolm Gladwell, tells the story of the 1773 Boston Tea Party It was this that was the tipping point for anger from the American colonists against their British rulers There were lots of anti-British groups, but nothing to bring them together But it was Paul Revere who would often ride out and meet with these groups On the 18th April 1775, a stable boy overheard a plan from the British that there were going to wipe out descent So who did the stable boy go for help? Paul Revere. He was the one with the network It was Paul Revere who rode out to the different groups and told them to be ready History books also talk about William Dawes, William was also told about the British, but he didn't have the network so wasn't able to mobilise the people that Paul Revere was Malcolm calls Paul Revere a connector, whereas William Dawes was not Malcolm also goes onto explain the power of having a network, being a connector Why should you be in a network? 1. First and foremost, humans like to work in networks, committees, communities, unions, you name it we found out that when we were walking the serengeti that when we worked together, we survived 2. We've seen in the latest data on social media, that people under 30 now use social media to search than they do Google The way search works on LinkedIn, is it's based on people close to you If you want to be found by buyers on Linkedin, they need to be in your network. Which means you need to be connected to them 3. There is a certain amount of "connection snobbery" on LinkedIn, people are more likely to connect to you if you have (many) common connections I connected to a total stranger in a target account the other day and they came back and said, "wow we know 150 people in common" 4. Leading on from 3., if you want to connect with senior people, they are going to check how many people in common you have, this is validation as to how "trust worthy you are" 5. By having a network, you are more likely to have serendipity The wikipedia definition of this is "is an unplanned fortunate discovery" One of our clients has just put a $0.5 Billion (that's billion not million) deal in their pipeline Totally understand that this deal was through serendipity But like a lottery, you have to "be in it to win it" If they hadn't built their network as we taught them, they would have not won the lottery. #socialselling #sales #salesleadership #marketing #leadership

The secret sauce to linear sales and linear revenue model ☁ The world of SaaS and cloud has heralded a number of changes from the legacy methods of the past 🔛 One change is that the sales team must be always on 💃 Always prospecting, always closing, always contributing 📕 In the past sales people would work to a 90 day or quarterly close or a year end close 🚪 When I worked in corporate, 80% of the CRM was forecast to close in the last month of the financial year. 8️⃣ Even back 8 years ago, we were asking the leadership to switch us to monthly closing rather than quarterly 🏢 Why? Because the business couldn't process the number of transactions at the end of the quarter 👩🏫 And the sales people were educating the prospects and customers that if they purchased at the end of the quarter or year, they would get a better “deal”. 💵 This had a massive impact on margins. We knew that by just stopping end of quarter deals we would have a massive uplift in revenue 👩⚖️ This is the need for what is called linear sales or linear revenue 💡 How do you create a prospecting culture that is always on? 🏗 How do you build a digital bridge between salespeople and buyers, that is always on?
