"The world of email encryption has changed significantly in the past few years. The leading tools are evolving, each in their own way:

• HPE/Voltage SecureMail is now part of Micro Focus, part of an acquisition of other HPE software products
• Virtru Pro has extended its product with new features and integrations
• Inky no longer focuses on an endpoint encryption client and has instead moved into anti-phishing
• Zix Gateway rebranded and widened its offerings
• Symantec Email Security.cloud has added integrations

Before I get into the details of these tools, let's look at several trends in the email encryption arena..."

"SaaS businesses are crying for strategies to boost revenues as they target increased lead generation and higher business growth.

Exactly what do we imply when we mention leads? By leads, we refer to web users that present themselves as potential customers. Such people profess an interest in your product or company. And they share contact information so you can respond to specific queries or provide information. Leads are usually followed up by the marketing and sales wings to engage users with customized content marketing programs..."

"It seems like every time you go on LinkedIn, there's another person calling out some sort of disruptive cold outreach attempt.

And the stats back this up. Studies have shown that 80% of cold calls are sent to voicemail and that just 5% of sellers find success with bulk outbound email

Does this mean that salespeople should just pack things up and stop prospecting? Of course not. But we do need to give sales the data necessary to flip the script on disruptive prospecting techniques..."

"So are the people running them.

One study shows that out of the over 600 million people using this platform, 90 million of them hold a senior-level position with another 63 million listed as key decision-makers. Of these, 76% check their LinkedIn accounts and engage with content published here every day.

Additionally, 60% of people with an annual household income of at least 100,000 US dollars can be found on LinkedIn..."

"Their Strategic Selling methodology is particularly effective in complex B2B sales environments with large decision-making groups and often lengthy and convoluted buying decision journeys. It helps salespeople to break down complex situations into manageable components, and to focus on developing mutually beneficial relationships with their clients.

It would take more than a short article to do full justice to the methodology - so I'm going to selectively highlight a few of the concepts that have proven to be particularly useful over the years. Many of them - although they might have appeared to be revolutionary when first introduced - have become now recognized as mainstream thinking..."

"It's been reported that 85% of job success is due to well-developed soft and people skills, with technical skills and knowledge only accounting for 15% of work success (per research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center).

And, the most critical component is to have strong and lasting relationships..."

"That very next day, December 16, 2017, the scary part of my choice came into view, my decision meant that I was transitioning out of the comforts that most of us come to rely on in life. In short, it was "goodbye" to my steady paycheck, a stable career spanning twenty-one years, health benefits, and numerous other attributes that I had become accustomed to enjoying throughout my career..."

"Because salespeople have different needs and requirements than someone on a fixed salary with a static job description.

Some of the most important aspects of leadership are:

a) Coaching. Coaching is always teaching, rarely telling. Teaching is helping subordinates self-realize the answer on their own and not always blurting out the answer for them...."

"We loved how Julie and her team pulled the spotlight off the stage and pulled it back on all of our executives in this highly interactive session. We ended up with many mentor matches and people exchanging cards to meet again." - Client
