What B2B Sales Prospects Want To See From Your Website
It's 2019, but lots of small businesses are still struggling to understand how to use their websites for inbound lead generation
"There are too many websites, especially in B2B marketing, that are too vague, poorly written, badly designed, thoughtlessly conceived, or all of the above. Your website should be a sales-generating machine. You're not going to convert every visitor to your website into a paying customer, of course, but your website should be so well designed and well written that it makes it easy for every potential customer to buy from you, and it should increase the odds of converting every prospect visiting the site. The question you should ask as you walk through the customer's journey through your website: 'is this page/landing page/pop-up window/website feature making it harder or easier to convert people into customers?'
Here are a few tips for how to re-think your website to make it more sales-focused, based on the most important elements that your prospects want to see..."

Based on your observations of the world, would you say that a pipeline and funnel are shaped the same
"Your answer would hopefully be 'no,' but in the sales world, the terms 'sales pipeline' and 'sales funnel' are often -
and inaccurately - used interchangeably. The difference is clear - one is designed to direct sales reps through the sales process, and the other is used to guide customers towards making a purchase.
To help you better understand these terms and how you can apply them in your own company, let's review the definition of each, along with each type's benefits, stages, and relevant metrics..."

Acknowledge Selling Mistakes ... Don't Panic!
No one likes to make mistakes. What's to like? At best, they get you off track . at worst, they lose you the sale
"Mistakes run the gamut, from corporate issues, like defective products or billing issues, to mistakes generated by the salesperson themselves, like sharing faulty information or missing a key player involved in making the buying decision.

The Most Powerful Tool You Have Is Self-Belief
"my phone rang on my drive home from my Miami office..."
"It was 365 days ago when my phone rang on my drive home from my Miami office.
It was a two hour drive home on a Friday and I was looking forward to the weekend.

My job duties were shifting to focus more in one area and going to take me farther away from what I loved most in my role which was leadership and developing others.
My heart sunk. I felt numb..."
