"Not only does successful account management help you retain customers better, it should also result in new sales opportunities.

Here are the ins and outs of account management, along with ten unstoppable strategies you can use to serve your customers better while increasing your revenue at the same time..."

"One of the sales people asked, 'How do we learn their buying process?'

Some readers may think, 'Isn't this obvious?' After all, classically, we know we have to do discovery, what are their needs and requirements, who's involved, what is their decision-making process, what alternatives are the considering..

It's all sales 101, so why do we struggle so much in understanding the customer buying process..."

This is a group for IT Sales and Marketing Professionals to meet with their peers, learn from each other and share referrals.

"It's probably no surprise that our work mode preference is impacted by our personality. Some of us enjoy structured and group work environments while others prefer a quieter and perhaps even isolated environment.

The Myers-Briggs Company has a tool: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) that assesses preferences and breaks them into 16 categories. Are you familiar with MBTI and do you know your type? What about the types for your colleagues/direct reports?..."
