Episode 30: How's This Look On Mobile?
​​Want to write sales emails like a pro? Kristina and Will look at common email mistakes (using real examples) and rewrite them so that you can learn what to do differently.
Join Kristina Finseth (Sr. Manager, Outbound Growth Marketing at Greenhouse) and Will Allred (Co-Founder & COO at Lavender) to get TWO perspectives and TWO approaches on real sales emails, every week on Sales Hacker.

Will is flying solo today because Kristina caught COVID-19 but is well enough (thankfully!) that she's able to submit her rewrite. Lets look at this week's email and get insights on why emails that don't look good on mobile and that starts with a question mark don't perform well. Watch the re-write, and check out the before and after emails below!

5 Key Strategies For Building A Team Of Unicorn Sellers
'Sellers are made, not born.' There's no doubt this is a phrase you've heard at least a time or two. It's based on an outdated way of thinking that selling is an art - perfected only by a select few.
Revenue leaders who accept this notion often cross their fingers during the hiring process, hoping they're lucky enough to find the rare 'unicorn seller' with those innate, unteachable skills that translate to quota attainment.

But the 'unicorn seller' is a myth - and one that's led to a pervasive, chronic problem for sales organizations, characterized by high rep turnover and consistently missed quotas.

8 Of The Best CRM Certifications To Get In 2022
Customer relationship management (CRM) certifications are specialized, professional credentials that major CRM vendors offer a variety of professionals from sales to IT.
Earning a CRM certification demonstrates your commitment to learning about and specializing in a particular CRM software solution, making you stand out in job searches or from your boss's standpoint. Deepening your knowledge and skills for a CRM system means you will be better positioned to craft apps that meet both customer and internal stakeholder needs. It could also nudge your salary to the higher end of the spectrum. A Microsoft Dynamics CRM developer, for instance, earns between $88,000 and $132,000 USD on average.

Scroll down to see our top picks for CRM certification that are likely to take you further in your career whether you're a new or seasoned developer.

Best CRM Features And Why They Are Important
Customer relationship management (CRM) software helps businesses develop and maintain working relationships with their customers
CRM is interconnected to all departments in a business, and the software provides easy access to real-time customer data for sales, marketing, and customer service teams. This software helps a business retain customers, increase sales, and provide detailed analysis of customer trends.

When shopping for CRM software, it's important to know that not all solutions are created the same. CRM solutions come with several beneficial features, but the features that provide a competitive edge for businesses are key differentiators. Understanding the benefits of these features will help you narrow down your options to the best solutions for your organization.

The Top Five Myths About CRM Integration Debunked
Customer relationship management (CRM) software has been helping companies manage, monitor, and improve the customer experience since the mid-1990s.
It is a proven business asset that is becoming a necessity as changes in consumer behavior and expectations have accelerated the need for companies to provide a seamless customer experience.

This surge in demand-coupled with sophisticated technological advances such as artificial intelligence, connected devices, and cloud-based functionality-has analysts predicting the global CRM market will grow from $57.83 billion in 2021 to a whopping $145.79 billion in 2029.

Even so, some companies remain hesitant to implement a CRM solution. Whether this reluctance stems from a lack of information, an unwillingness to change, or some other reason altogether, these businesses continue to miss out on the many benefits driven by an effective CRM platform.

Top 6 CRM Software Solutions In 2022
Customer relationship management (CRM) software is a critical component of any sales or marketing team's lead generation, nurturing, and converting strategies.
It automates tedious processes, like creating groups of leads to email, which removes some of the manual work from marketers. CRM software also allows teams to design their own workflows, customized for their team's operations. It helps them to store and view information that would otherwise be scattered between programs and papers. A navigable CRM platform with plenty of features for any customer-facing teams should be a priority for all businesses.
