The best salespeople? They're hungry to LEARN. Every day. 🚨 The problem? 🚨 We set arbitrary 90 day ramp periods. And this is costing you top performers. They may just take longer to ramp. Check out the data from our latest report 📌 Sales Enablement Landscape Report 2024 61% of sales teams struggle to generate pipeline Complex sales cycles are getting longer 👀 And even enablement teams? 35% feel understaffed. That means less 1:1 time for every rep. So... When you find salespeople who are hungry? Excited and willing to learn? Don't give up on them. Because they didn't hit at 90 days. INVEST. INVEST. INVEST 💪 You'll be surprised when they overdeliver for you. Because you can teach skills. You can't teach will. Will wins in sales. ✌️ -- h/t Alex Alleyne for the great reminder!

Just because a lead fits in your CRM… doesn’t mean it fits your product. 😬 This is what happens when SDRs pass unqualified leads to AEs: 🔻 Wasted discovery calls 🔻 Low close rates 🔻 Frustrated teams Don’t force-fit leads into your pipeline. Before passing a lead to AE, ask yourself: - Does this lead match the ICP? - Have they shown buying intent? - Are they aware of their problem and your solution? ✅ Use clear qualification criteria (BANT, MEDDIC, etc.) ✅ Confirm pain, budget, and timeline ✅ Don’t confuse curiosity with buying intent A qualified lead isn't just someone who replied. It’s someone who’s ready to talk business. A good SDR doesn’t just fill the pipeline They protect it Stop stuffing boxes. Start qualifying better. 👉🏻 Follow Tom Boston for more such amazing content 👉 Follow Sales Tips for no-fluff sales tips.

"But they said they have the budget and their manager wanted them to get pricing" 🥺 Stop begging your AE to flip your meetings. Use AI Prospector to find more qualified prospects with intent and buying signals. Then automate account research and personalized outreach 😎 What was the biggest favor you've ever asked your AE for?

In most B2B orgs today, the real challenge isn’t effort or headcount, it's focus.  • SDRs spend hours chasing leads that aren't in-market  • Personalization often defaults to "Hi {First Name}"  • Sales cycles are longer than ever, while buyer engagement is happening behind closed tabs 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁? Wasted touches, burned budget, and pipelines that look full… until the quarter closes. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘁: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗗𝗥 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁? This is where intent data becomes a revenue lever, not just another tool.

Predictable pipeline. Faster velocity. Higher ROI. No more guessing games. No more wasted touches. As marketers, we don’t need "more leads."We need better intelligence to drive a meaningful pipeline.
