概要

 I believe in doing BIG THINGS! You should be earning 6 figures easily as a sales rep. But chances are you are not...yet! Sales is the most important department in every company but many sellers are never taught how to effectively sell, much less how to earn their way to high-income status. My own career limped along until a company I worked for invested in sales training to help me succeed. Immediately afterward, I closed a deal worth 4X what the company spent on me and saw hockey-stick improvement in my performance. So I started a podcast to “Evangelize” what was working. Today I interview the world's best sales experts, successful sellers, sales leaders and entrepreneurs who share their strategies to succeed in sales right now: folks like Jeffrey Gitomer, Jill Konrath, Bob Burg, and Guy Kawasaki to name a few. They share actionable insights and stories that will encourage, challenge, and motivate you to hustle your way to top income status. If you’re someone looking to take off in your sales career and earn the income you deserve, hit subscribe and let’s start doing BIG THINGS!Copyright 2025 © The Sales Evangelist Podcast マネジメント・リーダーシップ マーケティング マーケティング・セールス リーダーシップ 出世 就職活動 経済学

    Missed Quota Series: Prospecting With A Next Rather Than A Spear! | Donald C. Kelly - 1998

    40% of a seller’s time is spent on prospecting. That’s a big investment, especially when a lot of it does not lead anywhere. So how do you make sure that time actually turns into real opportunities? Let’s break down how to prospect in a way that leads to conversations and closed deals.Leverage Intent and Relevant DataA big part of prospecting comes down to timing. You want to reach out when buyers are already looking for a solution.That is where intent data comes in. Tools like ZoomInfo and 6sense can help you identify prospects who are actively researching solutions like endpoint protection.When you do reach out, make it relevant. Speak directly to their industry and back it up with a recent success story from a similar company. That is what helps build credibility early.Utilize Advanced LinkedIn SearchingInstead of reaching out to everyone, focus on a smaller group of people who are more likely to respond.You can build a list of 30 to 40 individuals by narrowing your search. Look for people who are new in their roles or who have been active on LinkedIn in the past 30 days.You can also look at who they are connected to, especially if they follow industry influencers or are part of specific associations. That gives you a stronger starting point for outreach.Systematize ReferralsReferrals are one of the most overlooked opportunities in sales.Most prospects are open to giving referrals, but very few salespeople actually ask for them. That is a missed opportunity.Start making it part of your process. When you are working with a client, ask if they know others who are dealing with similar challenges. A simple ask can open the door to warmer conversations.Target Niche Local EventsNot every opportunity comes from online outreach. Smaller, more focused events can be a great way to connect with people directly.Think industry meetups or informal gatherings where conversations happen more naturally.These settings make it easier to build relationships and lead to introductions that feel more genuine.The Fortune Is in the Follow-UpEven when you get in front of the right people, it does not mean much if you do not follow up.A large percentage of event attendees have the authority to make buying decisions, yet most leads never receive any follow-up at all.That is where the real opportunity is. Following up within 12 to 24 hours and staying consistent with your outreach can be the difference between being remembered and being forgotten.“Nine out of ten prospects are willing to give a referral, but only about 11% of salespeople actually ask.” - Donald C.

  • Missed Quota Series: They Were ONLY Selling 11 Hours Per Week! | Donald C. Kelly - 1997

    Missed Quota Series: They Were ONLY Selling 11 Hours Per Week! | Donald C. Kelly - 1997

    Salesforce found that reps spend just 11 hours per week actually selling. That means nearly 70% of their time is spent on everything else. So where is it going? Let’s break down what sellers are really doing and why it’s keeping them from hitting quota.Identifying Time-Bleeding TasksLet me show you what’s really taking up their day. A lot of it comes down to necessary work that just takes way too long. Think about the time spent digging for information before a call. That can easily turn into 45 minutes of manual research for one prospect.Then there’s building proposals and assessments. Reps are sitting there formatting documents, choosing layouts, and putting together decks when that time could be spent in front of a customer.On top of that, you’ve got CRM updates, data entry, and internal meetings that keep pulling reps away from actual selling. It all adds up fast, and before you know it, the day is gone without much time spent with buyers.Leveraging AI and Process OptimizationSo how do you fix it? It starts with getting rid of the work that does not need to be done manually.AI is making that a lot easier. Instead of spending close to an hour researching a prospect, reps can pull together key insights in just minutes. CRM updates can be automated. Meeting notes can be summarized without lifting a finger.And when it comes to proposals and documents, this is where better systems come in. Instead of starting from scratch every time, teams can use templates or even hand off parts of the process so reps can stay focused on selling.The goal here is simple. Take as much off the rep’s plate as possible so they can spend more time doing the one thing that actually drives results.Actionable Steps for Leaders and RepsIf you want to fix this, both leaders and reps have to take a hard look at how time is being used.Start by tracking it. Spend a week writing down exactly where your time goes. Prospecting, emails, research, meetings. When you see it on paper, it becomes a lot clearer where the gaps are.From there, leaders need to step in and protect selling time. That means cutting back on unnecessary meetings and making sure reps have systems that actually support them.And finally, simplify the tools. When everything is scattered across different platforms, it slows everyone down. Bringing those tools into one place makes it easier to work faster and stay organized.At the end of the day, this is about making sure your reps are spending more time in front of customers and less time stuck in the background work.“Time is ticking and time is money.” - Donald C.
