Four of the most common terms you will hear anywhere in sales are prospect, lead, contact, and opportunity. Sometimes they are used interchangeably, but each has their own distinct meaning that directly refers to the sales process. So what exactly is a lead, a prospect, contact, and an opportunity?

The onboarding of sales development representatives (SDRs) is one of the most challenging, and sometimes underserviced parts of a business. Sales development roles are commonly treated as entry-level positions. SDRs are given as little as a week of onboarding, and are expected to get by with on-the-job learning.

After all, the last thing you want is to have your SDRs spending their valuable time chasing unqualified prospects. Therefore, it’s paramount that SDRs have a clear understanding of the types of […]
How much time are your sales reps wasting preparing for calls? According to a new CSO Insights study, sales reps are spending 20% of their time researching prospects themselves. That’s a full workday each week, and 52 days-per-year. While sales research isn’t exactly a waste of time, one fact remains: every moment that reps spend […]
It’s common to use service level agreements (SLAs) in customer contracts or vendor relationships to clearly define the obligations of involved parties. SLAs can also be powerful internally as well, especially in a sales team. SLAs serve two purposes. The first is to define roles within the areas of overlap between different reps. Many teams […]
Scaling, or the stage that follows an organization’s growth phase, is especially challenging for a sales team. At this point of growth, significant executive attention and pressure is placed on new revenue growth.
