Domo

From an early age, I’ve been comfortable being the youngest person in a conversation.

One View of the Truth

Domo

Last week at the Eloqua Experience conference, I was shocked at the stats confronting businesses. Two-thirds of CMOs believe marketing ROI will be their top effectiveness measurement by 2015. Effective use of sales intelligence increases revenue productivity per sales rep by 17%. 90% of the data in the world today was created in the last two years.

Domo

Growing up, I believed you were defined by a cortex. My dad, they’d say, is as left-brained as they come. And who could argue? He made a living turning zeros and ones into functional software, and once rebuilt a 1960 Porsche Roadster—ground up, from engine to electrical—using a single technical manual. My mom? She couldn’t calculate her way out of a 5th grade math book—but man was she creative.

Is Your Sales Pipeline Clogged?

Domo

One of my mentors in sales used to keep a plunger on his office desk. Scribed into the side of that plunger were the words “Got a clogged pipeline?” As we approached the end of a quarter, he was often seen pacing his office with that plunger in his hands as he contemplated the deals that made up his end of quarter number. This plunger served to remind him to analyze all the deals that made up his global sales forecast… Every sales organization faces this problem.
