Level Up Your Sales Conversations: 5 Phrases to Persuade Without Being Pushy Ever wonder if your sales language is landing the right way? These 5 examples below powerfully show how even small communication tweaks can make a real difference in expressing value. ↳  Instead of phrases like: ❌ "Let me know when you change your mind." ❌ "I'll send you some more info, so you can get back to me if you're interested" ❌ "You are missing out, if you don’t do this." ❌ "This is the best solution." ❌ "I think you should increase your budget." ↳ Try these more collaborative approaches: ✅ "Would next week work for a quick follow up?" ✅ "Would you be open to go through details in a quick call?" ✅ "Based on what we've seen with other customers, there's a significant value in [xy]. What potential downsides do you foresee?" ✅ "This solution offers [xy] benefits, which I think aligns well with your objective [y]." ✅ "We've identified some areas where a strategic budget increase could yield substantial returns.

How to turn your AEs into a winning team: - product positioning - Discovery training - Command of the message - Great CRM setup - Nice Sales deck - listen to Calls in Gong ^^ tasks split across marketing, RevOps, AE leader, enablement. How to turn your SDRs into a winning team: - map the TAM - learn a variety of decision maker titles - cold calling training - set up email infrastructure - buy and set up multiple data tools - learn copywriting for exec communication - learn about SMTP, DMARC, DKIM - run complex math to determine how many leads are needed - collaborate with marketing for MQL handoff - optimize sequence settings to prevent bottlenecks - validate CRM data to prevent bounce leads - learn LinkedIn strategy for messaging prospects - learn to leave proper voicemails - run discovery on inbound leads - build a variety of sequences - run the math on A/B testing messaging - pass proper notes to the AE - follow up with leads that ghosted the AE - handle phone objections different than email ones - test a variety of tools, and fight for budget contstantly - help SDRs career plan and understand comp plan ^^ worst of all, the SDR manager has to do 90% of this in their own! Then SDRs and SDR leaders are paid less than their AE counterparts. Then when things aren’t working the SDR team is cut while the AE team is trained. How does this make sense? Been saying it for years #SDRsMatter

Coaching your frontline sales managers can increase the entire sales team's performance by as much as 20% Some other data points: 👉🏻Companies that invest in coaching see an 788% ROI through increased productivity and employee retention. 👉🏻Reps are 21% more likely to hit quota with the right leadership. 👉🏻Revenue per seller can jump as much as 50%. Compelling, isn’t it...？ So why is it that sales management training & coaching comes so low down on the priority list when the results are so impactful? In many cases sales managers have been promoted because they were top salespeople, but the skills needed to be a high performing Individual Contributor (IC) are very different to those needed to lead a team (where you go quite literally from 'I' to caring about 'We'). Without the right training and coaching, most are left to figure out on the job - neither of which is optimal for the individual or the company. Ok, so yes, at this point there is a shameless plug for my revenue coaching services, but the results are truly special when a revenue leader with potential and talent (but still learning on the job), can fast track through effective coaching... So what does coaching with me look like: 🌟Personalised 1:1 sessions tailored to your needs 🌟Assessment of skill & knowledge gaps against a revenue leadership maturity model 🌟Clear coaching plan with tangible outcomes 🌟Access to best-in-class playbooks & frameworks (as well as practical guidance on how to execute on them).  Who's my coaching for: ✅First-time sales leaders stepping into new VP/CRO roles ✅Experienced SaaS leaders taking on new functions or geos ✅Ambitious leaders with an 'always learning' mindset ✅SaaS companies that want to increase sales performance by 20% 🎯This quarter’s offer: Book five coaching sessions and your sixth is on me. If you are interested in finding out more, please email me at [email protected] Apologies for cringy photo - it's me at my desk following a coaching call - tenuous link to the post I know :)!! #thefemalesalesleader  #softwaresales  #salesleadershipcoaching  #saas

Sales workflows are scattered across multiple tools. (And teams waste hours switching between them.) • Research happens in one place. • Prospect data lives in another. • Sequences are built somewhere else. Apollo's AI Assistant changes this completely. It's the first AI that runs your entire sales funnel in plain English. No switching tools, no setup, no prompt engineering required. I tested this with a recent outreach campaign. Instead of spending my morning jumping between platforms. I told the AI: "Find 200 SaaS companies in California with 50-200 employees and set up personalized outreach sequences." Ten minutes later, everything was live and running. Here's what it automated: ✓ Complete prospect research with enrichment ✓ Decision maker identification and contact finding ✓ Personalized sequence creation and launch ✓ Real-time performance tracking and optimization What used to waste my entire morning now happens while I grab coffee. The AI handles complete workflows, not just single tasks: ➟ Built on Apollo's market-leading B2B database ➟ Works in conversational English, no technical skills needed ➟ Shows every step and explains costs upfront ➟ Runs end-to-end processes across your entire funnel The future of GTM isn't managing more tools. It's having one AI that runs your entire revenue engine. 📌 Join Apollo’s AI Assistant waitlist: https://bit.ly/465MC5Q 🔄 Repost to help others automate their sales workflows #ColdOutreach #SalesProspecting #LeadGeneration #OutboundSales #ApolloAIAssistant #ApolloPartner #ApolloPartnership #SponsoredByApollo

Head of Growth, Head of Sales and CEOs... I have a question. Is your outbound broken? Your outbound might not be broken. But your tech stack might be killing your results. Sales teams invest thousands per year per rep on software… but most of it goes unused. Thousand of credits are wasted and won’t ever be consumed everyday Here’s why: ↳ Too many tools create friction If your SDRs need seven logins just to send an email, you’re wasting time. Streamline your workflow. Fewer, better-integrated tools > more tools. Some solutions allow reps to get better access to tech stacks like Gologin, allowing you to create and access multiple web navigator at once. ↳ Your tools don’t sync properly Your CRM says one thing, your email tool says another, and your LinkedIn tracker shows different numbers. If your tools don’t talk to each other, you’re flying blind. More webhook and API connections. ↳ Reps aren’t actually using the tools AI-powered prospecting tools sound great, but if no one trusts the data, they won’t use them. A tool is only as good as the workflow it fits into. Want a lean, effective sales stack? Drop your go-to sales tool in the comments. And if you want to learn more about sales tools and how to properly equip your Sales Team, feel free to DM me (Raouf Lemouchi) or SalesTech Scout
