What’s keeping you or your sales team from having your best B2B sales quarter and year ever? It all comes down to motivation. If your salespeople aren’t motivated, they’re not going to pick up the phone, which leads to conversations, sales, and revenue.
Note, they’re not going to get a “yes” on every phone call and sometimes on any call on a given day, unless your company sells something unique that every person on the planet needs (and if you are, you don’t need this blog, but you could probably use a new dialing solution to make even more calls…)

Yes, hearing “no” over and over can be disheartening and cause even the most seasoned salesperson to be less motivated to pick up the phone and make another sales call.
Everyone gets rejected. Everyone gets a no. Everyone has failed.
But here’s what you and your sales team need to remember: The ones who succeed have failed (sometimes in epic ways), but they take those failures and use them as prompts to keep going instead of hiding away from the world.
Read our blog “20 Remarkable Motivational Sales Tips for Your Team” to learn even more ways to keep your sales team motivated and efficient.
