Todd Caponi on Why In Sales, the Second-Best Thing to Winning Is Losing Quickly

Sales leaders oftentimes prioritize the volume, or quantity, of leads over their quality. They figure that more leads equal more qualified prospects, and more qualified prospects lead to more sales. It’s simple math! They measure the volume at the top of the funnel as a measure of the expected results to come out of the bottom. While the math is correct, the logic isn’t. Sales leaders and their team members know that the most important asset they have to convert to revenue is time. This means that, as a sales leader, you must lead your team to use its time wisely, to spend less time on losers, and more time finding, developing and winning the winners. To do so, leaders must persuade team members to lead with transparency; to avoid working on an unlikely deal simply because they’ve already invested time, resources, and dollars into it; and to celebrate losing quickly. Todd Caponi provides straightforward advice, examples, and best practices for any modern sales leader, new or experienced.
