If you were to observe a top-performing sales rep, you’d find they have pretty consistent behaviors and habits daily, weekly, and monthly. If only you could duplicate these behaviors and habits across your entire sales team, you’d be in good shape, but how?

Turns out there is a formulaic process that top performing sales reps and the fastest growing sales teams leverage to achieve and sustain growth. In this session, you’ll hear from Velocify’s director of research and analytics, Jorge Jeffery, who will draw on the company’s unrivaled access to billions of data points together with rigorous research methods. Jorge will reveal the top seven habits of highly effective inside salespeople, all backed by the most significant statistics from his years of sales research.

In this fast-paced workshop, Dionne Mischler, Founder of Inside Sales by Design, will cover five key areas:

- Aligning Sales Team Structure to Corporate Goals - make sure you've got the right roles identified to achieve the desired outcomes.
- Why an effective Job Description is key - Inside Sales is growing at an astronomical clip. Attracting the right talent starts with a Job Description that isn't boring and actually inspires those who read it; driving them to you proactively.
- The Positive Impact of Onboarding & Training your Sales Team Appropriately - right up there with recruiting, retaining is the second hardest piece of this particular pie. Be sure to retain your people, leveraging your Onboarding & Training Program.
- The Right Coaching Cadence - yes, you must provide consistent and constructive feedback. Dionne will cover the best practices of effective 1:1s.
- Reporting - just the facts please and the ones that matter. Data is great; however, data with a purpose is even better. And the best is data that clearly provides value in the form of action. We'll review examples of reporting/dashboards for your frontline reps as well as you the Manager.

As a salesperson, few experiences are more frustrating than when your selling performance went well but, to your dismay, the prospect didn’t buy. The problem isn’t always you.

Prospects can get in their own way and their decision-making suffers. This presentation teaches salespeople the art of “decision coaching.” You’ll learn the elements of a good buying process and how salespeople can best influence it.

Topics this talk covers:
· The elements of higher quality decision-making. Common ways prospects interfere, and what salespeople can do to improve it.
· How to apply performance-coaching principles to decision-making performance.
· How to increase prospect receptivity and interest.
· Learn a new system for creating motivated prospects who will follow through and remain loyal over time.

With an effective email strategy, sales organizations stand out from competitors, can increase their quality connect rates, and drive more revenue for the business. Most sales teams, however, don’t spend enough – or, in many cases, any – time building out an effective email strategy. This session will provide sales leaders and sales reps with the top requirements and concrete takeaways for creating an effective email campaign in a complex B2B sales world. Sales leaders will understand how they can improve their team’s prospecting success with a strategic email approach and reps will learn best practices for personalizing sales emails.

Jim Eberlin will present the case, backed by research, on how a rigorous sales process improves closure rates and reduces sales cycle times. In this breakout session, Jim will give tips on how best to create a rigorous sales process and align the sales organization. From this, Jim will show several benefits including coaching and sales performance improvement and overall predictability in the sales organization.

Joining a startup, especially as one of the first sales hires (if not the first) is incredibly exciting.

You've spent hours with inspiring, visionary founders in the interview process, you've met half (or more) of the existing team, and you've walked away with warm fuzzies. You've seen the product and asked a ton of questions, and you eagerly take the job feeling like you're getting in while the getting is better than good. It's great!

You ride the wave of excitement for a few weeks between signing the offer and your first day on the job. Then you show up. And the full weight of the realization hits you: just how little you have to work with. No process, no tools, maybe a CRM full of garbage or (worse yet) a CRM full of nothing at all.

You've got no data, no process, no marketing support, no guidance. In addition, you've got some BHAG in front of you and a whole lot riding on your shoulders.

In this session, Seth List, Director of Sales at Student Loan Genius, will share personal experiences being the first one in, and facilitate an open Q&A to talk through some of the issues you may be facing as an early-sales hire in a budding startup.

What we say we'll do and what we actually do can't be different. This session will give you action items to execute on, so you and your inside sales team can consistently hit quota.
