“Whilst some standardisation and compliance with (retail) industry best practice does have some merits, a retailer must never override their own ability to do some things differently. It is most likely that their own individualism is what attracts their customer base” Wise words from Retail247’s Martin Schofield.

"I'm not stressed," said the seller who had become so used to pressure that they no longer noticed its weight. More often than not, quite literally. Jeff Riseley insights on mental health in sales reveal a startling truth: 70% of sellers are struggling with mental health issues. It doesn't have to be that way! While we can’t control everything that causes stress, there are a few things we, as sellers, can manage. I don’t have all the answers, but I do know two things that consistently help reduce stress and anxiety: 1. Planning and routines – Jeff Bezos once said, “Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over.” Setting plans and taking action can significantly lower stress. 2. Play a game and/or exercise – When you engage in physical activity, your body releases "feel-good" hormones which naturally elevate your mood and reduce pain perception. Regular movement supports better sleep and overall mental resilience. If you’re experiencing chronic stress, seek help. What are you go to stress busting strategies, share it the comments below? #stress #sales #mentalhealth #b2bsales

I would go one step further and say that the consistent identification of vulnerable customers is the hardest part of the consumer duty, without a systematic approach. Once identified there is a well defined framework of supporting those customers. Its the reason Comentis Ltd was established to help firms quickly and consistently identify vulnerable customers. #FCA #consumerduty #vulnerable #customers

I wrote this piece on Bespoke Software for DIGIT.FYI ✌️ I explain how businesses are increasingly moving away from off-the-shelf software towards bespoke solutions in the search for greater agility, flexibility, and future-proofing. At ClearSky Logic, we are seeing a huge amount of businesses considering their next steps, reviewing their tech stack and stripping back the bits and pieces they no longer need.

POV: "We need more pipeline" Revenue teams are under unsustainable pressure, asked to hit targets increasing faster than the traditional remedies can show results. Is it time for a new solution to the age-old pipeline problem? Our hot take: PreSales is a critical lever to increase both sales process effectiveness and the market readiness and responsiveness of products.

2 massive takeaways from today, whatever you view on the specific details and policies; 1) The independent OBR have said it is unlikely to get economic growth within 5 years and economic growth is now predicted to be lower than it had forecast for the last government. 2) The OBR said it could not substantiate or support the so called “£22bn black hole” that the government has used as justification for the Budget. 🧐 https://lnkd.in/egKj3a9x #budget #budget2024 #rachelreeves
