Research Runner’s Favourite Sales-Related Quotes

Sales and B2B lead generation can be stressful, emotional workplace environments, with the pressure to hit targets in competitive markets. That’s why there are so many inspirational quotes about the industry which help provide ways to keep motivated and to understand how to remain upbeat while facing adversity. 

Here are some of our favourite quotes related to lead generation and sales to keep your team inspired!

“Don’t tell people your plans – show them your results.”

Sales is a results-driven industry, so it’s important to keep in mind that although you can talk figures, it’s the sale itself that matters. We always remind ourselves to deliver clear, consistent results when providing lead generation services for any of our B2B clients.

“Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman – not the attitude of the prospect.”

– W. Clement Stone 

Cold calling can be an intimidating activity, especially when you aren’t familiar with the person on the other end of the phone. However, with the right attitude, manners, experience in the industry, and a winning sales pitch, it’s possible to sell to even the most apprehensive clients!

“Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.”

-Richard Branson 

It takes a village to run a business, and the sales cycle requires all members of your team to be on their A-game. Sales training is key at all levels of experience, and losing an employee or client to a better opportunity may be tough, but it’s great to see a nurtured sales team thriving. At Research Runner, our team of lead generation experts are long-standing employees who know they are valued within the business and we pride ourselves on our dedication to equality and our integrated training framework.

“Approach each customer with the idea of helping him or her to solve a problem or achieve a goal, not of selling a product or service.”

– Brian Tracy

This is key within Research Runner’s mission and goals: we understand that for each B2B prospect that we approach for our clients, we need to empathise with them and to understand WHY they would like the products or services our client has to offer.

Sales is about helping people, which is why our services are often referred to as ‘sales therapy’ by our clients. Sometimes it helps to look at your business model from an outside perspective to understand how you can help people – and that’s how we can help you gain new customers!
