Maybe because I’m passionate about everything that is Tufts, maybe it was that I had just accepted an offer to become the Director of the Entrepreneur Center for the upcoming academic year, or most probably, it was because, more and more I was convinced that the profession of Sales was actually a science.  \nAt that time, I didn’t have enough real data about the science of Sales. Now, the science, the research, and the data about the profession of Sales has significantly advanced, and in the fall semester of 2021, I kicked off a new elective course within the Center simply titled “The Science of Sales”. At the same time, I also updated this ebook, which had last been edited back in the old days of mid-2020 . With that work done, which carried me through the last two quarters of 2021, I then sat down again in June and December 2022 to do another edit in prep for 2023 and now, once again here in January 2024.  \nSince 2020, in the profession of Sales, there’s not been “change”; there’s been a revolution in Sales: its practices, its processes, its tools and, most importantly, its people. We see it every day in the companies of our customers as sales managers and their teams adopt what we term in our management consulting in our practice of “The Science of Sales” as…  \nProcess, Tools, Technology, Math & People  \n…which then gets folded into our business vocabulary as “10 Rules of The Way.”  \n• This is the way we sell!  \n• There are no other ways!  \n• This is our discipline of Process, Tools, Technology, Math & People.  \n• Everyone in Sales sells the same way using the same tools.  \n• There is only one single source of truth in the transparency of all sales data.  \n• We share our best sales and customer success practices all the time everywhere.  \n• We innovate, formally adopting change to “The Way” focusing on customer value.  \n• We sell customer value not products or services.  \n• We are 100% focused on the health of our customers and, in turn, their customers.  \n• We focus on becoming trusted partners and strategic advisors for our customers.  \nAs you think through these 10 points, one of the first reactions from people not used to the formality of a unified sales process with built in tools all labeled and located within powerful AI-enabled CRM system is that this all sounds very structured, highly organized and data-dependent, and our blunt response is always the same: “Absolutely, just like…  \n• …your auto mechanic of your new car  \n• …your surgeon  \n• …the pilot on your next trip  \nIn these practices and thousands of others, there’s only one way with checklists, specific tools, detailed measurements and formal reviews all enhanced with technologies ranging from instructive videos to AIassisted bots, and in many cases requirements for re-certifications. To bring these comments down to the real world, that’s exactly the way it is for my Subaru mechanic and for my 2015 heart surgeon both of whom know which valves to clean out and replace on a regular schedule.  \nWe should expect the same formality from the men and women who are on the front line of our customer experience every day in every call and in every email!  \nJust to extend this thought process back to Tufts, I’m very proud of the fact that our Science of Sales course has now moved from merely being an elective to a required core course in order to achieve a minor in entrepreneurship at Tufts. I’m even more proud of those hundreds of men and women alums who have gone on to excel in the profession of Sales as BDRs, AEs, Managers, Directors and in many cases, such as at Hubspot, have become the head of sales.  \nBased on a foundation of using Hubspot’s marketing and sales technolo","cbCaiaU4G3oWH2EJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaU4G3oWH2EJ","pdf",1213106,53,"English","# Writing “The Winning Sales Plan in 2024”\n## From teaching to the Science of Sales\n## The 10 Rules of The Way\n## Real-world discipline and examples\n## Course structure and deliverables","[{\"question\":\"What is the “Science of Sales” approach described in the ebook?\",\"answer\":\"It frames sales as a science supported by a unified process, tools, technology, math, and people.
