Do we think sales GURUs are full of shit or just like mostly full of shit?

They’re like, “do this to increase your conversions by 10%” and “this is how I sell.. it works so it’ll work for you.” 🍆 🍽


Like bitch, I sell to IT. You sell to sales leaders the dream of improving their sales team.


That’s like selling ice cream sammies to a fat kid in the middle of summer in Georgia.. fuck fat kids would eat that shit up even in the winter. I know because I was a fat kid in Georgia. That shit hits in all szns baaby.

Are sales gurus

biggest problem I see with 99% of these sales self-described "gurus" is most of them have never truly done the job.  ex- half of these influencers never even carried a revenue quota.  many of them were SDRs and then became SDR leaders.  nothing wrong with that but WTF do you think you are qualified to talk about closing???

the other one that drives me nuts are the folks who spent time as a "leader" and/or rep, but in a joke market or industry

hey I get we all need to work, but I don't think someone who sold printers to offices for 5 years, a decade ago, should be preaching how to do complex enterprise SW sales
